What happens during well-child visits?

During well-child visits at TRiiBE Medical LLC, friendly providers typically complete the following steps:

Vital signs check

During the vital signs check, your TRiiBE Medical LLC specialist evaluates your child’s weight, height, body mass index (BMI), head circumference in babies, and growth patterns. They also check blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and other vital signs.

Medical history review

The TRiiBE Medical LLC providers review your child’s medical history. This includes past diagnoses or surgeries, medication regimens, current symptoms, and personal and family history of diseases.

Physical exams

During physical exams, your child’s pediatric specialist evaluates their eyes, ears, throat, breathing, heart rate, reflexes, abdomen, and more. They look for signs of illnesses, diseases, and injuries and offer vision and hearing screenings.

Diagnostic tests

Recommended diagnostic tests might include urine testing, blood tests, nasal or throat swabs, X-rays, or other imaging procedures depending on risk factors. They may also suggest psychiatric evaluations or tests that evaluate childhood development. 

Treatments if needed

If your child needs treatment because of an injury, illness, or disease, the experts at TRiiBE Medical LLC are here for them.

Pediatric providers also offer childhood vaccinations and specialist referrals if needed.

When should I schedule well-child visits?

Follow your TRiiBE Medical LLC provider’s instructions about when to schedule well-child visits, as every child is different.
