A New Well Child Check is a patient that is new to our facility and has never been seen at our offices or by our providers. A well-child visit is when you take your child to the doctor to make sure they’re healthy and developing normally. This is different from other visits for sickness or injury. A complete history during the well-child visit includes information about birth history; prior screenings; diet; sleep; dental care; and medical, surgical, family, and social histories. A head-to-toe examination will be performed, including a review of growth.
