What happens during pediatric care appointments?

During your child’s appointment at La Providence Pediatrics and Family Clinics, you can expect the following:

Vital sign check

When your child arrives for the appointment, providers check their weight, height, head circumference (in babies), pulse, temperature, and other vital signs.

Medical history review

The La Providence Pediatrics and Family Clinics team reviews your child’s personal and family medical histories. They ask about past diagnoses and surgeries, current symptoms your child might have, and medications they take. The providers might complete developmental screening to assess your child’s growth and development.

Physical examination

During a comprehensive physical examination, your child’s pediatrician evaluates their eyes, ears, throat, heartbeat, breathing, and more to detect or rule out signs of a medical problem. They might also assess your child’s vision and hearing.

Diagnostic testing

The pediatrician may suggest that your child undergo diagnostic testing if they have signs of an illness or disease. Examples include urine tests, blood tests, allergy and asthma testing, nasal or throat swabs, X-rays, or other imaging procedures to diagnose or rule out possible health problems.

Treatment as needed

If your child has an illness, injury, or disease, their La Providence Pediatrics and Family Clinics provider might recommend they take medications, get plenty of rest and fluids, eat a healthy diet, make other lifestyle changes, use an inhaler, or wear a cast or brace because of an injury. The team offers immunizations to reduce the risk of disease.
