Our pediatricians at the Child & Adolescent Clinic, serving Longview or Vancouver, WA, and the nearby region, provide care when your little one is ill, but we're also available for preventative care at a well visit. We can then detect problems early, set your child up for a lifetime of health, and more.
Detect Issues Early
During your child's well visit in Longview or Vancouver, WA, we'll ask questions, take your kid's weight, height, and vitals, and possibly order further testing. Through our examination, we can determine if your little one has a chronic health concern, behavioral issue, or developmental problem.
We can then intervene early to prevent complications and ensure your child lives their best life. Early detection usually means your child needs the least invasive/intense treatment method possible.
Let's say your child has a developmental delay. We can recommend ways you can help your little one and may refer you to a therapist to further assist your kid in reaching their full potential.
Supply Preventative Care
At your little one's routine pediatric visit, we can administer the necessary vaccinations for your child's age; these work to prevent illness and serious complications from the infection it protects against. Even if your kid happens to contract the illness, if they do have any symptoms, they're usually only mild.
Your tot will remain in the game, whether it's hockey or basketball, or on the stage because they'll get sick less often. Not to mention, they'll remain in that desk for more days.
Not to mention, at your child's visit, we'll educate you on the best methods to care for your little one to optimize their health. For instance, we'll recommend a healthy eating plan to help with weight management and to ensure your youngster receives all the nutrients they need.
Remain Compliant With the School's Policies
While each school's requirements vary, your district will want your child to be up-to-date on all their vaccinations. They'll also request that your child receive health screenings at certain ages.
If you don't obtain the necessary health screenings for your child if they're in a brick-and-mortar school or participate in an online program, the school holds the right to exclude them until they're compliant.
There could also be legal issues for you if you don't get your child the care they need.
Getting your tot the care they need is as simple as giving the Child & Adolescent Clinic, serving Longview or Vancouver, WA, and the neighboring communities, a call to schedule. Once your child's visit is over, we'll even help you keep on track with future visits by scheduling for the next one.
