We understand the importance of school physicals, also known as well-child visits or back-to-school physicals, in ensuring that children are healthy and prepared for their academic and extracurricular activities. Our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive evaluations that support your child’s health and readiness for school, from preschool through high school.

We offer children urgent care to evaluate health through every stage of their school years. For preschoolers (ages 3-5), we assess growth, development, and school readiness, including vision, hearing, and immunizations. In elementary school, biennial check-ups monitor growth, nutrition, and health, with a detailed 6th-grade physical addressing puberty and middle school preparation. During middle school, biennial exams focus on growth and emerging health concerns, and an 8th-grade physical prepares students for high school with an emphasis on adolescent health. For high schoolers, we monitor overall health, mental health, and sexual education, culminating in a 12th-grade pre-college physical for readiness.

Special Considerations:

• Children with chronic health conditions may need more frequent check-ups, and our providers are equipped to manage and support these needs.

• Our team offers immediate attention for any acute illness or injury, ensuring your child’s health is promptly addressed.

• We collaborate with parents to determine the most suitable schedule for physicals, tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Many schools mandate physical exams before enrollment or sports participation, particularly in kindergarten, sixth, and ninth grades. Parents should verify specific requirements with their child’s school, as they can vary by district. Regardless of mandates, maintaining a routine of annual or biennial physicals at our practice ensures ongoing monitoring of your child’s health, growth, and development. 

Our dedicated healthcare providers begin the school physical by reviewing your child’s medical history, including any past illnesses, injuries, surgeries, allergies, or ongoing medical conditions. We also consider your family’s medical history to identify any potential hereditary concerns that might need attention. During the physical examination, we measure vital signs such as height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse to evaluate your child’s growth and development against age-appropriate standards. We conduct vision and hearing screenings to identify any impairments that could impact learning or social interactions.

Our thorough physical assessment includes checking the heart and lungs with a stethoscope to detect any abnormalities, as well as gently palpating the abdomen to identify any tenderness or swelling. We also assess reflexes, muscle strength, and joint flexibility to ensure your child is developing properly. To keep your child protected, we review immunization records to confirm they are up to date with school-required vaccinations. If needed, we can administer any additional vaccines during the visit.

We also take the opportunity to provide health education, emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep. We address any health concerns you or your child may have, such as mental health, behavioral issues, or social challenges at school. Our team is ready to offer guidance, resources, or referrals to specialists for further evaluation or treatment if necessary.
