What Is a Well-Check Exam?
Taking your child to the pediatrician or family doctor when they're healthy is just as important as taking your child to the doctor when they are ill. A well-check exam, also known as a well-care, well-baby, or well-child visit focuses on maintaining your child’s health and is a time to discuss preventive care.
