Pediatricians & Children’s Health Clinics in Calgary (2025 Guide)

Finding the right pediatrician in Calgary is essential for your child’s health and development.
While specialist pediatricians focus on infants, children, and adolescents, many family physicians—like Dr Helen Dion—also provide comprehensive care for common childhood needs, with referrals to subspecialists when necessary.

This Calgary Health Review guide highlights pediatric clinics, referral options, and family-doctor alternatives for parents seeking continuity of care.

When to See a Pediatrician vs a Family Doctor

Family doctors can manage most child-care concerns:

• Routine checkups and growth monitoring

• Immunizations

• School and sports physicals

• Ear infections, sore throats, allergies

• Mental-health and developmental discussions

Pediatricians provide specialized expertise for:

• Premature infants or chronic conditions

• Developmental or neurological concerns

• Complex medication or hospital follow-up

• Specialist referrals to neonatology, cardiology, endocrinology, etc.

If your child requires ongoing specialized care, your family doctor can refer you directly to a pediatrician.
