Well Child Visit
Routine Check Ups

Slocum Dickson Pediatrics is committed to keeping your children healthy. An important part of maintaining good health is routine well child visits. At these visits, we perform a head to toe assessment and examine your child’s growth and development, as well as, discuss age specific health, behavior and safety issues. This is also an opportunity to share any concerns you may have regarding your child’s health. Our providers look forward to providing a medical home for your children.

Policies

  • A parent or legal guardian MUST accompany the patient to ANY and ALL well visits. This is necessary for effective communication between the provider and parents/guardians.
  • If your child is being seen for a well visit and you have a concern about a chronic problem or a behavior or learning problem, we may ask you to schedule another appointment in order to better evaluate and treat that problem.
