WELL-VISITS

18-23 Month Well Visit

What to Expect

At this visit, growth, nutrition, and development will be assessed. Screening for Autism is done through a series of questions called the MCHAT. Vaccines might include Hepatitis A and any catch up vaccines. An Influenza vaccine will be offered depending on availability. 

If necessary, screening for anemia and lead exposure will be performed with a finger stick in the office. The hemoglobin results are immediate, however the lead results take a week. You will be notified of any abnormalities and results are published to your portal. If you have questions or don’t see results after the test is performed, please call our office. 

A spot vision test will be performed at this visit to screen for early signs of vision concerns. 

Oral health is important in maintaining strong teeth. Fluoride varnish is available for application in the office.
