Well Child Visits
Well Child Checks are essential to make sure your child is on the right path to staying healthy. We do not want to miss important milestones in your child’s physical, emotional and mental development. We want to take care of your child so that when concerns or illnesses happen, we can focus on how to improve the underlying issue.
Before you schedule an appointment, please keep in mind:
- Your child’s age – If your child is turning 1 year old, 4 years old, or 11 years old, please schedule the visit after their birthday to make sure they can receive their necessary vaccinations.
- Insurance coverage – Virtually all insurance plans cover well visits. But some plans require that you wait 365 days between visits. If you can’t remember the date of your child’s last well visit, please call us and we would be happy to help.
