Reminder from your pediatrician: Regular well child visits are essential to your child’s health. These routine appointments help your pediatrician:

• Track growth, development, and milestones
• Complete physical exams including heart, eyes, ears, and more
• Keep immunizations on schedule
• Offer guidance on nutrition, sleep, activity, and screen time
• Perform screenings such as vision, hearing, lead, and blood pressure

Well visits focus on prevention and overall wellness. If your child is sick, a separate sick visit should be scheduled and may be billed separately. Staying consistent with checkups helps catch concerns early and supports a strong relationship with your pediatrician.

Call today to schedule your child’s next well visit.
