The Benefits of Well-Child Visits

February 19, 2020

Childhood is a time of rapid growth and change, which is why it’s important for young ones to be monitored regularly with well-child visits to their pediatrician — to ensure they are developing normally and hitting their milestones.

At the office of Prime Immediate and Primary Care, our highly skilled and friendly professionals have your child’s health as their top priority. We will perform a complete physical exam to check your child’s growth and development in order to find or prevent problems. We’ll also educate you, as parents, on important topics you need to be aware of as your child grows.

Well-child visits: a doctor/parent partnership

— Prevention. Your child gets scheduled immunizations to prevent illness. Even if your child is healthy, well-child visits are a good time to focus on your child's wellness. Talking about ways to improve care and prevent problems helps keep your child healthy.

— Tracking growth and development. We will track how much your child has grown and developed since your last visit (with measurements of height, weight and head circumference), and you can feel free to discuss with us your child's social behaviors, nutrition, sleep schedule, and learning progress.

— Team approach. Regular visits create strong, trustworthy relationships, and are a great way for pediatricians and parents to serve the needs of children. This team approach helps develop optimal physical, mental and social health of a child.

Children have more well-child visits when they are younger because development is faster during these years. And while these visits usually follow a set schedule depending on your child’s age, you should call or visit us any time your child seems ill or whenever you are worried about your baby's health or development.

At the office of Prime Immediate and Primary Care, we will monitor and care for your child to help ensure their good health and happiness while they grow. For more information on our practice and the many services we provide, give us a call today.
