Well-Child & Adolescent Care Exams


A doctor checks a baby's foot

Duck Tales

At one year old, a baby will have a foot half the size of his adult size.

At CarolinaEast Pediatrics, we believe in the importance of regular checkups to keep your child healthy. These appointments provide preventative vaccinations, exams to catch any early health issues, and the opportunity to address any questions or concerns about your child’s development. We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines for well-child visits, which you can view below.

Please schedule well-child appointments as early as possible to ensure availability of the date and time requested.

Recommended Visits

The following schedule for examinations should be adhered to as closely as possible:

  • Newborn: 3 to 5 days

And once every year thereafter for an overall health examination until age 21.
