The Importance of Regular Pediatric Check-Ups During Adolescence

With Dr. Jeffrey Cabotaje and Dr. Elizabeth Wollensak, Pediatrics Unlimited can provide the kind of adolescent care that residents of Oak Park, IL, can trust to keep their little ones safe. We work hard during assessments to ensure we give your child the attention they need. Here’s why you can’t skip these tests and what we’ll do to ensure they go smoothly for your needs.

Assess Physical Health 

 The first thing we’ll do for your child is assess their current physical health using various metrics. For example, our doctors gauge their height, weight, reflexes, and other milestones to ensure they’re at the right level. With the help of our team, we’ll figure out if there’s anywhere your child is falling behind and will work hard to make sure that they catch up ASAP.

Manage Chronic/Acute Health Issues

 When your little one experiences chronic or acute (occasional) health issues, such as scoliosis (chronic) and colds (acute), it's easy to feel despair. When you visit us regularly, we'll check them for these problems and treat them appropriately to keep them healthy.

Track Emotional Changes 

 Our team at Pediatrics Unlimited, with Dr. Cabotaje and Dr. Wollensak, can provide the kind of adolescent care that Oak Park, IL, children need to stay emotionally strong. As they age and experience more complex and challenging emotions, they'll change. With our help, they can understand their needs, avoid falling behind their peers, and feel stronger and healthier.

Gauge Social Development 

 Emotional health isn’t quite the same as social development, and it’s important to remember that your child needs support on all fronts. For example, they can be perfectly emotionally healthy but have difficulty interacting with their peers: shyness, aggressiveness, whatever. Our checkups will ensure they mature safely and minimize potential long-term problems.

Provide You With Peace 

 As a parent, you deserve to know that your child is healthy and safe. Even if we spot something with your child during our visit, knowing something is wrong can help you feel better. After all, diagnosis is just the first step in treatment, and by working with us, you can give your precious bundle the healing TLC that they deserve to grow up healthy.
