Your First Clinic Visit - Stramski Children’s Developmental Center

Success Story of a Children's Hospital

Diego

A Strong Will + A Birthday Wish + A Dream = Diego's Relentless Perseverance

Your initial visit with a specialist from the Stramski Children’s Developmental Center will begin with a family conference of your child’s current health, medical history and family history because some behavioral and developmental conditions can be hereditary. A clinic visit generally lasts up to an hour and your child’s specialist will need to know of any past operations or major illnesses that your child has had.

Come Prepared

Bring a list of any current medications
Inform the health care team of drug allergies
Write a list of questions that you may have for the doctor
Bring your insurance or referral information
Have a knowledge of family history to share with your child’s doctor

The doctor will then perform a complete physical examination. There may be a need to order certain tests or suggest a procedure to improve your child’s condition. Questions during this time are always encouraged, because it is very important that you fully understand your child’s situation and are comfortable with the treatment plan prescribed.
