Your Guide to Well-Child Visits: What To Expect and How To Prepare

Well-child visits are an important way to keep track of your child's emotional, social, and physical health and development. These appointments provide an opportunity for both you and your healthcare provider to check in on your child's growth and development, as well as discuss ways to keep your child healthy and safe. Well-child visits also play a significant role in prevention as well. Through regular checkups and screenings , your child's provider can catch potentially serious issues early on before they cause any complications or severe illness.

At your child's visit, we'll address questions you and your child may have, provide support for your child's overall health and well-being, talk through any pertinent health information and offer healthcare advice. Topics that are covered may include growth, development, behavior and mental health, nutrition, sleep, safety, and guidance on what to expect in the next stage of development. Your healthcare provider will conduct a physical exam, take measurements, update immunizations, and order any applicable lab tests or specialist referrals. This is also a great time to raise any concerns you may have about your child's health and emotional well-being you may have noticed on your own. Our goal is to form a partnership based on honest communication, trust, and respect for your family's culture and traditions.
