Well-child visits & vaccinations

Regular check-ups are the heart of pediatrics: this is where you see how a child is growing, where problems are caught before they're felt, and where trust between doctor and family is built.

Visits follow the age-based preventive schedule, and vaccinations are given according to the Greek National Immunization Program, with parents fully informed at every step.

How often should a child have a check-up?

Visits are frequent in infancy and become less frequent as the child grows. The exact schedule is tailored at the first visit.
