What is a well visit?

Regular well visits are essential even when your child isn't sick, allowing us to build a complete medical history and address any health issues promptly. At each well visit, we conduct a thorough physical exam, assess your child’s developmental milestones, and administer any necessary vaccines or immunizations. Of course, well visits are important for parents, too! Please write down any questions you have ahead of time, so we can answer them for you.

Early detection and prevention

Every child goes through stages of rapid physical development as they grow. Well visits are a key tool used to detect and prevent health issues along the way — because the sooner we can detect any developing issues, the better chance we have of treating them successfully.

This face-to-face time with your Healthy Kids provider is also an ideal opportunity to ask questions, discuss any concerns, and get age-appropriate advice to guide your child through the next set of milestones and beyond.

How often should your child have well visits?

Your child grows quickly in their first two years of life, so you will have more well visits during this time. The first visit is usually scheduled within a few days of birth and then repeats regularly, transitioning to annual visits as your child ages. You should never skip a well visit, even if your child seems healthy at the time.
