Well Child Visits
Childhood is a time of rapid growth and change. Children have more well-child visits when they are younger because development is faster during these years.
Each visit includes a complete physical exam where the provider will check your child’s growth and development to find or prevent problems. Height, weight, and other important information will be recorded. Hearing, vision, and other screening tests will be part of some visits.
Even if your child is healthy, well-child visits are a great time to focus on wellness. Talking about ways to improve care and prevent problems helps keep your child healthy.
At your well-child visits, you will get information on:
- Sleep
- Safety
- Childhood diseases
- What to expect as your child grows
Write down your questions and concerns and bring them with you to get the most out of the visit.
Your provider will pay special attention to how your child is growing compared to normal developmental milestones. Height, weight, and head circumference are recorded on a growth chart that remains part of your child’s medical record.
Preventive Healthcare Schedule
A visit with a provider before the baby is born can be particularly important for:
- First-time parents
- Parents with a high-risk pregnancy
- Any parent who has questions about feeding, circumcision, and general child health issues
Recommended visit ages: By 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, 2½ years, 3 years, then each year until age 21.
Sick Child Visits
An appointment with your provider can help ease your mind if something just doesn’t seem right. You should seek medical care if your child is experiencing:
- High or persistent fever
- Any breathing problems, such as fast, labored, or noisy breathing from the chest
- Persistent pain, such as an earache, sore throat, severe headache, or stomach ache
- Eye discharge that is thick, sticks the eyelids shut, and doesn’t get better during the day
Additionally, you may need to have your child seen for:
- Frequent vomiting or diarrhea, not being able to keep down enough liquids, or dehydration
- Vomit or diarrhea that contains blood
- A stiff neck, extreme lack of energy, or illness getting worse for more than 4-5 days
- Exposure to a contagious illness such as mono, influenza, or chickenpox
🌡 Fever
For newborns (under about three months), any fever over 100.4°F can be concerning and requires evaluation. For children three months to three years, a fever higher than 102°F can be worrisome. In general, the symptoms occurring alongside the fever are very significant.

In-House Screening Tests
We offer the following in-house screening tests:
Circumcisions
Whether you’re expecting a baby boy or have just welcomed your new little guy into the world, you have an important decision to make: whether to circumcise him.
For some families, the choice is simple because it’s based on cultural or religious beliefs. But for others, the right option isn’t as clear. Before you make a circumcision decision, it’s important to talk to your doctor and consider some of the issues.
Routine circumcision can be performed in our practice up to 30 days old and is covered by most insurance.
If you decide to have your son circumcised, your pediatrician can perform this procedure right in the office with a local anesthetic using the Plastibell Technique. We utilize an injectable anesthetic (Lidocaine) and acetaminophen is given an hour prior to the procedure.
After reviewing multiple studies, the AAP reports that “the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks.” However, the scientific evidence is not strong enough for the AAP to recommend routine circumcision of all newborn boys. The AAP advises parents to learn the facts and weigh the pros and cons. Talk to your doctor to help you make the choice that’s right for your son.
Sports and School Physicals
These visits may be covered by your insurance company if done in correlation with your child’s annual well visit. If not, there is a fee for this service.
📋 Please bring all paperwork required by your child’s school/daycare or sports team to your visit.
Asthma Program
Asthma can take your breath away. The asthma program at Sunrise Pediatrics can help you get it back.
Our team is committed to providing each patient with a personalized treatment plan and ongoing education to help them manage asthma and live life to the fullest.
Lactation Counseling
New moms need support and information when learning to breastfeed.
Ask your pediatrician about our breastfeeding program — you will be scheduled with one of our providers who are also a certified lactation consultant for a one-on-one breastfeeding appointment to help you and your baby with all of the needed techniques, information, and resources needed to be successful with breastfeeding.
ADHD Evaluation & Management
Children with ADHD need guidance and understanding from their parents, families, and teachers to reach their full potential and to succeed.
For school-age children, frustration, blame, and anger may have built up within a family before a child is diagnosed. Parents and children may need special help to overcome negative feelings.
Mental health professionals can educate parents about ADHD and how it affects a family. They also will help the child and his or her parents develop new skills, attitudes, and ways of relating to each other.
