Your Visit
- Register at the front desk.
- When your child’s name is called, he/she will be weighed and measured. We will get their blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate.
- Your child will have labs drawn or go into an exam room where a nurse or medical assistant will go over the medicines and any problems or concerns you have.
- A provider will be in to see your child.
- The nurse or doctor will write:
- Prescriptions
- Letters

Your doctor may ask you to, or you may choose to, wait in the waiting room for your child’s test results. A person from your child’s care team will talk with you about the test results as soon as they are available.
