Why We're Different Our clinic is proudly owned by the physicians that work here. We are committed to remaining strong and independent. What does this mean for patient families? Our appointments are longer than the community average, which allows our providers to spend more time with our patients and make special accommodations if needed. Our average charges are lower than the community average. Our providers live in, volunteer in, and care about the well-being of the communities surrounding our clinics. Our providers and staff are chosen carefully for not only their expertise, but also, for their empathy and kindness. Provider and medical assistant (MA) one-on-one pairing: the same MA works with the same provider the majority of the time. This allows patient families to form a relationship with their provider and MA pair to provide consistent care. Your experience with us matters. We want our patients to have a great experience every time they visit us so they can trust us and feel comfortable. We specialize in the ongoing needs of your child or adolescent in an environment that is family-friendly, convenient, and compassionate. We provide lactation and integrative medicine services As an independent group, all clinical and business decisions are made here. There are no higher-ups. Our staff members work well together across all departments. The providers set the standard for excellent service and are on the same team as our staff. They are collegial and respectful, inspiring the same qualities in all staff members, which further enhances the care we provide for our patient families as a team. Patient Testimonials Every experience over the last 11 years has been positive! At our home clinic or the walk-in clinic, I have always felt great about the care we receive. I've been with you for 17 years with two kids (one with special needs) and I've had excellent service from everyone with whom I've come in contact on every single occasion. Every experience and all staff at WCC are amazing and we have been coming for 40 years! Love the staff! Keep doing what you are doing! We love the clinic and I refer you to everyone! I love how the office is always clean and the staff are very responsive. My children have been seen at your clinic for 11 years now. Both kids are extremely comfortable with your staff and doctors. Everyone has been so friendly and warm with them. As a parent it's so nice to have kids that want to go to the doctor vs being scared or nervous. Thank you for creating such a great environment for kids! We love Wayzata Children's Clinic! I have recommended this clinic to several friends who now bring their children to the clinic and are grateful for the recommendation!

Book online! Book Now Mara Liss MD Biography Mara is another Minnesota native, having grown up in Golden Valley. She went east for college and graduated from Tufts University in Massachusetts with an undergraduate degree in biology. After living in Washington D.C., she chose to move back to the Twin Cities for medical school and her pediatric residency at the University of Minnesota. She then completed an integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Kansas before starting at Wayzata Children’s Clinic in 2013. Dr. Liss is board certified in pediatrics, and aims to bring holistic, root-cause medicine to patients and families by way of consultation-based visits that encompass the many aspects of health. She has a specialized interest in how nutrition contributes to health, and believes that food is medicine. She works with families to develop plans that allow even young patients to be full participants in their health, which allows for optimal well-being. She is also a certified lactation counselor. Mara, her husband Adam and their daughter live in St. Louis Park and enjoy exploring the Twin Cities, the outdoors, spending time with family and traveling. Dr. Liss is a specialty Provider who sees patients on a consultation basis for integrative medicine and lactation visits. She works collaboratively with your child's primary care provider. Integrative medicine blends the best of traditional, complementary and alternative medicine. It is based on the belief that the human body has innate healing ability and addresses not only a person’s physical symptoms, but also the social, psychological, environmental and spiritual aspects of health and illness. We believe in empowering patients and families in their own care as well as provide them with healthcare choices that are proven to be safe and effective. Back to Providers

We've had long-standing concerns about a phenomenon called antibiotic resistance. This is a serious public health problem caused by the overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics. Antibiotics are excellent medications when used appropriately; they fight bacterial infections and have saved many lives. The problem occurs when bacteria that have previously responded to a particular antibiotic get over-exposed to it. Those bacteria can actually change their structure and become invincible against the antibiotics that previously controlled them. This is called "antibiotic resistance", and it can affect an individual person or an entire community. The potential danger of antibiotic resistance is that the more our current antibiotics are used (especially if used inappropriately), the less effective they will be when we really need them to treat serious and life-threatening illnesses. Until now, the primary response to the problem has been the development of new antibiotics, a strategy that is expensive and temporary. There is a limit to this potential, and we close in on it every day. The most common antibiotic overuse or misuse situations occur with viral infections. Viral illnesses, while bothersome, will not get better any more quickly if an antibiotic is used. They will run their course in the time it takes the body's immune system to clear the infection. Sometimes it is assumed that if no antibiotic is advised there is "nothing wrong" or "nothing we can do." Viruses do indeed cause illnesses; our job is to keep a child with a viral illness comfortable, hydrated, and nourished, and to watch for signs of more serious illness. Examples of Common Infections Colds Characterized by runny nose, sneezing, low-grade fever, achy muscles, headache, fatigue, and cough, the common cold usually lasts from 3 to 14 days. The runny nose usually goes from clear to thick green/yellow in the middle of the cold. This is normal and does not indicate a sinus infection. The average child has 3-8 colds a year (up to 12 if in daycare), which can mean one cold after another, with no break in symptoms in between. Sinus disease Most colds involve sinus disease (congestion and pressure in the sinus area). A sinus infection is more likely if a child's cold symptoms persist more than 14 days without any signs of improvement, or if the symptoms worsen (high fever, increasing headaches, facial pain or swelling). Sore Throats Most sore throats are caused by viruses (70-90%). Strep throat is bacterial, and is usually the only type of sore throat that needs an antibiotic. A throat culture is the only way to know for sure; if it is negative, then your child does not need an antibiotic. Ear Infections Believe it or not, many ear infections (50-80%) will heal completely with observation alone and without antibiotics. This is especially true for those described as middle ear fluid without signs of other disease (redness, inflammation, fever). Sometimes children complain of ear pain but do not actually have an infection. This is the reason we see all children with symptoms of an ear infection. Coughs Most coughs are viral, even ones that last a week or so after a cold goes away. Some are dry and hacky, some are loose and congested. The diagnosis of "bronchitis" means "inflammation of the bronchi" (the large airways to the lungs). This is usually caused by a virus, as is most illness-related wheezing and even pneumonia. It is wise to have a worsening or chronic cough evaluated, but an antibiotic may not be needed. Influenza The symptoms of this winter virus include fever, cough, chills, fatigue, head and muscle aches, crankiness, and a sore throat. Unless there are complications no treatment is needed except fluids, comfort and time. The yearly vaccine usually prevents it. Pink Eye This itchy, red, mattery eye infection is occasionally caused by a virus and therefore may not respond to antibiotic eye drops. It frequently comes along with a cold, and, whether it is bacterial or viral, it is contagious so good hygiene is important. The best treatment is warm packs and vigilance (seek an evaluation at the clinic if it worsens). Antibiotic Resistance We are often asked if an antibiotic will prevent a secondary infection (such as an ear infection from a cold). While there is a select group of children considered high risk for developing secondary infections, most children are not at risk and antibiotics will probably not help. We are also sometimes confronted with the statement, "That antibiotic didn't work last time." If a child has a current infection, and cleared a previous infection more than two or three months ago (regardless of what antibiotic was used last), it is highly unlikely that the current infection is caused by the same past germ. Using a broad-spectrum ("stronger") antibiotic when a first-line antibiotic is likely to achieve the same results is another way of promoting antibiotic resistance. Bacteria develop resistance more easily against broad-spectrum antibiotics. For the reasons mentioned above we are finding it more critical to examine why and how we use antibiotics. To slow the emergence of resistant bacteria, we need to preserve the antibiotics we have by using them more sensibly. Studies show that reducing the use of an antibiotic is generally followed by a decrease in antibiotic resistance community-wide. We realize that recommending symptomatic versus antibiotic treatments for our patients is sometimes stressful for parents. We are well aware that it is hard to have a sick child, especially just before or during a vacation or special event, or when you really need to be at work. We also know it is never easy to come in for an appointment. But we value your child's health and feel an accurate diagnosis is important. This usually cannot be done over the phone. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's diagnosis or treatment, please ask. To prevent illnesses and the need for antibiotics, we can all help: Be realistic and rational about infections and their treatments; let's all avoid using or requesting antibiotics when they are neither indicated nor proven beneficial. Never start antibiotics on your own ("leftovers" from a previous illness). This increases the risk of resistance and can affect the outcome of laboratory tests if they are needed. Wash your hands, and your child's hands, frequently. Encourage immunizations. Work with daycare centers and schools to improve infection control practices. We vow to do our part, by educating ourselves, our patients and families, and by resisting the casual antibiotic attitude so prevalent in our society.

Acetaminophen & Ibuprofen Dosages If you are using acetaminophen or ibuprofen for more than 5 days, please contact the clinic. Dosing Charts Acetaminophen (healthychildren.org) Ibuprofen (healthychildren.org) Information Acetaminophen is the generic name for medications such as Tylenol®, Tempra®, and Panadol®. General acetaminophen dosage is 5 - 7 mg per pound per dose every 4 - 6 hours as needed. Acetaminophen comes in suppository form, also, (brand name Feverall®) which is good to have on hand in case of vomiting. Dosing is the same as oral. It is not recommended to use acetaminophen if a child is under three months of age (unless specifically recommended by a health care provider). "Treating" a fever or fussiness in this age group without knowing the cause of the symptoms can mask the illness and prolong a diagnosis. Ibuprofen is the generic name for medications such as Motrin® and Advil®. General ibuprofen dosage is 3-5mg per pound per dose every 6-8 hours as needed. Give with food. Ibuprofen is not recommended for infants under 6 months of age.

10, 11 years (female) Nutrition It is your responsibility to eat 3 meals every day of healthy foods. The Food Pyramid is available to help guide your choices. No one is perfect, but try to make many more healthy choices than "junk food" choices. Breakfast is important — it sets your energy level for the whole day. You will do better not only at school but also at after-school activities just by eating a good breakfast. Try to eat at least 3-4 foods every day that have a lot of calcium (milk, yogurt, calcium-fortified orange juice). Your bone strength and growth (now and in the future) depend on it. Many adults wish they had known to eat better when they were younger. Some illnesses could have been prevented by eating more fiber (fruits and vegetables, breads and cereals). You can take on more responsibility for creating your meals and helping with the shopping. Try to eat with your family as much as possible. As your life gets busier, you will want this time to sit and talk with your mom or dad. Some people your age are concerned about their size and weight. If you eat well, drink water, and exercise, your body will naturally grow at its' own pace. If you are concerned about your size, or a friend's, please talk to your health care provider. Wellness Visits You probably have only one set of molars (4 teeth) due to come in. Good brushing now will pay you back well later in life. See your dentist 2 times a year. Teeth Your body still needs at least 10 hours of sleep a night to rest and store up energy for the next day. Try not to save all of your "think time" for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt and sit in the back seat of the car. Wear your helmet if you are riding a bike or in-line skating, even if no one else does. Permanent, life-changing injuries have resulted from simple accidents. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A great tan is not worth cancer. Never go near water without an adult, and wear your life jacket if boating. Never take medicine (including vitamins) without your mom or dad helping you figure out how much you need. Too much can cause serious illness. Give your body only the best. Make the decision now that you will not smoke, take drugs, or drink alcohol. Talk with your family about how they feel, and about what you learn in school. Practice what you would say if someone (a friend or stranger) offered you cigarettes, drugs, or alcohol. Your friends and family may not do many things together, but introduce them to each other anyway. They all care about you, just in different ways. Take a basic first-aid class and a babysitting class. If you are in sports, make sure the playing areas are kept up well, and all protective equipment fits and is in good shape. Never share head gear. Safety Many people your age spend a lot of time with friends. Sometimes parents feel that you do not care about them as you used to. Participate in scheduling a "family" event at least once a week, and sit and talk with your mom or dad at least a little every day. You may find that you disagree more now with their rules and beliefs. You are different people. Talk openly about how you feel or things you'd like to change. And remember to take some "free time" just for yourself every day. Family Many girls notice the body changes of "puberty" happening now (they can start anywhere between ages 8-14). These include fast height growth, breast development, armpit and pubic hair, body odor, and acne. Most girls start their periods between ages 10-16 (average 12-13). Boys usually start showing signs of puberty by ages 12-14, with their growth spurt at ages 13-16. Body changes can make people excited, or nervous, or embarrassed. If you have any questions about body changes or sexuality, please ask your mom or dad or your health care provider. There are also many good books available on these topics. We look forward to seeing you again for a check-up next year. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions about your body or health. Try to be at least 10 minutes early for all of your check-ups.

6, 7 years Nutrition To help your body become bigger, smarter, stronger, and faster, you need to eat three meals a day and snacks of healthy foods. You can probably think of many healthy foods that you like. Believe it or not, the foods you eat today will help you feel better not just tomorrow but also in 50 years! Remember that your body never needs junk food (candy, cookies, chips, soda-pop). These things sure taste good but do not help you grow or stay healthy. They also can cause cavities in your teeth. It is O.K. to have these treats for special times, but your body does not need them every day. You only have one body, so give it the best! Every once in awhile, try a food you did not think you liked. Just like the rest of your body grows and changes, your taste buds in your mouth do, too. You just may surprise yourself by liking something new. And don't forget to tell your mom or dad if you would like to help with the shopping or in making your meals. They would probably be very happy to have your help. Wellness Visits Pretty soon you will notice that you will start losing your teeth and new ones will grow in their place. Maybe you have already lost some. These new teeth are called "permanent" teeth. That means that you will have them for the rest of your life. No new teeth will come after these, so brushing your teeth 2-3 times a day is very important. You should also see the dentist for a tooth check-up 2 times a year. Teeth Your body needs 10-12 hours of sleep a night so it can store up energy for the next day. Sometimes it is hard to go to bed if you are doing something fun, but you know you are giving your body the best. Sleep Continue to sit in a booster seat while in the car. This will help the seatbelt keep you more safe, and will actually be more comfortable. Also, remember to continue sitting in the back seat (until you are 12). Always wear sunscreen if you are playing outside (summer and winter). Always wear your helmet if you are riding your bike or scooter or skateboard or if you are roller-blading, even if no one else does. You will be the smart person. Never go near water (lakes, pools, or rivers) without an adult nearby. Remember to wear your life-jacket if you are ever on a boat (it's a Minnesota State Law). Never take medicine (including vitamins) without your parents helping you figure out how much you need. Some medicines could make you very sick if you take too much or if you really do not need them. You are in charge of your body and who touches you. The only people who ever touch or look at your private parts are doctors and nurses (in a clinic or hospital), or your parents (if you ask them to). Talk with your family about what you would do if you needed help. Do you know how to use the "911" emergency system? Does your family have a fire safety plan? What would you do if a stranger came up to you? What if a dog you did not know started running toward you? Safety Most people your age spend a lot of time in school, learning from the teacher and making new friends. You will be really good at some things, and will need to work harder at others. Everyone is like this, even grown-ups. If you always try your best you can be very proud of yourself. Have fun with your friends and your different activities (sports, music, scouts) but remember that your family also wants to spend time with you. You may not always agree with members of your family or their rules. The best way to solve problems is to use your words and tell others how you feel. We also recommend that you spend no more than 2 hours a day playing video games, computer games, and watching TV. Check with your parents on what TV shows and games are OK. We look forward to seeing you again for a check-up next year. By then you will be a few inches taller, a lot smarter, and have more fun stories about your life to share with us! Please try to be at least 10 minutes early for all of your check-ups. Do something that makes you happy every day!
