Well care visits help us track your child’s growth and development, including milestones, social and learning behaviors, as well keeping up with immunizations. The well care visit appointment schedule is as follows:

• Annually after three years old

What happens during a well care visit?

In addition to tracking your child’s development, routine wellness exams also help build a comfortable, meaningful, and long-lasting relationship between your child and their pediatrician. The first three years of your child’s life are filled with changes, rapid development, and growth. Our well care visits help your child stay up to date with examinations, vaccinations, physical and emotional development, and more. Well care visits include:

• Physical examinations
• Evaluation of medical history
• Basic developmental screenings
• Nutrition counseling
• One-on-one time to discuss behavior, sleep, feeding, and other parental concerns
• Routine vaccinations

We recommend preparing questions for your pediatrician before your appointment to ensure they are answered during your visit.

Vaccinating children is among the single most important health-promoting interventions performed by healthcare providers and that you can perform as parents and caregivers. All Rochester Regional Health pediatricians and nurses follow the routine vaccination schedule determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

We encourage pre-teens and teens to take an active role in their health care journey. Engaging adolescent patients in emotional, psychological, and social challenges while providing the tools they need for their continued well-being is one of the many ways we help teens through the exciting and change-filled years.

Our pediatricians help your teen address challenges including:

• Acne and other skin issues
• ADHD and ADD
• Anxiety and depression
• Asthma
• Autoimmune disorders
• Behavioral issues

Our pediatricians are happy to provide detailed information to your teen's school or program regarding:
