Routine health evaluations in children begin with a history and physical examination.

Preventive health screening in children varies greatly with age. Our testing recommendations should be considered as minimum screening guidelines for those without symptoms. There may be differences in opinion on various test recommendations, due to lack of definitive information on each recommended test, and to variances in perceived significance of some of the supporting literature. This information is provided as a general guide only. We urge you to discuss these tests with your personal physician.
