Pediatric Services Q & A

What happens at my child’s checkup?

During a pediatric checkup, also referred to as a well-child visit, Family Medicine Specialists of Texas takes a comprehensive approach to assess your child’s health, considering age-specific benchmarks and equipping you with valuable insights for each developmental phase.

For newborns, the first visit should occur within days after leaving the hospital, followed by visits at one month and recurring every few months until age 3. These appointments ensure meticulous monitoring of growth and development, alongside administering essential immunizations.

Starting at age 3, your child embarks on annual well-child visits. In addition, if school mandates a physical, Family Medicine Specialists of Texas efficiently handles all necessary forms and confirms up-to-date vaccinations.

Our focus extends beyond physical health to encompass emotional, behavioral, and developmental well-being. We track age-appropriate milestones and respect your child’s growing autonomy as they mature.

Whether your child is an infant or a young adult, their checkup is a platform to address any inquiries or concerns. Reach out to Family Medicine Specialists of Texas and ensure your child’s comprehensive health journey.

Why do I need to vaccinate my child?

Vaccines stand as a proven, secure, and highly effective shield against severe, potentially fatal childhood diseases like measles, mumps, and whooping cough. While these illnesses have significantly decreased due to vaccination, they haven’t been eradicated entirely.

Prioritizing your child’s health involves adhering to a complete immunization schedule that guards against these diseases. This proactive measure is a pivotal stride toward ensuring your child’s safety and well-being. In today’s digital age, misleading information about vaccines persists. If any doubts regarding vaccines arise, rest assured that Family Medicine Specialists of Texas is dedicated to addressing your concerns. Secure your child’s health – choose vaccination as a cornerstone of their protection.

When do I need to take my child to the doctor if they are sick?

You may have trouble deciding whether you need to take your sick child to see Family Medicine Specialists of Texas or can care for them at home. Most mild illnesses, like colds, improve without treatment from a doctor, and you can usually wait and see when your child has a sore throat or fever, rather than seeking treatment at the first sign of these symptoms.

If you aren’t sure what to do or your child’s condition doesn’t seem to improve, give Family Medicine Specialists of Texas a call. You’ll get a quick response and will tell you what to do or recommend bringing your child in for a sick child appointment. For your family’s convenience, Family Medicine Specialists of Texas offers same-day urgent care.
