Well Baby and Well Child Visits
We strongly believe in preventative medicine. That is how we truly create wellness that lasts a lifetime. Well visits are opportunities for us to:
-
Monitor your child’s growth and development
-
Provide anticipatory guidance for what stages of development your child will experience next
-
Teach about lifestyles that provide for optimal health and wellness
-
Monitor for abnormal findings on physical exam or laboratory findings to intervene quickly if a problem is present
