Well Child
Preventative Medicine and Anticipatory Guidance are the cornerstones of pediatric care. We recommend that your child(ren) follow the schedule for regular check-ups. Many problems and concerns are discussed at these visits, and occasionally concerning problems are recognized and further evaluated. It can also simply provide a “clean bill of health!”
