Additionally, your newborn must have received the Vitamin K injection.
No, although most families form a relationship with their provider and prefer to see them on a regular basis. We do encourage families to meet a couple providers so you have a “team” approach to your child’s care in case your preferred provider is unavailable.
No, both locations essentially function as one practice with one linked computer system. Some of our providers see patients at both locations and some see patients at only one location.
Absolutely! Preventative care is an essential component of your child’s health. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a well visit (also known as a physical or well care) every year.
Your child’s well care visit will count as their sports physical. Please bring all necessary completed paperwork to your appointment. Don’t forget your child’s glasses, as a vision test is part of the sports physical requirements. Schedule ahead of time to avoid the rush!
