Regular physical exams are an important part of keeping your child healthy as they grow. At Pediatrics of Central Florida, with locations in Kissimmee, Orlando, Poinciana/Kissimmee, and St. Cloud, FL, our pediatricians use these visits to monitor development, catch potential health concerns early, and ensure your child is ready for school or sports. Physicals often include a variety of routine tests to get a full picture of your child’s health.
Growth and Development Checks
Every physical starts with measuring your child’s height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). These numbers help us track growth over time and compare them to standard ranges for age and gender. We also check developmental milestones and talk with parents about changes in behavior, sleep, nutrition, and school performance. This helps us understand how your child is doing both physically and emotionally.
Vision and Hearing Screenings
Clear vision and hearing are essential for learning and social development. That’s why most child physicals include a vision test, where children read from an eye chart, and a basic hearing test, which checks how well they respond to different tones and sounds. If results show a concern, we may recommend a follow-up with a specialist for a more detailed evaluation.
Vital Signs and Physical Exam
We check your child’s heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing, just like in an adult physical. The doctor will also examine the eyes, ears, throat, lungs, heart, belly, skin, and joints. These checks help us look for signs of common conditions like asthma, heart murmurs, or scoliosis. In some cases, additional tests may be done based on age or medical history, such as anemia screening or urine testing.
Immunizations and Preventive Care
