The American Medical Association recommends annual "well" visits yearly. A well visit may be a checkup or a complete exam, and provides an opportunity for you to ask questions and learn more about various health issues. Your health care provider may also order important age-appropriate screenings at this time. Periodic follow-up visits are also recommended for patients who have chronic health conditions.

Our routine health maintenance visit schedule follows the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine guideline for children.

For non-urgent referrals: when one of our doctors refers you to a specialist, please schedule your appointment with the specialist and then call our referral coordinator in our office within two business days of your appointment.
