Well, exams are essential for your provider to help you keep up with your child’s health, growth, and development. These visits last 20-30 minutes and are scheduled 4-8 weeks in advance. If canceled the week before or sooner, it may delay your child’s evaluation and immunizations. The wellness checkup is an opportunity to address your questions and concerns and is NOT a sick visit or for injuries or chronic problems such as headaches or ADHD. If you have these concerns, a separate visit will be scheduled.
