Children’s Health℠ Primary Care Centennial Pediatrics Frisco

An important part of giving your baby a good start in life is specialized care to protect their health from the beginning. Our newborn care and services include:

• Comprehensive newborn physical exam, including hearing screening, weight measurement, jaundice check and other screenings

• Guidance on how to properly care for your new baby, with handouts and hands-on education

• Breastfeeding support with lactation nurses throughout the community

• Ongoing well-baby checkups

• Postpartum depression screenings for mothers

Did you know? Regular well-child visits are one of the most important ways to keep your child healthy. At these visits, you also have the chance to discuss any questions or concerns about your child’s growth, development and overall health.

For well-child checkups, we follow the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for preventive pediatric health care, with screenings, vaccinations and other services, including:

• Immunizations for vaccine-preventable illnesses, including many for international travel

• Screenings for hearing, vision, anemia, cholesterol, scoliosis, autism spectrum disorder and developmental delays

• Mental health screenings for depression and anxiety

• Preparticipation physicals for school, sports and camp

• Nutrition counseling

When your child is sick, it’s comforting to know that help and advice from our pediatricians are just a phone call away. With same-day sick visits Monday through Saturday, your child can start to feel better quickly.

We also offer walk-in urgent care appointments for established patients at our Frisco location. You can bring your child in from 8 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you have questions about your child’s health, call our office. We’ll ask you about your child’s symptoms and schedule a sick visit based on their health needs. Please call as early in the day as possible so they can schedule a same-day visit, if needed
