Well Visits
Well visits should be made at the recommended ages of 1-2 weeks old, 2 months old, 4 months old, 6 months old, 9 months old, 12 months old, 15 months old, 18 months old, 2 years old, and then every year after that. We recommend calling at least one month in advance to schedule your child's well visit, other than the specific situation of a newborn well visit (ie, the 1-2 week old visit).
The purpose of a well visit is to monitor the child's growth patterns and screen for any physical exam findings, vital signs, lifestyle issues, or other information that may indicate developing health or developmental issues. Immunizations are reviewed to make sure they are up to date, and if necessary screening labwork or radiologic studies are ordered. Minor issues may be addressed at a well visit, but issues that require greater discussion require a separate visit. If the apparently secondary issue is of greater acuity than the well visit, it may be the well visit that the family is asked to reschedule.
