WHOLE-CHILD CARE
Dr. Curry believes good child healthcare begins by educating parents to make informed decisions regarding all aspects of a child’s health including nutrition, physical activity and mental development. This whole-child approach affects all aspects of his approach to treatment including advocating for proven childhood vaccinations, using medication minimally to allow the child to develop their own naturally occurring defense responses, and monitoring physical, mental and emotional development as the child progresses from infancy through childhood, puberty and adolescence.
In response to the flu epidemic of 2010, Dr. Curry created two separate waiting areas in his office – one for children visiting for routine examinations, checkups or vaccinations and one for children needing care for infectious illnesses – so that well children would not be exposed to infections.
His courteous, easy manner and colorfully decorated offices have made him a favorite of children and families from across the Metroplex.
