Appointments

Who Will See My Child at Their Appointment?

Your child will be assigned a colored team. They will have a primary care physician and have the ability to be seen by that physician or the additional physicians & advanced practice providers on their team. This allows more flexibility in appointments so your child has a higher chance of being seen at your convenience. Each team strives to support your family in your health goals for your child.

Well Child Visits

Well child visits focus on helping to maintain your child’s health by monitoring a number of important areas and to identify conditions which may not openly manifest themselves.

Even if your child is not sick we would like to see your child at these stages.
