Throughout the 1st two years of life and yearly thereafter, we will schedule your infant/child for a routine well visit. Generally, unless a special request for a consultation visit is made, 15 minutes is allocated with the provider in addition to the 5-10 minutes with the nurse before and after the provider visit. Because so much of that time spent with the provider is taken up with the physical exam, discussing developmental milestones, and in anticipatory guidance, it is important for the remaining minutes to be spent judiciously with the important questions you may have. We encourage parents to make an organized list of their most important concerns. Should important concerns or medical issues arise that require more time, a follow-up visit or consultation visit will be arranged. In this way, parents and patients scheduled behind your visit will not have to wait for extended periods. The links on our Resources page and our excellent phone advice nurses can address many generalized infant and child concerns.
