Walk-in Physicals are available each year in May, June, and July.

ARC doctors want you to know what you may be missing if you let the sports physical take the place of your child’s annual well-check. Annual check ups are vitally important for your children, because unlike sports physicals, they also include:

1. regular monitoring of growth and nutrition, including monitoring for obesity;
2. screening for familial medical conditions like high cholesterol and high blood pressure;
3. updating required immunizations;
4. assessment of social and emotional development; and
5. assessment of high risk behaviors like smoking, alcohol consumption and unprotected sex.

If your child has already had his or her annual checkup within the year, ARC doctors will be happy to fill out the necessary paperwork based on that exam so that you do not have to make an appointment for another physical exam.

Patient Checklist

• All children must bring health insurance information.
• All children must bring updated shot record.
• All children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

ARC accepts most insurance plans and offers discounts to cash-paying patients at the time of the visit.

For more information call ARC-INFO (512-272-4636) or one of the ARC clinics.

Please note the changes made to the Texas Schools immunization requirements and ask your doctor what, if any, immunizations your child may need as they prepare for the next school year.
