Esse Health Pediatricians are committed to making sure your child grows up healthy.

Sometimes called "check-ups," Esse Health Pediatrics Well Child Visits follow a schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). While Well Child Visits are designed to make sure your child is healthy, if we discover an illness or a problem, we begin taking care of that at the same visit.

You can use these visits to complete necessary school, camp or sports requirements.

Call or text your Esse Health Pediatrics office to schedule your child’s next Well Child Visit today.

Well Child Visit Schedule:

At every check-up, we examine your child from head-to-toe, track your child's growth and answer your questions about your child's health.
