Annual well visits (ages 3 years and older)

Annual wellness visits help us monitor your child’s:

• Growth and development

• Physical and emotional health

• Nutrition

• Vision and hearing

• Immunizations

• Recommended screening blood work

These visits are essential for keeping your child healthy and identifying concerns early.

Preventive well visits (birth through adolescence)

Preventive care begins the day your baby is born. If requested, one of our pediatricians will visit you and your newborn in the hospital and begin caring for your baby from day one.

During infancy, babies are seen frequently throughout the first and second years of life to closely monitor growth, feeding, development, and immunizations. After age 2, visits become less frequent, and once children reach the appropriate age, annual well visits are recommended.

Regular preventive visits are one of the most important parts of your child’s healthcare. They allow us to identify developmental, behavioral, or medical concerns early so that prompt intervention can be provided, giving your child the best opportunity for healthy growth and development.

Getting your child cleared for the season shouldn't be a last-minute scramble.

Dr. Desai's sports physicals include a complete cardiac, respiratory, and musculoskeletal screening to make sure your young athlete is ready and safe to play — following NYC DOE and NYSPHSAA pre-participation guidelines. We complete all required forms the same day, so you walk out ready for tryouts, not waiting on paperwork. We recommend booking at least two weeks before the season starts, especially during the busy back-to-school months.
