Well Child Visits

Plano TX Pediatrician The first two years of your child’s life are marked by amazing growth and development, and it’s important for your pediatrician to monitor them closely. That’s why there are so many scheduled visits within the first 24 months. At 3 years of age, pediatric visits become annual until age 21.

At A Bright Future Pediatrics in Plano, Texas, our doctors will assess the physical, mental, behavioral, social and emotional growth and development of your child at each visit, as well as check vision and hearing. We will be on the lookout for any developmental delay or disability, as early diagnosis and treatment can lessen the impact on your child and family. In addition, our doctors will listen to your questions and provide age-appropriate counseling on topics such as safety and injury prevention, discipline, nutrition and exercise, learning and education and much more.
