Our clinic provides comprehensive wellness services for patients of all ages. Preventative care, routine evaluations, screenings, annual exams, immunizations, and lifestyle counseling help detect issues early, support healthy development, and maintain long-term wellbeing.
Preventative care focuses on identifying risk factors before illness occurs. This includes growth and developmental assessments in children, chronic disease risk evaluation in adults, and proactive health planning for the entire family.
Why is preventative care important?
It helps detect potential problems early, reduces long-term health risks, and supports healthier outcomes.
How often should children get preventative visits?
According to pediatric well-visit schedules, typically multiple times in the first years of life and annually thereafter.
Do adults need preventative visits even if they feel healthy?
Yes. Many conditions develop without symptoms.
Management Approach
Routine check-ups monitor ongoing health, track physical and emotional development, and address new concerns. For children, visits evaluate growth, nutrition, behavior, and school-related needs. For adults, they assess ongoing conditions and general health status
