What Goes into a Physical
A physical allows our pediatricians to be able to monitor your child’s development and growth, making sure to pinpoint potential issues right away when early interventions can make a world of difference for the health and wellbeing of your child. Physical examinations allow us to check vital signs, reflexes, and the health of your child’s organs, systems, and body in general. During your child’s physical, we may also administer certain screenings, check to make sure that they are healthy enough for the sport that they want to play this year or administer vaccines to safeguard against certain potentially dangerous infectious diseases.

Children who are dealing with preexisting conditions, as well as children who are taking prescription medications, will need to come in for routine physicals to renew their prescription and make sure health problems are being properly managed.
