Primary Care and Physicals for Children and Adolescents
As your child gears up for school or prepares to play sports, they may be required to have a physical exam in order to participate. But physicals aren’t just necessary to get your child in the classroom or on the field – they’re also an important part of preventing injuries and illnesses from occurring in the first place.
As the top pediatrician Pittsburgh has to offer, Dr. Kevin Wong and his team at PT Family Medicine frequently perform school physicals and sports physicals for children and teens. Our practice focuses on preventative care, which seeks to catch signs of illness and potential injury early instead of waiting until your child is sick or hurt to provide treatment after the fact.
If your child is in need of a physical before they attend school, college, or athletics, we’re here to help. Schedule your first appointment with PT Family Medicine, and we’ll get your child on the right track toward a healthy future.
