Check-ups become less frequent after your child turns three, when visits stretch out to once per year. Nevertheless, annual well checks are important!
Your child’s provider will discuss your child’s growth and development, and address any concerns you have about nutrition, behavior, sleep, and safety. She will also perform a full physical examination to ensure your child is healthy and there are no early warning signs of illness.
Well checks are equally important for our adolescent patients, where our providers maintain a safe place for your teen to feel comfortable asking questions and getting advice.
We find that many organizations your child is involved with require physical exams prior to participation. This is the time to make these visits- just don’t forget to bring any forms!
For your convenience, we have listed below each provider’s general availability.
- For patients of Dr. Wise – she has availability beginning at the end of June.
