Pediatric Care in West Chester Township, OH

One practice for your kids and the rest of the family

At Beckett Ridge Family Medicine, every one of our providers sees patients of all ages. That means your children can see the same practice you do, with one phone number, one patient portal and one team that knows your family's history.

For busy families in West Chester Township, Liberty Township and Mason, having siblings and parents at the same office can make scheduling simpler. It also helps your provider understand how health concerns run in your family.

Growing up with the same practice

We have cared for families in this community since 1995. When a child grows up with the same practice, their provider gets to know their history, their personality and what's normal for them. That continuity can make it easier to notice changes and to talk about sensitive topics as your child becomes a teenager.

As teens get older, we help them take more ownership of their own health, from understanding their medications to learning how to describe symptoms and ask questions. When they become young adults, they can keep seeing the same team.

Well-child visits

Well-child visits are regular checkups when your child isn't sick. They're a time to track how your child is growing and developing and to answer your questions. A typical well-child visit may include:

• Height and weight, tracked over time
• A physical exam
• Questions about development, learning, behavior and school
• Conversations about sleep, eating, physical activity and screen time
• A review of the immunizations recommended for your child's age
• Safety topics that fit your child's stage, from car seats to driving

Your provider will tell you when your child's next checkup is due. If your child plays sports, ask whether a sports physical can be scheduled at the same time.

Sick visits for kids

When your child is sick, you want them seen by someone who knows them. Call us during office hours. Depending on symptoms, we may offer a same-day appointment with an available provider. Common reasons children come in include:

• Fever, cough and cold symptoms
• Sore throat or ear pain
• Stomach upset, vomiting or diarrhea
• Rashes and skin infections
• Minor injuries, sprains and strains

Ongoing concerns

We also help children and teens with ongoing issues, such as allergies, headaches, skin conditions, and stress, anxiety or low mood. If your child needs a specialist, we'll help coordinate the referral and stay involved in their care.
