Routine visits are scheduled at specific stages of your child’s life.  Below, you’ll find the schedule, along with the recommended immunizations, tests, and procedures. At times, however, we may
vary from this schedule based on your child’s personal needs
and development.

Frequently asked questions

Speciality Care & Services

How do you diagnose and treat ADHD?

Every child develops differently, but signs like trouble focusing, impulsivity, or difficulty managing emotions can sometimes point to ADHD. If your child’s behavior is affecting school, friendships, or daily routines, it may be time for an evaluation. You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re always here to discuss any concerns with you.

Speciality Care & Services

How do I schedule a behavioral health visit?

You can schedule a behavioral health appointment online or by calling our practice. Our team will help match your family with the right provider and make sure you get care quickly — whether it’s a first-time evaluation or ongoing support.

Speciality Care & Services

Do you screen for anxiety and depression?

Mental health is healthcare! We do screen for anxiety and depression, especially as our patients enter their teenage years.  Symptoms can look different in every child, so our providers ask age-appropriate questions and screening tools during well-visits to ensure your child is fully supported. If needed, we create a personalized care plan that may include behavioral strategies, therapy, and, when appropriate, medication management.  If you ever have any concerns in between well visits, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on the patient portal. We’d always rather discuss your concerns - via messages or an in-office appointment - rather than let your symptoms go unaddressed.

Speciality Care & Services

What pediatric services do you offer?

We offer comprehensive pediatric care across all ages: from newborns to teens. That includes well and sick visits, immunizations, growth & developmental screenings, school and sports physicals, behavioral health support, and chronic condition care like asthma and allergies. We also partner with urgent cares, imaging, and other specialty services to ensure your child always has the care they need.

Speciality Care & Services

Do you provide routine check-ups and vaccinations?

We perform routine well-child visits (physicals) and vaccinations on the American Academy of Pediatric’s recommended schedule. From newborn weight checks to annual physicals, your care team is here to ensure your child stays on track with preventive care.

Speciality Care & Services

What vaccinations do you provide?

We provide the full schedule of vaccines outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). 

At Bluebird Kids, our mission is to provide exceptional care so every child can thrive. Keeping children healthy and safe is our top priority, and vaccinations are one of the best ways to protect your child from serious illnesses. Vaccines also help protect our community, especially those most at risk including infants and children with chronic conditions. 

To keep your child up-to-date, book an appointment now.

What’s the schedule for well-child visits?

We follow the American Academy of Pediatric’s recommended schedule: frequent early visits, then annual visits around each birthday. These visits include growth, developmental, and mental health screenings.

You can book your child’s well-visit today online or by calling.

Speciality Care & Services

How do I get a copy of my child’s immunization record?

The simplest way to receive a copy of your child's most recent immunization record is to request a copy from your pediatrician. In some cases, you may also be able to request a copy of this information from the state vaccine registry, Florida Shots. However, if your child received vaccines most recently in another state, you should contact that state's immunization registry.

And of course, if we’re your current pediatrician, reach out via the patient portal and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Speciality Care & Services

Do you screen for ADHD, autism, or developmental delays?

Yes, we do. As part of our comprehensive approach, we regularly screen for developmental milestones, autism, and ADHD during well visits. We use evidence-based screening tools and, if needed, work closely with behavioral health specialists to build a personalized care plan for your child.

If you ever have any concerns in between well visits, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on the patient portal. We’d always rather discuss your concerns - via messages or an in-office appointment - than let you go down an internet rabbit hole.

Speciality Care & Services

Do you offer sports physicals and camp physicals?

Yes! We do offer sports physicals and camp physicals. You can book an appointment online or by giving us a call today. We do recommend making an appointment as soon as you know you’ll need one, especially during the summer when we’re a little busier. 

Speciality Care & Services

Can you refer us to a specialist if needed?

Yes. If your child needs care beyond our office - whether it’s a cardiologist, dermatologist, therapist, or another specialist - we’ll help coordinate the referral and make sure you have everything you need.

We’re happy to be your first stop and ongoing partner, even if your child needs support from a broader care team.
