Pediatric Care Rooted in Family Medicine

At Southern Primary Care, pediatric care is part of how we care for families. Our providers take the time to get to know your child, your family’s health history, and the concerns that matter most to you. That continuity means the provider who sees your child for a checkup in the spring already knows their history when a fever hits in the fall.

It’s the same personal approach behind all of our primary care services: long-lasting relationships, care plans built around real needs, and a team guided by our values. The American Academy of Pediatrics stresses the importance of continuity of care in children’s preventive health, and that kind of ongoing relationship is exactly what a family medicine home is built to provide.

Comprehensive Pediatric Services for Every Age

Children’s healthcare needs change constantly, from rapid growth in the early years to school requirements, sports seasons, and the changes that come with adolescence. That’s why Southern Primary Care offers a full range of pediatric services to support your child’s health and development at every step.

Well-Child Checkups and Immunizations

Regular well-child visits allow our providers to track your child’s growth, development, and overall health over time, and to catch potential concerns early, when they’re easiest to address. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends more frequent well-child visits in the first years of life, followed by annual checkups. During a well-child visit, your child’s provider may:

Measure height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) to track healthy growth
Check developmental milestones and talk through behavior, sleep, and nutrition
Perform age-appropriate screenings, such as vision and hearing checks
Review your child’s vaccine record and give any recommended immunizations
Answer your questions and share guidance for the months ahead

Staying on schedule with vaccines helps protect your child from serious illness and keeps them ready for the classroom. Georgia requires proof of immunization for children attending child care, pre-K, and K-12 schools, and our providers can help make sure your child is up to date.

Sports & School Physicals

Whether your child is heading back to school or starting a new sports season, our providers offer physical exams to meet school and athletic requirements across Georgia, including:

Georgia Form 3300: Required when a child enrolls in a Georgia public school or pre-K for the first time, this certificate documents your child’s vision, hearing, dental, and nutrition screenings.
Georgia Form 3321: The state’s certificate of immunization, which students need to keep current in order to attend school.
Sports physicals: Middle and high school athletes in Georgia High School Association (GHSA) sports must have an annual physical on file before tryouts, practices or games.

Bring any forms from your child’s school, league, or camp to the appointment, and our team will ensure they’re completed before you leave. Planning ahead? Summer is a great time to schedule so you can beat the back-to-school rush. Learn more about our physical exams.

Pediatrician Sick Visits and Same-Day Appointments

Kids get sick, often without warning. When your child wakes up with a fever or comes home from school with a sore throat, you shouldn’t have to wait days for answers. Southern Primary Care offers same-day appointments for urgent needs, so your child can be seen quickly by a provider who knows their history. We treat common childhood illnesses and concerns, including:

Coughs, colds, and flu
Sore throats and strep throat
Ear infections
Fevers
Stomach bugs, nausea, and diarrhea
Rashes and minor skin irritations
Seasonal allergies
Minor injuries, such as sprains and small cuts

Care for Asthma, Allergies & Ongoing Health Needs

Some children need more than a yearly checkup. Our providers help manage ongoing conditions like asthma and allergies, working with you on a care plan that fits your child’s daily life at home, at school, and on the field. If your child needs specialized care, we’ll coordinate a referral to a trusted specialist and stay involved as your family’s primary care home.

Health Support for Preteens & Teens

As kids grow into teenagers, their health needs change too. Our providers offer a comfortable, judgment-free space for adolescents to ask questions and talk about their physical and emotional well-being, from sports health and nutrition to sleep and stress. When extra support is needed, our behavioral health team is here to help.

What to Expect at Your Child's First Visit

Choosing a new provider for your child is a big decision, and we want the first visit to feel easy. New patients can get started online or by calling (478)477-0966. To make the most of your child’s first appointment, we recommend bringing:

Your child’s insurance card and your photo ID
Your child’s immunization records and any previous medical records
A list of current medications, allergies, and past health concerns
Any school, sports, or camp forms that need to be completed
Questions or concerns you’d like to talk through with the provider

Switching from another provider? Complete our medical release form ahead of time, and we’ll request your child’s records for you. Once your child is established, our patient portal makes it easy to view records, request refills, and message your care team.
