Well visits are an essential part of your child’s overall health.

During these visits, we chart your child’s vital information, administer immunizations, and track your child’s development. For more information on what you can expect during the well child visit, simply click on any of the age groups below. You will receive a notification via My Kid’s Chart to electronically complete visit forms prior to the appointment. If you need assistance, please call our administrative staff at 252-364-8790 or send a secure message via My Kid’s Chart. Failure to complete forms electronically prior to the appointment may result in the need to reschedule the appointment.

Vaccines protect children’s health and save lives. Please review our Vaccine Policy.

You will enjoy curling up with your child and reading the books we provide at every well child visit from six months to five years of age as part of our Reach Out and Read program. Reading aloud assists you in bonding with your child and promotes language skills to place your child on a path for academic success.

Dental Health is an important part of your child’s overall health.  Our providers will begin discussing dental hygiene before your child has their first tooth.  Once your child has a tooth, it is recommended that your child receive dental fluoride varnish to help prevent tooth decay.  Please click here for more information on Dental Varnish.

If you’re a new patient and would like to schedule a first visit, we ask that you call our office at 252.364.8790 and our office staff will personally assist you with all of the necessary information.
