Physical Exams & Yearly Health Check

We recommend that our patients visit us each year for an annual physical exam or “check-up.” Our annual exam visits are a wonderful opportunity for our physicians and nurses to perform a complete physical examination. Our caring pediatricians will conduct each part of the exam with warmth and understanding, making each visit as comfortable as possible.

The Benefits of Annual Physical Exams for Children

During your annual exam, your primary care physician will check and discuss your child’s health, growth and development. It is also a time for us to:

• Update family medical history
• Review your child’s medical history & immunization status
• Provide age-appropriate safety information & health education
• Perform screening of your child’s growth, emotional & social development
• Check blood pressure, vision & hearing
• Laboratory screening
• Risk factors related testing
• Other indicated evaluations

As you can tell from the above list, these visits are comprehensive and we take this part of our job very seriously!
