WELL CHILD VISITS
Well Child Visits allow you and your LCPeds provider to monitor the progress of your child as they advance from the newborn time period to young adulthood. We get to know you and your child during these visits and we monitor many things including growth, development, emotional health, school progress, chronic disease management, safety, and more. We give routine, recommended vaccines during these visits and perform screening tests and surveys to make sure your child is growing and developing appropriately. We value the relationships we build with our families during well visits and we rely them to strengthen our partnership to effectively treat your child during illness as well.
