Peak Vista provides pediatric care for children from birth through adolescence (ages 0 – 18).

This includes:

• Children who need routine checkups.
• Children who are sick or have health concerns.
• children who need immunizations, school forms, or sports physicals.
• Families who need guidance, resources, or follow-up support.

Why This Matters: Knowing where your child can receive care helps your family take the first step with more confidence.

Parents and caregivers can schedule a pediatric appointment by calling Peak Vista’s Customer Service Center.

You can call whether your child is new to Peak Vista or has been seen here before. If you are not sure which location, service, or visit type your child needs, our team can help guide you.

If your child is new to Peak Vista, we may ask for:

• Your child’s name and date of birth.
• Parent or guardian information.
• Insurance information, if available.
• Your child’s health history.

Note: Bring what you have. If you do not have everything, Peak Vista can help explain what may still be needed.

Routine pediatric care helps your child stay healthy as they grow.

Routine care may include:

Peak Vista may help families understand next steps, such as scheduling a visit, using nurse guidance, or seeking another level of care when appropriate.

Your child’s first visit helps the care team learn about your child’s health and your family’s questions.

The visit may include:

• Reviewing your child’s health history.
• Talking about current concerns.
• Checking growth and development.
• Reviewing vaccines.
• Completing a physical exam.
• Creating a plan for follow-up care.

Why This Matters: The first visit helps your child’s care team understand where to start and what support may be needed.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to ask questions during pediatric visits. No question is too small if it helps you understand your child’s care.

You can ask questions like:

• How much sleep can my teenager get?
• How can I get my 2-year-old to brush their teeth?
• My child is having a hard time focusing in school. What could that mean?
• Is my child growing and developing as expected?
• What vaccines does my child need?
• How can I help my child with stress or big emotions?
• What should I do if my child’s symptoms come back?
• When should we schedule the next visit?

Why This Matters: Asking questions helps your family feel informed and involved in your child’s care.

Your child’s care team may look different depending on your child’s age, needs, location, and appointment type.

Pediatricians have special training to care for babies, children, and teens. They understand how children grow, develop, and change over time.

Family medicine providers can also care for children. They may be a good fit for families who want care for the whole family in one place. They can also help older teens as they move from pediatric care to adult care.

Your child’s care may also include support from nurse practitioners, physician assistants, behavioral health providers, dental providers, or other care team members when appropriate.

Availability may vary by location and care need.

Why This Matters: Understanding your child’s care team can help your family choose the care setting that fits your child’s needs.

• Ask about insurance or Medicaid.
• Learn what documents may be needed.
• Ask about programs that may lower the cost of care.
