Check Overall Health
AGC Pediatrics takes all the necessary measures to ensure that your child is healthy. Your pediatrician will do a complete physical exam. At a well check, we measure height and weight, blood pressure and body temperature. We test hearing and vision as well.
Immunization Booster Shots
Well checks are a perfect time to catch up on your child’s immunizations and booster shots before the new school year. Consult your pediatrician to find out what shots your child needs before he or she goes back to school this fall
Review Behavioral Medication Refills
Many children who are on behavioral ADD/ADHD medication stop taking it in the summer. In order to refill their prescription for school, children must be reviewed. This can be done by your pediatrician at a well check.
Sports Physicals
Many sports start in the fall and require your child to complete a physical exam in order to determine if it is safe for he or she to play the sport. In a physical exam, your physician will check your child’s heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose, and throat. They will also evaluate posture, joints, strength, and flexibility. A well check is a great time to get this exam done!
Allergy Testing
Allergies are common in infants and children. In fact, they are the leading diagnoses of chronic disease in children, according to the ACAAI. Testing for allergies is important, especially if your child is exhibiting any symptoms. Getting an allergy test done for your child before school begins is a great time to be sure your child stays safe at school.
