We’ll measure and discuss your teen's weight and height.
We plot those numbers on the growth chart to give you a visual of how he’s changing from visit to visit.
Your provider cares about percentiles, and how they compare to previous visits. We’re looking for consistency. The actual numbers for weight and height are less important.
Nutrition
We'll discuss tips for mealtime success and ensure your teen is meeting their daily nutritional requirements through a variety of foods.
Development
We'll measure your teen's blood pressure.
As your teen gets older, their provider may give your teen an opportunity to talk to them privately.
This helps develop trust so that your teen knows they can turn to their provider with any questions or concerns in the coming years.
Everyone develops differently and at their own pace. That being said, if there’s anything you’re worried about, please bring it to our attention. See something, say something!
Physical Exam
Our examination includes a lot in a short amount of time. Please ask questions if you have them! All questions are good questions, and we want you to be involved in your teen’s care.
Vaccines
No vaccines are routinely given unless its flu season!
