Well-Child Visits at
The Piedmont Clinic
From tiny toes to teenage growth spurts — regular checkups keep your child healthy, on track, and thriving every step of the way.
Healthy Kids Start with Consistent Checkups
Kids grow fast. One minute they’re babbling and crawling — the next they’re slamming doors and eating everything in sight.
Well-child visits are the rhythm that keeps their health on beat.
They’re not just about shots and measurements — they’re a chance to track development, prevent problems, and answer all those “is this normal?” questions.
Whether it’s your baby’s first visit or your teenager’s back-to-school physical, we make sure your child’s health journey is guided, not guessed.
What is a Well-Child Visit?
A well-child visit is a scheduled checkup designed to monitor your child’s overall health and development as they grow.
It includes:
A full physical exam
Growth and weight checks
Developmental milestone tracking
Vision and hearing screenings
Age-appropriate immunizations
Behavior and emotional health check-ins
Parent Q&A time for anything on your mind
Each visit is tailored to your child’s age — from newborn to young adult.
When Should You Schedule Them?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends visits at:
3 to 5 days old
1 month
2 months
4 months
6 months
9 months
12 months
15 months
18 months
2 years
2.5 years
Annually from age 3 through 21
It sounds like a lot — but it’s spaced out for a reason. These visits help us catch anything early and guide each new stage of growth.
Why They Matter (Even When Kids Seem Fine)
Children don’t always show symptoms when something’s off. A well-child visit can uncover:
Early signs of developmental delays
Hearing or vision issues
Emotional struggles
Nutritional concerns
Family or school-related stress
And just as important — it builds trust between your child and their doctor. That relationship can make future care easier, faster, and less stressful.
What Makes Our Approach Different
We don’t do rushed 10-minute visits.
We take time to connect — not just diagnose.
That means:
A welcoming space where kids (and parents) feel safe
Honest, age-appropriate conversations
Real answers to your parenting questions
Personalized care built around your child, not checklists
