What to Expect During A Well-Visit

Well-child visits are routine check-ups recommended to monitor a child's growth and development from birth until adolescence. You can expect to receive valuable information about your child's physical, cognitive, and emotional health during well-visits. The frequency of well-visits varies depending on the child's age and healthcare needs. Infants typically require more frequent visits, while older children may only need annual check-ups.

During well-child visits, our pediatrician performs a physical exam, including measuring the child's height, weight, and head circumference, plus checking their heart, lungs, and reflexes. We'll also ask about the child's nutrition, sleep patterns, behavior, and developmental milestones. They may steer parenting and discipline techniques and offer advice on injury prevention, immunizations, and disease prevention.
