What should I expect?
Well exam visits are a history and physical exam generally checking on physical, emotional and mental development.
Why are they necessary?
Well visits check height and weight and all that jazz but it is so much more than that. Well visits are our key to becoming a team in your child's health. They are also a great time for you to bring up any questions or concerns you have regarding your child's health and well being.
