well visits

Routine health checkups

Well visits are routine medical appointments for preventive care rather than treatment of illness or injury.

Parents take children for well visits to track development and receive vaccinations; adults schedule them for screenings and general health monitoring.

Also called well-child visits or wellness visits: The pediatrician recommends well visits every six months for the first two years.
