When should I schedule my child's first appointment?
We recommend scheduling your newborn's first appointment within the first week after birth. This allows us to perform an initial health assessment and address any concerns you may have as a new parent.
How often should my child have a check-up?
For the first year, we typically see infants at 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. After the first year, check-ups are usually scheduled at 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, and then annually thereafter.
What should I bring to my child's appointment?
Please bring your child's health card, any medications they are currently taking, their immunization record, and a list of any questions or concerns you may have.
When should I keep my child home from school?
Common reasons to keep your child home include fever over 100.4°F (38°C), vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours, persistent cough, or contagious conditions like conjunctivitis or strep throat.
