Well-Child Visits
Well-child visits are essential to the overall health and development of any child. Starting after birth and continuing through teenhood, regular appointments should be scheduled at regular intervals to monitor development.
Your pediatrician will evaluate your child’s weight, height and other vital statistics during each visit. Furthermore, these visits may include various screening tests such as vision screening, hearing testing or fluoride varnish applications.
Parents can maximize these appointments by compiling a list of their top three to five questions or concerns about their child’s health before attending. This can allow the doctor to respond more promptly during or after their visit.
Sick Visits
If your child is experiencing symptoms such as fever or cough that do not respond to over-the-counter treatments, such as fever or cough that persist, it’s wise to contact their pediatrician immediately for an appointment.
On sick visits, our doctors will perform a physical exam and order lab tests to help identify the source of your child’s health issue. They may also ask questions regarding behavior, nutrition and safety issues.
Our team of pediatricians offers same-day sick visits as well as telemedicine consultations – so call our office now to arrange one!
Routine Physical Exams
Maintaining good health requires regular physical exams with your primary care doctor to detect potential issues before they develop into serious health concerns that could have lasting impacts on their life.
Your pediatrician will conduct a comprehensive examination on your child during an annual physical examination, reviewing their medical history and performing tests to assess overall health. They may also offer vaccinations based on age or recommended needs.
Your child’s physician will also pose several inquiries about his/her development, behaviors, and habits – this helps establish a close bond between you and their physician as they build an accurate picture of his/her wellbeing.
Vaccinations
Immunizations are one of the best ways to ensure your child remains healthy and protected from serious diseases. Pediatricians at Children?s Primary Care Medical Group offer immunizations recommended by various organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Academy of Pediatrics, Infectious Disease Society of America and Food and Drug Administration.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises all girls aged 9-26 and all boys aged 11-21 receive HPV vaccine at 0, 2, and 6 month intervals. If you believe your child requires this vaccination, ask their physician to arrange an appointment with a CPCMG pediatrician for timely administration of these shots.
On average, primary care providers (physicians or nurse practitioners) interacted with families during well-child visits for 16.3 minutes (variance, 5.6; mean 17.2). Most interactions focused on physical examination and vaccine administration; vaccination issues were raised during 12 visits (13%); other health matters were brought up only 7 times (7%).
Specialty Care
Children?s Primary Care Medical Group provides complete specialty care for your child when needed. Established in 1995, this acclaimed primary pediatric group in San Diego is well respected by both Rady Children?s Hospital-San Diego and their pediatric specialists.
Referrals to pediatric subspecialists may occur for various reasons; advice seeking is typically the primary driver. Over three quarters of referrals were for consultation or shared management only; only a small minority were transferred directly into specialist’s care.
