Health Tip of the Week Your child’s pediatrician plays a key role in keeping your child both physically and mentally healthy. At first, when your child is an infant, you see the doctor every few months. As kids get older, though, you may only see the pediatrician once every year during an annual well visit.
Well visits often last less than 20 minutes, so it’s important to maximize the time spent with your pediatrician. No matter how old your kids are, being properly prepared for annual well visits is a great way to ensure you get the most benefit out of that limited time.
So just how should you plan ahead for your appointment? To find out, we spoke with pediatricians at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Primary Care, HighPoint location in Chalfont, PA. Use this check-up checklist to make sure you’re covering the bases with your doctor every year.
