Well-Child Exams

Children between the ages of 1 and 4 should visit their pediatrician regularly to ensure health and normal development.

During each visit, parents have the opportunity to discuss behavior, eating and sleeping habits and receive childhood vaccinations.

Our care team monitors the progress of each developmental milestone of your child to ensure they grow to become healthy and happy adults.

At the appointment, the provider will give your child a complete checkup, including:

• Measure your child’s height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse
• Check your child’s eyes, ears, nose throat, lymph nodes, heart, lungs, and abdomen for any abnormalities
• Assess your child’s neck, spine, shoulders, arms, wrists, elbows, knees, legs, and feet
• Check hearing and vision
• Blood tests may be required
• Make sure your child has his/her updated immunizations (please bring the
• immunization record with you)
• Review your medical history
