The best care

Keeping your children healthy is our primary goal.  Parents know who they should go to when their child is sick, but pediatrician visits are just as important for healthy children.  The AAP recommends well child visits as a way for pediatricians and parents to provide the

best care in serving the needs of children.

 

By complying with well child visits, parents can ensure that their children are growing healthily and developing age-appropriately.  Through immunization, parents can protect their children from vaccine-preventable disease.  In addition to growth and development, other topics discussed during well child visits include nutrition, physical activity, sleep, safety in the home and at school, and emotional health,
