Why does my child need a check up??

Preventive Healthcare in Pediatrics

Your child's health is important and as their pediatrician we want to support your goals as a parent for raising healthy kids.  Children develop rapidly and as they change it is important to understand their physical, mental and social well being and development.  Your pediatrician is trained to screen for and address any potential delays and provide resources to support the healthy growth and development of your child from infancy through adolesence.  At WingHaven Pediatrics our goal is to have an emphasis on prevention over treatment.  Our expectation is that parents and caregivers will work with us on this goal by making and keeping preventive appointments. We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics Bright futures schedule of preventive visits.  If you want to know more about that schedule of visits click here.
