Pediatric Care
This information is not designed to be all inclusive nor is it intended to substitute for the individual advice provided by your pediatrician. Panda Pediatrics takes no responsibility for the accuracy and content of these pages or links from these pages.
Primary Care
You will need to work closely with your primary care provider and asthma specialist team to control your child's asthma. Because asthma is a chronic disease, that means it's there every day, even when the child feels fine and has no symptoms.
Ear Infections
Ear infections occur at any age, but are most common in the first 3 years of life. They are caused by a virus that causes swelling inside the nose and ears. When the ears are unable to drain fluid out into the back of the nose then a bacterial infection can get started in the ear. While colds and viruses can’t be treated by antibiotics, a bacterial infection of the ear can be treated with antibiotics to speed healing and decrease complications. Typically, children with an ear infection will have moderate to severe pain of the ear and a fever of 101 or greater. Your doctor may choose to not use an antibiotic if the infection is only in one ear, has mild or absent pain, or the child does not have a fever.. Pain is managed with regular ibuprofen or tylenol. Typically, the first sign of an ear infection is moderate ear pain and fever and not drainage. If you do see drainage please seek medical attention. Ear tubes are considered for ear infections when there have been 3 infections in a 6 month period or 6 infections in a year. Ear tubes decrease the chance of your child developing future ear infections, hearing problems, speech problems, and antibiotic-resistant infections.
Family Practice
Emergency Care
While it is preferable to see your pediatrician, occasionally your child may have an emergent issue that requires immediate attention. Below is a list of hospitals, Emergency Departments, and Urgent Care Clinics that, we believe, provide excellent pediatric care.
Infectious Diseases
Dr. VanderVelde is certified through the American Board of Pediatrics and is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). She is a member of the AAP Section on Infectious Diseases where she serves on the Education Committee. She considers herself a lifelong learner and is currently completing her Masters in Public Health through the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
Flu Shots
Immunizations
Dr. VanderVelde completed her General Pediatrics residency training at Phoenix Children’s Hospital where she was selected to serve as a Chief Resident. She completed a 3-year fellowship in Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City in 2021 prior to moving to Lawrence. Her fellowship research projects were targeted at the diagnosis and management of pediatric antibiotic allergies, improving medical education feedback methods, and implementation of immunizations in the pediatric emergency department.

Autism

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Dr. Kelley loves to interact with families and help guide them through their child’s growth and development. With studies showing 1 in 8 kids have ADHD, it gives him much gratification to provide patients and parents the tools needed to optimize academic and life success. Dr. Kelley thrives in the world of computers and for 20 years has been committed to keeping the practice on the cutting edge of technology.

Eczema
Eczema is a is a common and chronic skin condition in which the skin appears inflamed, red, itchy and dry. There is no cure for eczema but there are recommendations to help manage symptoms. Managing eczema comes down to these basics: avoiding triggers, implementing a regular bathing and moisturizing routine, and using prescription medications as directed.
Rashes
Skin Care
Treat the eczema as per step 1, until the skin feels normal for a total of 3 days before discontinuing therapy and returning to your normal skin care.

Allergies
People with eczema tend to have an immune system that overreacts when triggered, producing red, itchy skin symptoms. Some children have specific things that trigger episodes of itchiness and rashes, while others may have none that can be identified. While allergenic triggers for eczema are not common, there are specific situations where your pediatrician may recommend allergy testing, such as difficult to treat eczema under 1 year of age.
