We offer a broad range of pediatric services, from prenatal visits to clinical care for patients up to 21 years of age. Kids First Pediatrics offers flexible scheduling for well visits, illness visits and consultations regarding school and developmental issues.

Kids First Pediatrics adheres to the suggested schedule guidelines for well child care as outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

Kids First Pediatrics recommends the following well-visits:

1. Within the first week of life.
2. 1 month of age


3. 2 months of age


4. 4 months of age


5. 6 months of age


6. 9 months of age


7. 12 months of age


8. 15 months of age


9. 18 months of age


10. 24 months of age


11. 30 months of age
*

12. 36 months of age


13. Every year of age

Please note that while we believe a well visit at 30 months of age is appropriate, unfortunately more and more health care insurers no longer pay for this visit. Please check with your health care insurer about your specific plan and benefits PRIOR to scheduling this appointment.*

Kids First Pediatrics is proud to be enrolled in the North Carolina Universal Childhood Vaccine Program. We believe that childhood immunizations are a wonderful example of how preventive care has benefited the health and welfare of our children. In addition, Kids First Pediatrics is equipped to perform basic laboratory tests on site (e.g., Rapid Strep, anemia tests).
