What Is A Well-Child Exam?
It is important to get regular well-child exams to ensure your child is growing and developing at a normal rate. A well-child exam helps keep your child healthy by giving us the opportunity to identify hidden issues and prevent additional ones from occurring. We can also suggest ways to enhance your child's well-being by going over any concerns you might have. If you would like to learn more information about how you can stay proactive when it comes to your child's health or to schedule a well-child exam, call Dr. Arun Amaram, a board-certified pediatrician at North Dallas Primary Care Doctors in Frisco, TX.
What Can I Expect from A Well-Child Exam?
An annual physical or well-child exam is a comprehensive checkup of a child's overall health. It includes disease detection, documents whether a child is progressing at a normal rate, and promotes overall good health. Dr. Amaram will check height, weight, blood pressure, and often vision and hearing. Blood and urine samples are taken to test for a variety of conditions, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, cancer, and more. At this time, the stomach will be palpated to check for any signs of abnormalities, such as a tumor. He will also listen to the heart for any signs of heart murmurs or other abnormal activity. The lymph nodes in the neck will be touched to make sure they aren't swollen, which could be a sign of a tumor or other diseases. Any needed immunizations can be given during this visit as well. This is also the time for parents and older children, especially, to bring up concerns about nutrition, sleeping habits, dieting, and emotional and social issues, such as depression or anxiety.

Dr Kamineni is an amazing doctor, she listens to us very patiently and suggests remedies for all our problems and spends good amount of time with us. My last visit was very good with Dr. Suchitra Kamineni. I fully recommend Dr. Kamineni.
I was impressed with his care and interest in my granddaughter’s care. We took her to see him for the flu and it was her first visit. He took time to understand her health history.
