Well Child Visits

What is a Well Child Visit & What are the Benefits?

Well child visits are full examinations that are used to evaluate your child’s growth and development at regular scheduled intervals. We also address your child’s medical history and any current concerns.

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics we require patients to stay up to date on their wellness visits, this allows us to ensure your child is on track with their growth and development and build a relationship with your provider. Wellness visits are also used to check for any abnormalities or any alarming concerns that need to be addressed. We discuss milestones and what to expect in the coming months in terms of developmental steps and help guide you through your child's developmental stages. If there are any concerns and questions these are also addressed during the visit.

Sick Visits

What Is A Sick Visit?

A sick visit is typically an appointment scheduled with Well-Rooted Pediatrics because of the onset of an acute issue with the child. Common ailments that lead to an acute visit include fever, headaches, sore throat, flu symptoms, vomiting, coughing, ear aches, skin rashes, quick onset of abdominal discomfort, injury, infections, among others.

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics we do our best to accommodate same day sick visits. If a same-day is not possible or not necessary we can offer established patients advice for care until we are able to see your child. The best course of action is to call us in the morning, or as soon as you begin to notice symptoms, that way we are more likely to get you in for an appointment that day. We will also direct you to visit a local urgent or emergency care if we feel that it is the best route for your child’s health.

At the sick visit we will work to diagnose your child’s injury or illness as well as recommend various treatments options from holistic or natural options or to more advanced treatments if necessary. Well-Rooted Pediatrics can provide you with school notes as required to excuse children from school due to illness.

Adolescent Medicine

What Is Adolescent Medicine?

Adolescent medicine is the primary care that addresses issues related to pre-teen and teenage years into young adulthood. The providers at Well-Rooted Pediatrics are trained in caring for children into and beyond this time in their lives. We have an in-depth knowledge of problems that arise during this timeframe and an understanding in how to effectively treat adolescents.

Some of the different problems that arise during adolescence include growth and development, hormonal changes, abdominal distress, eating disorders, acne, headaches, problems with bone health, mood disorders, weight changes, teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, addiction, and disorders affecting the reproductive system.

Adolescents, or children over the age of 10 should be seen in our office annually, or more often if there are specific ailments or issues that are affecting the pre-teen or teen. In addition, they can continue to be seen as they grow into adulthood at our Functional Clinic and Women's Health Clinics.
