Why Are Wellness Check-Ups Important for Children?
Wellness checks, sometimes referred to as well-child care, are important for the overall health of your child because they allow you, your child, and your pediatrician to discuss important concerns and questions. Our board-certified pediatricians at AGC Pediatrics recommend that parents schedule at least an annual wellness check; however, parents may schedule well-child check-ups whenever any important healthcare questions or concerns arise.
Pediatric wellness checks allow parents and doctors to create a team approach to healthcare, which promotes the developmental, emotional and physical health of the child, and allows pediatricians to learn more about each individual child. Our board-certified team of pediatricians at AGC Pediatrics in Cartersville and Calhoun, Georgia offer you and your child a comfortable, friendly, faith-based pediatric healthcare.

What is a Wellness Check at AGC Pediatrics?
Wellness checks at AGC Pediatrics in North Georgia are the perfect opportunity for parents to discuss any concerns or ask any questions about their child’s health and wellness. Additionally, during a well-child check-up, parents and children may expect:
· Recording of height & weight
· Blood pressure & body temperature check
· Test of hearing and vision
· Urine samples
· Complete physical exam

Following the doctor’s examination, our board-certified pediatricians encourage parents and children to ask any questions.
