Annual exams are important–even when your child is healthy.
Starting at birth, regular provider visits and immunizations are important. After age 2, your child should have a health exam each year, during which the pediatrician or family medicine practitioner will:
- Review your child's developmental milestones.
- Ensure that your child receives all needed immunizations.
- Provide age-appropriate screening tests, such as blood pressure and vision tests.
- Perform any needed laboratory tests such as a lead poisoning check.
- Explain the results of any tests and procedures.
- If treatment is necessary, explain the options thoroughly.
- Answer your questions.
- Make referrals to specialists if needed.
- Record the care your child received.
These routine well-care visits can also provide parents with information about their child's development, as well as guidance on parenting practices.
