Why Well-Child Visits Matter
Children change fast. Health and developmental needs change throughout the school years and adolescence. Regular well-child physical exams give Dr. Saad the chance to see your child consistently over time, building a complete, evolving picture of their health that a single urgent care visit simply cannot provide.
Without routine checkups, health and developmental concerns can go undetected for months. Hearing problems affect learning. Vision issues affect school performance. Developmental delays are far easier to address when caught early. And vaccinations given late leave children unnecessarily vulnerable.
Age-Based Well-Child Visit Schedule
Well-child exams are recommended at specific intervals by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Here is what to expect at each stage of your child’s development.
School Age (10–12 Years)
Visits at: Annually from age 10 onward
- School physicals and sports physicals for NJ programs
- ADHD and learning difficulty screenings
