Seeing children and parents at regular intervals is important in maintaining your child's health. Evaluating growth and development, discussing safety, nutrition, behavior and answering age related questions are the functions of well child/adolescent visits. We encourage the following schedule of visits; (the ages mentioned are approximate):
- 1-3 weeks of age
- 1 month
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 9 months
- 12 months
- 15 months
- 18 months
- 2 years
- Yearly physicals after the age of 2
We encourage advance scheduling of well childcare. Appointment may be scheduled on line. We encourage parents of infants to schedule their next check up at the end of each visit. In an event where this was not done, we suggest you call 2-4 weeks ahead of the time you wish to be seen for the next appointment. We recommend the scheduling of older children (5 year and older) for their physicals in the summer. This helps us keep sufficient time available to see sick children during the illness season and also help the children avoid unnecessary missed school time. Generally, we see well children 9-11 a.m. and 1-3.30 p.m. and sick children later in the morning and afternoon to prevent the spread of illness.
