Our Pediatric Care Services

Well-Child Visits and Annual Check-ups

Regular check-ups are essential to monitor your child's development and ensure they are meeting all milestones. During well-child visits, our pediatricians conduct thorough exams, evaluate growth, and provide guidance on healthy habits. These visits are crucial for keeping track of your child’s physical, emotional, and social development. The well-child visit typically includes:

  • Physical Exam: A complete assessment of your child's overall health, including weight, height, and developmental progress.
  • Screenings and Developmental Assessments: Regular screenings for conditions like hearing or vision problems, lead poisoning, and developmental delays.
  • Preventive Health Advice: Guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep habits, and overall well-being.
  • Mental and Emotional Health Check: Assessing your child’s emotional and mental well-being to ensure they are adjusting well socially and academically.

Immunizations

Immunizations are a key component of pediatric care. Vaccines protect your child from serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases. At Canton Medical Clinic, we follow the latest immunization schedules and provide all routine vaccinations for your child, including:

  • Routine Childhood Vaccines: Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), polio, chickenpox, and more.
  • Flu Shots: Annual flu vaccines to protect against seasonal influenza.
  • Catch-up Vaccinations: For children who may have missed prior vaccines, we offer catch-up immunizations to ensure they are protected.
  • Specialty Vaccines: Based on your child’s health history, we may recommend additional vaccines, such as the HPV vaccine or the meningococcal vaccine.

Chronic Disease Management

For children with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or allergies, we provide ongoing care and management. We work closely with families to create an individualized treatment plan that helps manage symptoms and improves your child’s quality of life. This includes regular monitoring, medication management, and lifestyle adjustments to keep your child healthy.
