Why Well Visits Are Important

Newport Pediatrics is staffed by Dr. Samuel Puckett and Dr. Jennifer Sauceman, a team of skilled pediatrician specialists in Newport, TN, who can provide you with many care options. For example, we can help you with wellness visits and ensure your child is healthy and happy.

Assess Physical Development

Your child is likely to hit a variety of milestones as they age, and our team can make sure they're on the right path. Wellness checks gauge how effectively they're hitting each milestone and give you an idea of how well they're maturing to ensure that you fully understand their health.

We'll start by talking with your child, interacting with them, and seeing how well they handle some basic physical tests. From these basic checkups, we can gauge a lot about their health and will do what we can to make sure that they hit the proper milestones for you.

Gauge Potential Concerns

At Newport Pediatrics, Dr. Puckett and Dr. Sauceman can serve as your pediatrician in Newport, TN, to provide you with high-quality support for your little ones. For example, we'll gauge potential issues impacting your child and address them smoothly and efficiently. These may include:

  • Problems with posture that could become a long-standing issue 
  • Scoliosis and other types of spinal problems 
  • Dental concerns that might develop into more pressing worries 
  • Early warning signs of developmental limitations that we can correct 

No matter what problem affects your child, our team is here to help you. We'll make sure that they get the attention that they need, and we'll work with you to make your child's health easier to manage. It's important to us that your child gets the care and attention that they deserve. 

Treat Active Diseases

If your child has an active sickness during their wellness visit, our team will make sure to manage it effectively. For example, if they have cold symptoms or allergies, we'll find a care method that mitigates their intensity. Our goal is to help your little one get through this difficult period. 

Just as importantly, we can help with any checkups needed after their treatment. So, if your child gets treatment for the flu and doesn't seem to get better, you can contact us, and we'll set up another appointment to help them.
