Pediatric Checkups

Due to the wide array of issues that are screened for at a well-child exam, it is highly recommended that you begin wellness exams at an early stage.

From the earliest stages of toddlerhood, we can screen for autism and other developmental conditions. Our expert medical providers can screen your child to make sure he or she is meeting the appropriate developmental milestones. We can administer an official test to identify the autism spectrum disorder as early as 18 months.

Apart from monitoring your child's social and linguistic development, our pediatric wellness exams also screen for potential dental issues (such as decay) and can make referrals to a dentist once a child has the first tooth come through.

Starting around ages 3-4, we will provide thorough vision and hearing screenings to identify any potential issues that should be handled by an optometrist or hearing specialist. We watch out for signs of impaired vision, hearing loss, and other issues that are significant for your child's lifelong health.

As mentioned above, we begin pediatric wellness exams as soon as possible so that we can catch any potential health or developmental problems early on. At your child's first appointment, you will need to fill out paperwork on their behalf regarding your family medical history and any particular concerns you may have about your child's health.

Once you and your child have entered an examination room, a medical professional will perform a standard physical exam, including recording your child's height, weight, and other vital measurements. The medical provider will also perform whatever screenings are developmentally appropriate for your child, such as vision, hearing, or dental checks. We will also make sure your child is up on his or her shots.

Once the well-child exam is complete, your medical provider will sit down with you and discuss the results of the checkup. Whether or not the screenings identify any causes for concern, our medical professional will want to discuss developmental milestones and provide wellness advice for your child's ongoing health.
