Hi ,

The countdown to summer and those much-needed vacations has officially begun! Wherever your destinations may be, PVMG can help you travel safe and travel smart! As a certified travel clinic, we can offer travel vaccines and medications to help protect you while traveling internationally. Simply let us know where you are going and come in for a visit 4 to 6 weeks before your trip. After that, the only thing left for you to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your vacation!

For those of you signing your kids up for summer activities, don’t forget that most camps require a physical exam prior to attending. Many summer sports programs also require a physical exam. We recommend that all children who plan to participate in summer athletics or attend camp during the summer have a thorough physical examination. Summer activities are a lot of fun, but spending a lot of time in the sun could aggravate an existing medical problem. Summer activities are also often very strenuous, so it’s important to know if your child is healthy enough to participate! Beat the summer rush and book your child’s physical today. Keep in mind that our full-time pediatrician, Dr. Mitton, is now offering physicals on the weekends! 

 

Students

For students, summer is the absolute BEST time to get tested for ADHD and/or learn ways to better manage ADHD. Summer provides students with the time and flexibility that is needed to experiment with different ADHD management techniques and find what works best for them without affecting their academics. This way, once it’s time to head back-to-school, the student can do so feeling confident that their ADHD won’t hold them back! 

For more information on how we can help you or the student in your life manage ADHD or to schedule ADHD testing, contact our office at 310-544-6858 ext. 276 or visit our website.

From all of us here at Palos Verdes Medical Group, we hope you have a happy and healthy summer!

  PENICILLIN ALLERGY?
 
 

According to a new study, the majority of people who think they are allergic to penicillin, based on a doctor's opinion after an adverse reaction, are not actually allergic! After an adverse reaction to penicillin, most people never take it again and are treated with more dangerous alternatives. 

The physicians at Palos Verdes Medical Group recommend that anyone who has been told they are penicillin allergic, but who has not been tested by an allergist, should be tested. Contact us today to schedule your penicillin allergy test! PVMG's allergist, Dr. Lawrence Sher, will work with you to find out if you are truly allergic to penicillin, and if you are, determine your treatment options.
