Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my child need a well-child visit?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends visits at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 months, then annually from age 3 onward. These visits track growth, development, and immunizations.
What vaccines does my child need and when?
The standard immunization schedule covers protection against over a dozen diseases, beginning at birth. Your child's pediatrician follows CDC and AAP guidelines and will provide a schedule customized to your child's age and vaccination history.
What should I do if my child has a fever?
Fever in infants under three months should always be evaluated by a provider. For older children, fever alone is less concerning than accompanying symptoms. Contact the pediatric office if the child appears very ill, is inconsolably irritable, or if the fever is unusually high or prolonged.
