Well-Checks vs. Sick Appointments
The Difference Between Well Checks and Sick Appointments
All well checks (physicals) include a complete physical exam. This exam includes a developmental evaluation, health, weight, hearing and vision screens, blood pressure and scoliosis checks, a neurological exam and an update of immunizations. The well check also involves discussions regarding your diet, sleep patterns, and safety and behavioral issues.
Depending on your age, we may check for anemia and perform a urine screen. For adolescents we will discuss high-risk behavior, sexuality, peer pressure, school related issues and depression. If you would like us to sign any sports, daycare or camp forms, a well check has to be done every 12 months.
