Yearly check-ups for children and teens under 18. Stay on top of your child's
growth, health, and back-to-school requirements, all with a trusted primary
care provider in Ridgecrest.
California schools require updated vaccines and a physical before the school
year begins, especially for incoming kindergartners and 7th graders.
Schedule now to beat the back-to-school rush.
An annual physical is more than a school-form signature. It's a yearly
check-up to make sure your child is growing, developing, and feeling well,
and to catch anything that needs attention early.
During the visit, your provider will measure height and weight, check vital
signs, review vaccines, and talk with you about diet, sleep, activity,
school, and any concerns you have. For teens, your provider will also
talk through changes during puberty and answer questions privately if needed.
Insurance covers one physical every 12 months from your last visit. The best time to book is when you're due, not when
paperwork is suddenly required for school or sports.
Need to establish care?
You'll need to be an established patient, or willing to become one during
the visit, to schedule a physical. New patient packets are required at
the first appointment.
How to Schedule
Two clinics to choose from.
Schedule an appointment with the clinic that works best for your family.
New patients are welcome at both.
Most schools and youth sports leagues require a sports physical before
your child can practice or compete. It's a focused check-up that confirms
it's safe for them to take the field, the court, or the mat.
During a sports physical, your provider reviews your child's health history,
checks heart and lungs, looks at joints, muscles, and flexibility, and
signs the league or school form when everything checks out.
Sports physical or annual physical? An annual physical covers everything a sports physical does and more.
If your child is due for their yearly check-up anyway, schedule the annual
visit. One visit covers both needs.
What to bring
Your child's insurance card, the school or league sports form, and a list
of any current medications. Wear comfortable clothes that make it easy
to move and stretch.
