Safety first during your child’s well-visit
Our sites are open, ready, safe
Many parents have put off in-person visits to the pediatrician because of the COVID-19 crisis. But the safety measures we put in place at all of our facilities at the beginning of the crisis are still in place now. Your safety is our first concern.
Well visits look at more than just physical health
A pediatric well visit is more than just evaluation of your child’s physical health. It’s a valuable personal interaction that will also include:
- Conversations about your child’s mental, social and behavioral health
- Screenings
- Conversations about your child’s diet, sleep, bathroom habits, school performance and risky behaviors
- Blood work
- Immunizations
*Note: No waiting period is required between the COVID-19 vaccine and your child’s routine immunizations.
