Childhood is a time of rapid growth and change. Your child will have more pediatric well-child visits when they are younger and developing the fastest. Each visit includes a complete physical examination. At this exam, the health care provider will check the infant or child’s growth and development to find or prevent problems.
The health care provider will record your child’s height, weight, and other valuable information on a growth chart. Hearing, vision, and other screening tests will be part of some visits.
Even if your child is healthy, well-child visits are important because it is the right time to focus on your child’s wellness. Preventive care is important to keep children healthy. Well-child visits are key times for communication. Make the most of these visits by writing down important questions and concerns to bring with you.
Hospitals and Specialists
Our office will negotiate managed care referrals for emergency room services or to specialists. Proper timing is required to obtain a referral.
If a patient requires admission to a hospital, we recommend admission to:
All Children’s Hospital – St. Petersburg
Morton Plant Hospital – Clearwater
Mease Countryside Hospital – Clearwater
St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital – Tampa.
Depending on individual needs and insurance requirements, please call us for proper procedures for admissions to hospitals and appointments with specialists.
