PediaLabs is Coming to Camelback!

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 12:34:30 GMT

We are pleased to partner with PediaLabs in order to conveniently and easily obtain blood work in office.

We would like to bring to your attention an important update regarding laboratory services at our office.

While our healthcare team will continue to oversee your child's medical care and order necessary lab tests, we want to make you aware we will offer phlebotomy(laboratory services) through PediaLabs , an independent Phlebotomy company, in our office by appointment. There will be an additional fee of $45.00 for this in-office service. You will schedule and pay the fee directly with Pedialabs . For more information and to schedule a blood draw, visit http://mypedialabs.com.

Please note that PediaLabs is a separate entity from our practice. They have their own billing and operational procedures, and they will be responsible for the lab work itself. They are responsible for facilitating courier service with Sonora Quest, where the laboratory studies will be conducted. Our role is to simply facilitate the process by ordering the tests your child needs and hosting PediaLabs in our facility for your convenience. This company specializes in pediatric care and we feel it is superior to other labs in the valley because of this.

We assure you that PediaLabs meets our high standards of care and we trust them to provide quality phlebotomy services. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's healthcare needs. We look forward to continuing to serve you.

CDC Health Advisory

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 12:08:04 GMT

Multiple states have reported potential cases of high blood lead levels (BLLs) in children consuming recalled cinnamon-containing applesauce products that have high levels of lead. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises clinicians and health departments to consider the possibility of illness due to lead exposure and report cases to their local health authorities.

FDA, CDC, and state and local partners are investigating a potential link between high BLLs and consuming certain cinnamon-containing apple purée and applesauce products.

Recommendations for the Public (Parents, Caregivers, Guardians)

Do not buy, eat, sell, or serve recalled cinnamon-containing applesauce pouch products because they may contain lead.
Parents and caregivers of children who may have consumed recalled products should contact the child’s healthcare provider about getting a blood test for lead.

State partners tested multiple lots of the reported products, and test results indicated the products contained extremely high levels of lead. WanaBana, Schnucks, and Weis have initiated voluntary recalls of certain lots of the following products:

WanaBana brand apple cinnamon fruit purée pouches
Schnucks brand cinnamon applesauce pouches
Weis brand cinnamon applesauce pouches

More information about the specific recalled products may be found on the FDA’s website: Investigation of Elevated Lead Levels: Applesauce Pouches (November 2023) | FDA

Lead toxicit primarily targets the central nervous system. Children are more vulnerable to lead poisoning than adults because their nervous systems are still developing. Children also tend to absorb a higher fraction of ingested lead than adults. Although children with lead exposure may have no apparent acute symptoms, even low levels of lead have been associated with learning, behavioral, and cognitive deficits. A child who is exposed to large amounts of lead may develop acute lead poisoning, presenting with gastrointestinal, hematological, and neurological effects, including one or more of the following signs and symptoms: anemia, abdominal pain, weakness, and severe neurological sequelae (e.g., seizures, encephalopathy, and coma), which may result in brain damage. Some effects of lead poisoning in a child may continue into adulthood. Adults who have high BLLs may be at increased risk for high blood pressure, other cardiovascular effects, kidney problems, adverse reproductive outcomes, and gout. More information about adverse effects of lead exposure can be found in the ATSDR Lead Toxicological Profile .
