Babies are seen when they are between 2 and 4 weeks of age. At this visit we focus on baby's growth and making sure baby is eating well.

9 Month Check

At this visit we will check baby's weight, height, and head circumference as well as check baby's iron levels. This is a simple toe prick that allows us to collect a small amount of blood and then analyze the iron levels. It is important to check at this age because now that baby is eating solid foods and, therefore, drinking less breastmilk or formula, they may not be getting the recommended amount of iron. The doctor will discuss baby's eating and sleeping habits and address any concerns you may have as well as go over any new milestones.

5 Year Well Child Check (KPE)

This visit is also known as the Kindergarten Physical Examination. Although most schools no longer require a physical exam before a child starts school, we still recommend it and preform the same tests that were required.  At this visit we will check child's weight, height, blood pressure, vision, hemoglobin (iron levels), and preform a urinalysis. The routine urinalysis is preformed to check glucose levels as well as overall health. Your child will need to give a urine sample when they arrive at the office. You can prepare them by explaining that we can learn a lot by testing someone's urine and that they don't need to be scared because it is just like using the bathroom at home. Only a small amount of urine is needed and we have a special container that fits in the toilet to help those that may be uneasy about urinating in a cup. (A parent is encouraged to help with this part.)
The doctor will discuss your child's eating and sleeping habits and address any concerns you may have as well as go over any new milestones.

At this visit we will check child's weight, height, and blood pressure. The doctor will discuss your child's eating and sleeping habits and address any concerns you may have as well as go over any new milestones.
Dr. Johnson recommends children receive their Tdap vaccine at this visit. In past years, we have seen spikes of children between the ages of 10 and 12 years contracting the pertussis virus (whooping cough). We believe this age group is more likely to get this virus because their last vaccine for pertussis (Dtap) was given at 4 or 5 years of age meaning they are due for their next vaccine. Instead of waiting until 12 years, when schools require children to receive this immunization, Dr. Johnson recommends children receive it as soon as possible (which, for this vaccine is 10 years of age).

Starting at age 11 we like patients to fill out a questionnaire about how they are feeling emotionally. Dr. Johnson takes children's mental health very seriously and believes it is best to start screening for things such as depression and anxiety early in adolescence.
Your child is also eligible to receive the HPV vaccine at this visit and, considering it prevents 9 types of cancer, Dr. Johnson highly recommends your child receive this vaccine. For more information please click the link at the bottom of the page.
