Comprehensive Pediatric Care Services
Zorah Express Medical Care proudly offers a wide range of pediatric services tailored to children at every stage of development, from infancy to adolescence. Among these offerings, well-child visits and sports physicals stand out as key components in supporting both your child’s growth and their participation in sports safely.
- Well-Child Visits
Well-child visits are routine check-ups that help monitor your child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. These visits are an essential part of maintaining your child’s health, from infancy through adolescence. During these check-ups, we assess your child’s developmental milestones, administer necessary vaccinations, and provide guidance on nutrition, safety, and behavioral health. Well-child visits also allow us to detect any health concerns early, which ensures timely intervention and optimal care. - Sports Physicals
Sports physicals (also known as pre-participation physical examinations, or PPEs) are comprehensive evaluations that ensure your child is ready to engage in organized sports activities. By conducting thorough physical exams and reviewing your child’s medical history, we can identify potential risks such as cardiovascular problems, asthma, or musculoskeletal injuries. These assessments help ensure that your child can participate safely, without compromising their health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Care
How often should my child have a well-child visit?
Well-child visits are crucial for monitoring your child’s health and development. The frequency depends on your child’s age and health needs. Infants and toddlers may require more frequent visits, while older children and teens typically need annual check-ups. We’ll help you determine the best schedule based on your child’s individual needs.
When should my child have a sports physical?
We recommend scheduling a sports physical 6-8 weeks before the start of the sports season. This allows enough time for any necessary follow-up care or adjustments to ensure your child is fit and safe for sports.
What should I bring to my child’s well-child visit or sports physical?
To ensure a smooth visit, bring any relevant medical records, including vaccination history and medical history. Additionally, be ready to discuss any specific health concerns or questions you may have about your child’s development or well-being.
Are well-child visits and sports physicals covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover the costs of well-child visits and sports physicals as part of preventive care. However, coverage can vary by plan. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage and any associated costs.
