Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people be under pediatric care up to the age of 21. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all of their developmental stages, as they grow and mature.

On a more personal note, Dr. Kagan lives in Virginia Beach with wife, Betsy, and has 2 children and 4 grandchildren. His daughter is a clinical psychologist and his son is a professional artist who has exhibited worldwide. In his free time, he enjoys relaxing at the beach with a good book, anything Red Sox, flying a Cessna 172, amateur astronomy, and, of course, Angry Birds.
