What should I expect during pediatric visits?

Vital signs check

Generations Family Practice providers assess your child’s weight, height, body mass index (BMI), growth patterns, temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs.

Medical history review

Pediatric specialists review your child’s lifestyle habits, personal and family medical history of disease, symptoms, and medications.

Physical exam

Your child’s provider evaluates their development and psychological health and wellness, as well as their eyes, ears, throat, breathing, reflexes, heartbeat, and more during a physical exam. They check for signs of injuries, illnesses, diseases, and developmental delays.

Diagnostic testing and treatment

If your child is at risk of a health problem or has signs of one, their provider could recommend a nasal or throat swab, urine test, blood test, in-office X-rays, allergy or asthma testing, or other diagnostic tests as needed. Specialists offer vision and hearing screenings as well.

They may recommend lifestyle changes, dietary supplements, medications, injections, vaccinations, fracture care, or other treatments.
