The Importance of Well-Child Visits

Pediatric Healthcare Associates and Dr. Mary Strength are here to provide the care that your child needs to stay healthy. For example, we can give your little one well-child care checkups in Waxahachie, TX, to make sure we track common issues and keep them healthy and strong.

Track Developmental Concerns 

As your child grows and matures, we need to make sure that they’re developing properly. Our team can check out their development to make sure they’re coming along at a good rate. If there are any sort of delays, catching them early will usually allow your child to get more effective help and avoid the problems associated with a delay remaining undetected.

Catch Vision and Hearing Issues 

Did you know that many little ones struggle with school and social skills because hearing and vision issues aren’t caught quickly enough? During each of our visits, we’ll give your child a variety of tests to make sure that they’re developing properly and don’t need help with vision or hearing.

Understand Mood Swings

Does your little one have mood swings or seem to be depressed or upset often? Well, they might have some problems that might include emotional control issues or even pain. It’s important to talk with our team about these issues during your meeting to ensure they get help.

Provide Immunization

Pediatric Healthcare Associates with Dr. Strength can schedule immunizations during your well-child care visit. Waxahachie, TX, parents can also contact us to learn more about common misconceptions related to vaccinations.

Get a Sports Physical 

When your child gets a little older and is ready to compete in school sports, a physical can help make sure they’re ready. Our team can spot potential issues with their gait or other concerns to get them ready to go on the field.

Manage Behavior Concerns

Some children learn proper behavior patterns at an early age, while others struggle. For example, they may lash out at you when angry or even hit their siblings. Don’t tolerate that behavior, but let us know about it in a well visit so we can figure out what’s going on here.

Spot Acute Concerns

An acute problem is a condition that might affect your child suddenly and temporarily, such as a cold or flu. If your little one is experiencing problems like these, a well visit can help you better understand your treatment options.
