The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children, ages 18 and younger, have an annual wellness visit with their pediatrician. Amanda Shoubaki, DO, states, “Having a wellness visit is a lot like an oil change and having a 21-point inspection on your car. As Pediatricians, we use this visit to offer a head to toe assessment. It’s a great time discuss behavior concerns, vision screenings and discuss immunization needs.”

Dr. Shoubaki and the pediatricians at South Central are committed to the wellness of all children in our region. Watch our HealthBreak segment with Dr. Shoubaki to learn more about Pediatric Wellness Visits.
