Regular Check-Ups
Infants and toddlers:

Children and adolescents:
As recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, we suggest that children have yearly physicals beginning at age 3 years old and continuing through college. This allows us to provide complete and recommended pediatric care to your child on a regular basis, including monitoring of growth and puberty (height, weight, BMI, and blood pressure), administering appropriate vaccinations, performing recommended bloodwork (hemoglobin, lead, cholesterol), monitoring specific development (vision, language, motor skills, social skills), and addressing any concerns that exist for the child or their families.
