Ensure your child is dressed in a comfortable, easy-to-change outfit. Bring extra clothing for potential diaper changes or spills. Items like a blanket, toy, or pacifier can help keep your child calm.

During these visits, your child will receive preventive screenings, vaccinations, and guidance from our healthcare providers. We conduct a thorough physical examination, assessing your child’s growth and development, including their height, weight, reflexes, and muscle strength. Our team will also examine your child’s eyes, ears, heart, lungs, skin, teeth, and gums.

Our newborn and infant visits include a range of services, from newborn examinations within 24-48 hours of birth to six-month check-ups, covering growth, development, vaccinations, and screenings. Throughout these visits, our healthcare providers assess your child’s social and emotional development and discuss their behavior, sleeping and eating habits, and emotional well-being.

During the preschool years, our team focuses on physical exams, growth monitoring, vaccinations, and developmental screenings. We also discuss details regarding nutrition, safety, preschool readiness, and behavior.

As your child grows older and enters school and adolescence, our attention shifts to dental screenings, discussions on school performance, social development, puberty, adolescent health issues, and risk prevention. We also ensure that the necessary vaccinations are administered to protect against various diseases.

Our pediatricians are medical doctors with specialized training in children’s health and development. They begin their roles immediately after your child’s birth, conducting their first examination to assess their overall health, including physical, neurological, and emotional conditions.

Our medical practitioners understand the fragility of newborn infants and their susceptibility to infections and other health concerns. They are equipped with the expertise to recognize and treat these conditions promptly, ensuring your child’s optimal health and development.
