What to expect DURING a school physical

A school physical involves many tests including, but not limited to, vision, hearing, height, weight and other vitals. Doctors talk about the child’s growth and development and encourages parents to adhere to school physicals and vaccines in light of the many germs, bacteria and illnesses that are present in the school environment. At DOCS Urgent Care in Stamford we not only provide needed school physicals and vaccines but ongoing medical care for your children year-round.

What should I bring to the physical?

It is important to bring along to your child’s appointment, their immunization records and a list of any medications they take. Be sure to bring any school forms the doctor needs to fill out and sign at the time of the physical. If your child requires a specific vaccination at their physical, we highly recommend you call us ahead of time to ensure that we have the vaccine available.
