What is a Well Visit?
A Well Visit is a visit with your Pediatrician at Happy Kids to assess how your child is growing and developing. These visits assess physical, emotional, and behavioral health, and early identification of health needs. Examinations include height and weight measurements, vital signs, vision, hearing, and developmental screens. These visits are an opportunity to discuss nutrition, physical activity, growth, sleep, mental health, school performance and other aspects of your child’s health.
