Frequently asked questions
It is recommended to schedule your child's first pediatric visit within the first few weeks after birth. This initial visit allows the pediatrician to assess your child's growth, development, and overall health.
During a well-child visit, the pediatrician will measure your child's height, weight, and head circumference, perform a physical examination, provide immunizations if needed, and address any concerns or questions you may have.
If your child is sick, you can schedule a sick visit with the pediatrician to have your child evaluated and receive appropriate treatment. In case of emergency or severe symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
