Well Child Checks – Sherry Nussbaum, M.D., P.A. Pediatrics

Comprehensive Well Child Care in Arlington, TX

Regular Well Child Checks are the foundation of healthy growth and development. At Sherry Nussbaum, M.D., P.A. Pediatrics, we provide thorough, compassionate preventive care for infants, children, and adolescents across Arlington, Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, and Mansfield.

Our well visits are designed to monitor your child’s physical, emotional, and developmental milestones — and to give parents trusted support every step of the way.

Why Well Child Visits Matter

During well visits, our pediatric team:

  • Tracks growth using CDC and WHO growth charts

  • Monitors developmental milestones

  • Provides school and daycare forms

  • Ensures immunizations stay up to date

  • Screens for vision, and mental health concerns

  • Offers guidance on feeding, sleep, behavior, puberty, and safety

  • Builds a long-term relationship with your family

Preventive care helps identify concerns early and supports healthy, confident children.
