FirstMed’s Well-Child Check is a comprehensive medical examination tailored to your child’s unique needs and conducted by devoted, English-speaking pediatricians. Childhood is a crucial period marked by rapid growth and development, and regular pediatric visits are essential to ensure your child’s health and development are on track.
What FirstMed’s Well-Child Check Covers
Well-child checks at FirstMed encompass a detailed and comprehensive health assessment. During this one-hour visit, our skilled and compassionate pediatrician will give you an overview of your child’s developmental progress.
The Well-Child Check includes:
- Review your child's medical history,
- Necessary vaccinations,
- Measuring growth and blood pressure,
- Evaluating vision and hearing,
- Developmental screenings,
- Discussing nutrition and sleep patterns,
- Suggesting further specialist checkups, if necessary.
Age-dependent laboratory evaluations — ranging from iron studies to lipid screening and hemoglobin, as well as blood sugar (glucose) levels with urine tests — also provide insight into your child’s physical well-being.
Furthermore, you can discuss any issues about your child’s behavior, sleep, eating habits, or interactions with other family members.
Overall, the well-child check visit is an essential examination that helps ensure your child’s continued health and well-being.
Well-child checks are beneficial at every developmental phase
As your child navigates through various stages of growth and development, regular well-child checkups act as guiding milestones, enabling proactive health management and timely interventions.
Schedule the well-child visits in these age stages:
- Newborn check
- The first-week visit (1 to 2 weeks old)
- 1 months old
- 2 months old
- 4 months old
- 6 months old
- 9 months old
- 12 months old
- 15 months old
- 18 months old
- 2 years old (24 months)
- From 2 years old: yearly checks.
Regular annual visits to a pediatrician are crucial for a child’s overall well-being and health. These visits help to monitor and ensure proper growth and development, detect any underlying medical conditions or concerns, provide necessary vaccinations, and offer guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Thus, it is highly recommended that children see their pediatrician yearly until they reach adulthood at 18.
