As soon as a few days after babies leave the hospital, they should begin going to the doctor for regular visits to receive immunizations and evaluations of their growth and development. Children should continue to follow a well-child visit schedule until they are 18. These visits are essential, as they let us know if your child needs further medical treatment. They also provide parents with peace of mind! At Canadian Valley Pediatrics in Yukon, OK, our friendly, relatable and knowledgeable team provides children throughout all ages and stages of life with these well-child examinations to ensure they grow up strong and healthy.

At a well-child visit, children will be weighed and measured to ensure their growth is on the right track. We will assess your child to insure they are reaching developmental milestones, such as moving independently, speaking, and being potty-trained, at a normal rate. If needed, they will be given the proper immunizations.

During the adolescent years, preteens begin screening for depression and other mental health disorders, as well as for alcohol and drug use. At these visits, your child may be referred to a specialist, if necessary.

Immunizations are essential for your child's health, and are often required to go to school. Vaccines are safe and effective for preventing children from receiving and spreading deadly diseases. 

Important vaccines we provide include:

• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis A
• DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis)
• TDaP (tetnaus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis)
• Hib (Haemophilus influenze type b)
• IPV (polio)
• PCV15 (pneumococcal disease)
• Meningococcal vaccine
• RV (rotavirus)
• HPV (human papillomavirus)
• Varicella (chicken pox)
• MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
• Flu (every year after six months of age)

Our staff will keep track of the vaccines your child needs and when so that you can stay on schedule and be proactive about your child's health!

ADD is now referred to as ADHD, which stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is characterized by three qualities: inattention, impulsiveness and hyperactivity. These qualities must be pervasive in your child's life to be diagnosed with ADHD. A lot of younger children have trouble concentrating or sitting still when they find the task at hand boring. But if your child doesn't seem to listen, is constantly daydreaming, can't seem to sit still, and talks very often, he or she may have ADHD, and this can negatively impact their social life and education. 

At Canadian Valley Pediatrics, we can diagnose ADHD through a screening, and then we provide a treatment plan. Treatment can involve medication, but often it doesn't have to. Rather, making adjustments to your child's lifestyle can be helpful. Making sure they are getting exercise, sleeping regularly and eating healthily can help manage symptoms of ADHD. In addition, behavioral therapy can help your child learn to control his or her impulsiveness or spaciness.

Symptoms of asthma in children include shortness of breath, chest pain, wheezing, frequent coughing, and recurrent bronchitis. Our team can test the strength and quality of your child's breathing to make an accurate diagnosis as to if he or she has asthma. We can prescribe a medication that your child will take everyday to reduce symptoms. In addition, we prescribe an inhaler for when your child's asthma flares up and he or she is having trouble breathing.
