What is a well-visit schedule?

Well-child visits are routine check-ups recommended at key ages to monitor your child’s growth, development, and immunizations. We follow the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

Do you still follow traditional vaccination guidelines?

Yes — absolutely and without exception. Our practice follows the vaccination schedule set by the AAP. These guidelines are developed by some of the world’s leading pediatric health experts and are based on decades of scientific research.

We want to be transparent about this: our commitment to the recommended vaccine schedule is not political. It is medical. Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied interventions in the history of medicine, and the schedule is carefully designed to protect children at the ages when they are most vulnerable.

We also understand that in today’s world, it can be hard to know who or what to trust. If you have questions, doubts, or things you’ve read or heard that concern you, we genuinely want to hear them. Our door is open for those conversations — always kindly, always without judgment. Your child’s safety is our shared goal.

Can you provide referrals to specialists?

Yes. As part of Rady Children’s Health, we can connect your child to a wide range of pediatric specialists. If a referral is needed, we’ll coordinate your child’s care to ensure a smooth transition.
