Childhood is marked by tremendous growth during the first 18 years of your child’s life. During this period, you want to ensure that your child has regular pediatric care to keep them healthy throughout. That means scheduling regular pediatric well visits, especially during the first five years.
At Nebraska Home Pediatrics, getting pediatric attention is no longer a hassle. Our pediatric well-visit ensures that we track your child’s development milestones, including language development, gross and fine motor skills, and social development. We also conduct school, sport and camp physicals that your child may need.
Why Should You Schedule Pediatric Well Visits
Unlike other doctor visits that happen when your child is sick, pediatric well visits do not involve an ill child. These visits allow you and your child’s doctor to review and discuss your child’s development in all social, physical, cognitive, and emotional areas. Here at NHP, you can schedule urgent care visits if you feel you need to speak to a professional sooner than their scheduled well child check.
We mainly advocate for pediatric well visits because some delays are not always easy to spot. Conditions like autism, speech and other behavioral problems may not be detected until a child starts school. Pediatric well visits ensure that we examine, monitor, and screen your child to help detect these issues and address them as early as possible.
