A Message Regarding Physicals........
The
Pediatric staff of the Canandaigua Medical Group wish to encourage
you to schedule
physical examinations for your children for school, sports, camp
and other requirements here at the office.
The
office physical examination is comprehensive and thorough. We
use this opportunity to elicit and discuss any of your child's
health concerns as well as performing the examination and reviewing
any findings with a parent. We also review lab and immunization
requirements and update your child as needed. Most insurance's
cover one physical examination yearly. In comparison, the examination
your child receives at school is brief and there is no opportunity
for input from the parent/guardian.
We
encourage you to schedule your child's physical examination with
one of our pediatric health care providers at your earliest convenience.
- We
can accommodate requests for physical's within 1 to 3 weeks
at this time.
- A
parent or guardian is required to sign consent for all immunizations.

New
York State requires a physical examination prior to entrance
into kindergarten, then in 2nd, 4th, 7th, and 10th grades.
If your child participates in sportsor goes to camp yearly physicals are required.
Our
pediatricians recommend yearly physical examinations
for all patients so that we may be familiar with
your child and we can keep up to date records.

A Message to Kindergarten
Parents....
As
September approaches, your child will be seen for a kindergarten
physical. The Canandaigua Medical Group would like to take this
opportunity to explain what is involved with a kindergarten physical.
This may help you, as a parent, and your child, prepare for the
appointment ahead.
New
York State Law requires that a parent or legal guardian sign
for a child (under the age of 18 years) to receive immunizations.
Therefore, we do ask that a parent or legal guardian bring the
child to the appointment. It would be helpful if you brought
your child's immunization booklet with you to the appointment.
You can read about each immunization that your child will receive here.
You will need to be familiar with the information and be prepared
to sign for them at the time of the physical.
The
appointment will take approximately one hour. Due to the length
of the appointment and the need for your child's undivided attention,
we ask that you try not to bring siblings to this appointment.
If
you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact
our Canandaigua office at 393-2860 or our Farmington office at
924-2030.

Schools
have different dates after which they accept kindergarten
physicals. This list will help you determine when to
schedule your child's appointment.
