Pediatrics is a medical specialty that deals with children from birth to age 16. If you’re looking for a pediatrician in Vevey, our pediatric team provides comprehensive, child-specific care. Pediatricians have both curative and preventive aims, while working closely with general practitioners and other medical specialists to ensure the best possible medical care.
Our pediatrics department offers various types of consultations for children’s health:
From birth to late adolescence, we offer regular, once-a-year follow-up of your child. During these check-ups, the pediatrician will monitor the growth, development (physical, cognitive, emotional and social, language, sensory and motor) of your son or daughter. He or she will also answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Depending on the recommendations of the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and after discussion with the parents, a vaccination may be carried out. We also monitor your child’s health record, making sure that vaccinations and screenings are up to date.
The key times for preventive check-ups are 1,2,4,6,9,12,15, 18 and 24 months. Thereafter, every 1 to 2 years (3,4,6,10,12, and 14 years).
