Why should you take your child for all of their wellness checkups?
- Prevention. At Heritage Pediatrics, our first line of defense is prevention.
- Tracking Growth and Development. It is always is exciting to see how much your child has grown in the time since your last visit. We want to encourage you to talk with Dr. Ruffin about your child’s development and progress. Don’t for the bring your milestone card.
- Raising Concerns. Make a list of topics you want to talk about with Dr. Ruffin, such as development, behavior, sleep, eating, or getting along with other family members. Bring your top three to five questions or concerns with you. We would love to problem-solve with you.
- Heritage Approach. All of our patients are our family. We want to build a strong relationship with your child and you as their parent. We are believers that it takes a village, and we want to be an active part of yours.
