SouthCoast Health: Schedule your child’s annual well-check now before busy back-to-school time

Monday, June 10th, 2024

SouthCoast pediatrician on the importance of your child’s annual well-checks

Annual wellness exams are critical in maintaining the health and happiness of your child, and knocking these out at the beginning of the summer versus at the end avoids many potential problems.

“Our offices become so hectic at the end of the summer when school is about to begin again. Because of this we always encourage parents to bring their kids in at the beginning of the summer to avoid the back-to-school rush,” SouthCoast Health pediatrician Dr. David Mozer said. “This also ensures the child and parent have more quality time with their pediatrician and gives parents peace of mind through summer months usually filled with lots of travel.”

Check out these four main reasons the proactive approach is best.

Schedule an appointment (Well Baby/Child) with a SouthCoast pediatrician today
