Well Child Exam

Childhood is a time of rapid growth and change. Children have more well-child visits when they are younger in order to complete their childhood vaccinations. Each visit is a complete physical exam with a check on child's growth and development in order to find or prevent problems. The provider will add additional tests that are age appropriate such as screening for lead and checking for anemia.

Even if your child is healthy, well-child visits are an opportunity to focus on your child's wellness. Talking about ways to improve overall health of your child by mental and physical stimulation can prevent problems in the future and help to keep your child healthy.
