How often will my child need Well Visits?

Our physicians follow the AAP guidelines for routine child care and immunizations. We recommend your first office visit be within 2 to 3 days of discharge from the hospital. Your child’s weight will be checked approximately 1 week later or as needed. Routine visits then begin at 1 month of age followed by 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months and 24 months. After that, your child should be seen at least every year for a routine exam.

If emergency care is needed, we have physicians on staff at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, St. Louis Children’s Hospital, and Anderson Hospital.

Your child’s pediatrician will receive a faxed copy of the phone triage the next morning.
