At Refuah Pediatric Associates, our multilingual staff places great emphasis on
preventive care, as well as diagnosis and treatment of illnesses to ensure that every child reaches
adulthood in good health.
Even if they are completely healthy, children must see their
pediatricians on a regular, set schedule. Through a combination of strict adherence to this schedule
(see below), as well as thorough preventive health education for both parent and child, the Refuah
pediatric team ensures immunization timetables are met, and health issues are avoided, if at all
possible.
To help maintain your child's health, we recommend regular appointments for physical
exams with a pediatric provider at the following ages:
2 weeks
4 months
12 months
2 years
1 month
6 months
15 months
2 ½ years
2 months
9 months
18 months
once a year, ages 3-18
The Refuah pediatric staff will make every accommodation to sick
children. The result is less anxiety for both parent and child, as well as reduced incidence of siblings
passing illness to one another.
