The Importance of Well Child Visits

Bringing your little one in for a regular well-child visit at Florida Pediatric Group, serving Melbourne and West Melbourne, FL, to see Dr. Maged Farid, Dr. Ramagavri Rawal, Dr. Mihai Radu, or Dr. Enas Iskander has a number of benefits. We'd like to take a moment to explain some of the main ones.

Check Your Child's Growth and Development 

 At every well-child visit you bring your little one to, a practitioner from our practice will evaluate your child's growth and development to ensure they're on track. Anytime we notice a problem, we'll intervene with advice, provide a referral to a specialist, or supply treatment. 

Detect and Manage Chronic Conditions 

 When you visit our Melbourne and West Melbourne offices, we'll ask you and your child a series of questions and possibly request testing to detect chronic conditions. We can then provide treatment and help your child manage it. This can prevent more major health conditions in the future and help your kid to live their best life. 

If your child has already been diagnosed with a chronic condition, we can ensure the condition is managed properly. When it's appropriate, we can alter their current treatment plan to better manage it. 

Provide Immunizations 

 Immunizations help ward off serious illness in your little one that could lead to severe long-term problems and even death, in some cases. The goal of the vaccine is to prevent or lessen the symptoms of the infection if your child should come in contact with it. We can educate you on the standard schedule and the illnesses and their potential complications. 

Parent Education 

 We provide all the education you need as a parent to take care of your child in the best manner possible. This includes giving you age-appropriate advice for every step of your little one's life. Some of the education we'll give you relates to diet and exercise. We also educate parents on safety protocols, such as the use of car seats. Through good lifestyle habits, your child can be in the best health possible to prevent illness and chronic conditions in the future. 

Answering Questions 

 If you have any questions about your kid's health or wellness, we encourage you to ask. No question is off-limits here because we want you to have all the knowledge possible to do the best for your child.

Florida Pediatric Group, serving Melbourne and West Melbourne, FL, has Dr. Farid, Dr. Rawal, Dr. Radu, and Dr. Iskander available for a well-child visit. We encourage our parents to book regular appointments for all of the above-mentioned reasons.
