Pediatric Services
Well Child Visits
Well child visits are a vital part of your child’s health care, and they typically follow this schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. During a check-up, we evaluate growth, development, vision, speech and hearing. These visits also provide an opportunity to discuss child safety, nutrition, accident prevention and anticipated changes in behavior and development. During some visits your child will receive immunizations and screening tests of blood and urine.
Additional Services
Well child visits and immunizations are only some of the services we offer at Pediatrics of Arlington. We are well-equipped to handle your child’s needs: everything from newborn care to sports physicals, acute care to chronic conditions. We also offer mental health care, COVID-19 antigen and PCR testing, lactation training, basic contraception, in-house laboratory services, and more.

Our award winning physicians are proud to offer highly personalized care because we truly love caring for kids and their families. We are a team and take advantage of our providers’ backgrounds, experiences, and strengths to provide the best care to each individual patient. Our pediatricians are board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Many of our physicians teach or serve on local medical boards and committees, and are consistently listed as Top Doctors in The Washingtonian and Northern Virginia Magazine.
We practice as a group for your convenience and benefit. This means all the pediatricians at our practice may see your child, however, you also may specify a particular doctor when scheduling well or sick appointments. We work on a rotating call schedule, so you will never be without a pediatric provider should your child have an emergency. We hope you will take a minute to get to know us!
