Services

Newborn & Infant Development

Beginning with your baby's first visit (2–5 days old), we track weight, feeding, and developmental cues. Lactation consultants are available at the 2-week visit, and we monitor feeding, sleep, and physical growth at every appointment through the first year.

Adolescent Depression Screening

Mental health is a core dimension of healthy development. Starting at age 11, we administer the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-A) at every annual visit through age 19, creating a consistent, confidential space for your teen's emotional wellbeing.

Developmental Milestone Screening

At every well-child visit from infancy through age 8, we administer a standardized Developmental Screening Questionnaire to evaluate motor skills, language, cognition, and social-emotional growth. Early identification means earlier support.

Autism Spectrum Screening (M-CHAT)

We conduct the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) at the 18-month and 2-year visits — the critical window for early autism identification. Early diagnosis opens the door to interventions that can make a profound difference in outcomes.

School Performance & Behavioral Review

From age 8 onward, we formally review school performance and developmental progress at every visit — discussing attention, learning, peer relationships, and behaviors that may signal the need for referral or additional support.
