Integrative medicine for toddler anemia
I am looking for recommendations for an integrative medicine pediatric provider that can help consult and treat pediatric anemia. My toddler has persistent anemia. We have ruled out most underlying conditions as the cause through her Kaiser pediatrician and hematology. I am looking for physician that can evaluate her health more holistically and offer treatment guidance. Preference for someone in the east bay and I am willing to pay out-of-pocket. Anyone have recommendations and/or experience with this particular issue? THANK YOU

Sorry to hear you are going through this. My son had an illness that Kaiser physicians could not diagnose. We went to Getzwell Pediatrics in SF, an integrative pediatric practice We did pay out of pocket. They were finally the ones to diagnose and treat him appropriately. Hope they can help you!

You have probably already tested for this, but there is a disease called Beta Thalassemia Trait that causes anemia that cannot be treated. If your child is a carrier, anemia would be the only symptom.
