Dr. Right

Count on comprehensive care from pediatricians and family medicine doctors who are specially trained in the health needs of babies, children and teens.  

Well-child visits or check-ups

Well-child visits (sometimes called check-ups) are planned appointments for you and your child with their doctor. Well-child visits help the doctor monitor growth and development, update immunizations and screening tests, and find or prevent illnesses.

The most important component of a well-child visit is the relationship between your child and their doctor. At UW Medicine clinics, we work hard to ensure that you will have continuity with your chosen pediatrician over the years as your child grows. 

Additional pediatric care options and resources:

Specialty pediatric care

At every age, your child has unique physical, emotional and developmental needs. When part of your child’s healthcare experience includes pediatric specialty care, we can help. Our pediatric clinics have specialists for a variety of needs, including pediatric allergies. You’ll also find specialists at the Center on Human Development and Disability. Your pediatrician can also partner closely with Seattle Children’s Hospital for an array of additional services.

Guidance on when to seek care

Injury or illness in children can be scary, but knowing how and when to react is key for 1) their health and 2) your peace of mind. UW Medicine partners with Seattle Children’s Hospital to ensure kids receive the right care when and where they need it. Read on to find out what you can do at home and when you need to call or see the doctor.
