Your child should have regular health supervision visits for the purpose of keeping track of his/her general health and growth. Our suggested frequency of these visits are as follows:

We generally see your new born baby two to three days after they are discharged from the hospital. This may vary if the mother had a cesarean section which may be in a week.

• First six to seven months- monthly then every two months till age one
• Age one to age two- every three months
• Age two- every four to six months
• Age three- every six months
• Age four- every year this time onward

The scheduling of clinic visits coincides with the vaccination schedules. From time to time, upon the doctors discretion, this is modified to fit the needs of the child and the family.

It is emphasized that the parent should be aware of their insurance coverage. Though wellness and preventive care is ideal, your insurance coverage may have limits. Be aware of this. At times, in order to maximize your child's care, it may require some personal expenditure. Think of it as a worthy investment. It is your child. We will do everything to help you bill your insurance but in the final end, the balances incurred are your responsibility.

Health supervision visits include the following:

• A frank discussion of your child's physical and mental health.
• A discussion of where your child is on the growth chart and development.
• Your observations and concerns on your child should be discussed.
• A complete examination of your child made by the provider/doctor. Voice your observations and questions.
• Immunizations given and laboratories done in the clinic or laboratory.
• Hearing and vision when indicated.
• A comparison and review of your child's wellness from the last visit.
• Instructions concerning your child's care, diet and recommendations to optimize your child's growth and development.
• A discussion of your child's grade level in school, emotional development, school performance, ability to relate to others/friends and his/her parents and siblings.
