At Intown Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of pediatric infectious diseases. Children are particularly susceptible to infections due to their developing immune systems, and our team of expert pediatricians is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to help your child recover quickly and safely. With convenient locations in Glenwood Park, Brookhaven, and Decatur, our Atlanta pediatric clinic is here to support your family’s health.
Our pediatric infectious disease services focus on early diagnosis, effective treatment, and preventive care to minimize the spread of infections.

Dr. Sells is fantastic! We have been with her since our baby since her release from the NICU! Dr. Sells is very knowledgeable and patient! She has helped our baby love her visits to the doctor, even requesting to go see “Dr. Sells” without a scheduled appointment. Thank you for the special gifts (books) at each scheduled doctor’s visit! Perfect touch!
Preventive Care and Education
Prevention plays a vital role in managing pediatric infectious diseases. At Intown Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, we are committed to not only treating infections but also preventing them through proper education and vaccination.
Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to prevent serious infectious diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine immunizations for children starting from birth. Vaccines help protect children from diseases like whooping cough, chickenpox, and measles, which can spread rapidly in communities. Our team will ensure that your child’s immunizations are up-to-date and answer any questions you may have about the vaccination schedule.
In addition to vaccinations, we provide families with guidance on preventive measures, such as:
Handwashing Practices
Teaching your child proper handwashing techniques can significantly reduce the risk of infections. We recommend washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after playing outside, using the restroom, or before meals.
Healthy Habits
Encouraging healthy eating, adequate sleep, and physical activity strengthens your child’s immune system, helping them fight off infections more effectively.
When to Stay Home
If your child is sick, we can guide you on when to keep them home from school or daycare to prevent the spread of illness to others.
By focusing on both treatment and prevention, our goal is to keep your child healthy and active all year round.
