New patient visit, child

A new patient visit for a child involves a physical examination of your child with a doctor you have never seen before. This visit offers you a chance to meet a new physician and discuss your child's health and wellness goals. The doctor will ask you about your child's medical and developmental history and will ask about the lifestyle, medications, and any allergies your child has. A new patient visit can be focused on a specific problem or may be an opportunity for your child to have a complete physical and wellness examination.
