What Is a Well Visit?
Pediatric well visits in Mount Dora, FL, are a form of preventive care for your children. At each appointment, your pediatrician:
- Records height and weight
- Examines musculoskeletal health
- Checks vital signs
- Listens to the heart
- Listens to the lungs to monitor breathing
- Tests reflexes
We will follow an immunization schedule published by The American Academy of Pediatrics to ensure your child receives all recommended vaccinations at their well visit. We can also provide vision and hearing screenings when needed.
Scheduled well visits are more frequent in the first few years of your child's life. As they progress to school age, they should still have a physical each year. Schools can ask for proof from your pediatrician that your children are up to date on all recommended vaccinations and cleared to participate in activities with other kids.
The Importance of Well Visits
Regular physical exams help you and your pediatrician ensure your children are growing as they should and hitting developmental milestones. Preventive visits also help with early diagnosis and treatment of disease, which always produces better outcomes for patients.
Many adults are guilty of only calling a doctor when they are already sick or having a problem. Regularly scheduled visits help kids receive preventive care and get used to their pediatrician. We want to see your whole family comfortable with our doctors and practice to create the good habit of seeing a doctor regularly.
Keeping regular appointments also gives you and your child time with a pediatrician. We encourage you to come to the appointment with any questions you have for a doctor about your child's health and wellness or behavior.
