At every age, your child has unique physical, emotional and developmental needs. UW Medicine partners with Seattle Children’s Hospital to meet those needs through our wide range of specialized services. An important part of your child’s care experience is finding the right pediatric specialist. When choosing a provider, think about what qualities matter to you. Then ask your child’s pediatrician, your primary care physician and people you respect for recommendations.

Recommended for kids of all ages, routine well-child care visits help maintain your child’s good health. Visits include a complete physical exam to monitor your child’s growth and development, update immunizations and find or prevent health problems.
