The American Medical Association recommends annual "well" visits. A well visit may be a checkup or a complete exam, and provides an opportunity for you to ask questions and learn more about various health issues. Your health care provider may also order important age-appropriate screenings at this time. Periodic follow-up visits are also recommended for patients who have chronic health conditions.
As your child enters the adolescent years, it is important to keep vaccines current. Annual well visits provide an opportunity to ask questions about adolescent health issues. If your child has any chronic conditions, he or she may be seen more frequently. Please discuss your child's well visit schedule with our physician or nurse practitioner.
