Appointments
Your child should be seen for a well visit in our office annually. You may schedule the appointment (631-8050) up to three months in advance. We also have a system whereby you may fill out a postcard at anytime with your time and doctor request. You may then either accept or reschedule the appointment time.
Well Visits
Well visit appointments give us the opportunity to track your child's growth, to discuss the past year, to answer any questions or concerns, to examine your child and to make sure that all preventative care is up to date.
All sports, school and camp forms may be filled out if your child has a well exam on record within the preceding 12 months.
The well visit schedule is as follows:
- 2 weeks
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 9 months
- 12 months
- 15 months
- 18 months
- 2 years and annually thereafter
Immunizations
Immunizations are recommended at most visits prior to the age of 2 years.
Sick Visits
If your child needs a sick appointment, please call us as soon as possible in the day. If required, your child will be seen in a timely fashion on the day of the phone call. At Amherst Pediatrics, we make every effort to have adequate time available to see every sick child in need of an evaluation as soon as possible.
School Forms
School forms are starting to become standardized. The schools typically prefer that their own form be used. However, a generic school form is usually accepted and is available at our office or online by clicking here. School physical exams are required annually for sport participation and for all children entering kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 7th and 10th grade.
Camp Forms
Camp forms usually require a physical exam. We can fill out the form if your child has had a well exam in the 12 months prior to attending camp. Please drop off the form(s) as soon as possible. If your child needs a physical exam, please schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
