Well Child Visits
Also known as "Check Ups" or "Annual Physicals"
The biggest source of fear and trepidation that children have with the doctor’s office is usually associated with the unknown of what to expect - “AM I GOING TO GET A SHOT?!” being the number one question - so we created this page dedicated to helping inform children of all ages what we typically do for well visits at every age
Below are the standard well visit ages, along with the vaccinations and screening protocols recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, so you and your child can be prepared for each visit.
Vaccines are listed in green
each line indicates one injection (with the exception of Rotavirus which is an oral vaccine)
an asterisk (*) indicates a vaccine that may be offered either 1) during a specific time of year (such as influenza) or 2) require a certain eligibility (such as Beyfortus or Meningitis B) that will be discussed with the provider at your visit
Point of Care blood tests or "finger pokes" are listed in grey
These basic screening tests are run in house, so you will have the results before the end of your visit
Please note that we do not do venous blood draws at our clinic - abnormal results may lead to an order for bloodwork to be drawn at a traditional lab
Surveys or Questionnaires are listed in blue. These will be sent to you via Phreesia as part of the pre-visit check in process.
