Current Environment:

All practitioners at Framingham Pediatrics strongly support adherence to the immunization schedule of the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Below is a summary of Well-Child visits at Framingham Pediatrics. Each well visit includes a complete physical exam, an assessment of your child's growth and development, and "anticipatory guidance" regarding safety and common childhood issues. In addition, your pediatrician will be happy to answer any questions that you may have about your child. Bring a list!

This Vaccination Policy minimizes the risk of your child suffering from preventable illness. During flu season, we also recommend flu shots for all our patients.
