At The Bay Pediatric Center, we believe that well child visits are very important in addressing potential health concerns, keeping children properly protected against diseases, and discussing normal and unusual behaviors.
 
Below is our routine well child check schedule.  Surprisingly, some insurance companies do not place an emphasis on well child care and do not cover immunizations or well child visits.  If this is the case with your insurance company, there are immunizations available for your child at no cost through the Vaccines for Children program.  Please check with your insurance company if you are not certain whether immunizations are covered so that you can participate in Vaccines for Children at your child's well child checks.
