What should I expect during my child's walk-in appointment?
In most cases, your child's walk-in appointment begins with a physical exam. If you're there for a routine exam or sports physical, your doctor checks your child's height, weight, and vitals and discusses their medical history and overall health.
If your child has symptoms of an underlying condition, your doctor performs the necessary tests to provide the most accurate diagnosis. In addition to physical exams, Pediatric Associates, Inc. also offers advanced imaging and lab tests at the nearby diagnostic centers.
After your child's examination, your doctor determines the right treatment to restore your child's health. To learn more about walk-in appointments, call the office today. Alternatively, you can request nonemergency appointments online.
