We believe in empowering preteens and their families with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being.

Physical health plays a vital role in the overall well-being of preteens. Our clinic offers a wide range of services to support physical health, including vaccinations, routine screenings, and sports physicals. We understand the importance of preventive care and work closely with our preteen patients to develop healthy habits and lifestyle choices that will benefit them throughout their lives.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are an important part of protecting preteens from preventable diseases. Our knowledgeable healthcare providers stay up to date with the latest vaccine recommendations and administer them in a safe and comfortable environment. We understand that vaccinations can be a source of anxiety for preteens and their parents, and we prioritize creating a supportive and reassuring experience.

Routine Screenings

Routine screenings help us detect any potential health issues early on, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Our clinic offers screenings for various conditions, including vision and hearing tests, blood pressure checks, and cholesterol screenings. By conducting these screenings, we can identify any underlying health concerns and develop a personalized plan for optimal health.

Sports Physicals

If your preteen participates in sports or other physical activities, a sports physical is essential. Our healthcare providers perform thorough examinations to ensure your preteen is physically fit to engage in sports safely. We assess cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal function, and evaluate any potential risks that may impact their participation in physical activities.
