Does My Child Need to See a Pediatrician?

A child should see their pediatrician for regular well-child visits, immunizations, and physical exams that help track their growth and development. Your child's first visit with a pediatrician should take place a few days after coming home from the hospital. Babies should also see their pediatrician at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months for regular checkups and to stay up-to-date on all recommended immunizations.

Older children should see their pediatrician at least annually for well-child visits. Your child may need a school or sports physical to participate in activities with other kids, and you should call Pediatric Specialists of Tulsa whenever your child gets sick. If you are ever concerned your child may be experiencing a developmental delay or behavioral issue, we can help evaluate their development and help with a referral to a specialist if needed.
