We enjoy caring for children starting at the time of birth, whether they are delivered by us or by another physician. During the first year of life, frequent visits are necessary to detect problems, insure normal growth and development and administer basic immunizations.
In addition, we recommend an annual physical exam between ages 2 and 5. Children between ages 5 and 18 should have a school physical every 3 years.
We generally see older children for pre-school, camp, athletic physicals, and other school examinations at appropriate intervals. In addition, we see children for acute illness and injury. Additional checkups should be scheduled according to the child’s individual health care needs.
