Frequently Asked Questions

When should I schedule my first appointment?

For newborns, the first appointment should be 3 to 5 days after birth. For older kids, we’ll need medical records before scheduling a well visit. Please call us to schedule an appointment. Alternatively, you can also schedule an appointment online.

How often should my child see the pediatrician?

Your child should not only see the pediatrician for an illness. It is also important to schedule well-child-care exams regularly, beginning in infancy. Also called well-baby or well-child visits or checkups, these routine examinations provide the best opportunity for the doctor to observe the progress of your child’s physical and mental growth and development; to counsel and teach parents; to detect problems through screening tests; to provide immunizations, and to get to know one another. Well-child visits are strongly recommended as part of preventive pediatric care. At this exam, we will check your child’s growth and development in order to find or prevent problems. We will record your child’s height, weight, and other important information. Hearing, vision, and other screening tests will be part of some visits.

Well-child visits are also a good time for parents to raise questions and concerns about a child’s development, behavior, nutrition, safety and overall well-being.

We recommend this schedule for routine well-care visits:
• 3 to 5 days (Usually 2 days after being discharged from the hospital)
• 10-14 days (“2 week check-up”)
• 1 month
• 2 months
• 3 months
• 4 months
• 6 months
• 9 months
• 12 months
• 15 months
• 18 months
• 21 months
• 24 months
• 30 months
• 3 years
• 4 years
• And once every year thereafter for an annual health supervision visit that includes a physical exam as well as developmental, behavioral, and learning assessments.
