What should I expect during pediatric home visits?

During pediatric care visits at Robertson Pediatrics, compassionate providers will come to your home at the scheduled time and offer the following:

Vital signs check

Your provider weighs your child, checks their height, and evaluates head circumference (in babies and young kids), body mass index (BMI), and growth patterns. They also assess blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and other vital signs.

Medical history review

During a medical history review, your provider asks about your child’s medication regimen, medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle habits.

Physical exam

They also complete a physical exam to evaluate your child’s overall health and wellness. They assess their eyes, ears, throat, abdomen, heartbeat, reflexes, breathing, and more. If your child needs a school or sports physicals, they can help your child with this as well. 

Laboratory testing

If your child requires lab testing, Robertson Pediatrics offers point-of-care tests and mobile lab access to obtain blood tests, urine tests, tissue swabs, biopsy procedures, and other diagnostic tests. These tests help detect or rule out possible medical problems. 

Treatment

Robertson Pediatrics can also help if your child needs treatment for any reason. The practice offers in-office medications/treatments, electronic prescriptions, and access to subspecialists that improve your child’s health and reduce the chance of complications.

When should I schedule home visits?

Schedule home visits for your child if you have concerns about your child’s growth, development, or physical and mental health, and would like to be seen within the comfort of your home. Whether they get ill, become injured, need a school or sports physical, or are due for a routine wellness checkup, Dr. Sammy is readily available to see you at home.
