I'm looking into specialists. I scheduled my daughter for an ophthalmologist (the doctor said once a year) and a neurologist (every six months). Now there are some new issues with her GI tract: it looks like another ultrasound, tests, and a visit to the gastroenterologist are needed, even though it hasn't even been a year. Soon it'll be time for the endocrinologist – for a check-up and dosage adjustment. So, it seems like I have some kind of check-up with almost all specialists about once a year. How are things with you?

We go based on complaints. Mostly it's just our pediatrician.

An eye exam once a year, just in case there's an issue with my vision. Genetics, plus phone/computer use. Doesn't seem like I need anything else for now.

Nataliya Ivanova We also started because of complaints, but in the end, almost everyone is under the care of specialists 😔

as needed.

Once a year to the ophthalmologist and traumatologist because of existing issues, tests are also yearly. To other specialists only as needed. To the pediatrician only if I need a note for school.

With my older one, we only go to the ophthalmologist once a year to get new contact lenses. The dentist as needed.

Elena But how often does this need arise? That's the question.

Elena Thank goodness, it's very rare for us. We get vaccinations done at the pediatrician's for check-ups, and that's it.

It feels like we're constantly going to the doctor's office. An ophthalmologist twice a year to check myopia, an endocrinologist once a year for hormones and ultrasound due to thyroid changes. Now an ENT has been added because of a lingering runny nose since May. And she gets sick often.

Anastasiya It really feels like we're constantly at the doctor's office. It seems like we just went, and here we are again. The ophthalmologist noticed something and said we need to monitor it yearly to catch any issues early. The endocrinologist is tracking cysts and hormones. My digestive system has been problematic since childhood, especially my gallbladder. We do courses of treatment, but time passes, and it flares up again with nausea, vomiting, and it's the same cycle. We're also under a neurologist's care.

I regularly take my son to the dentist, orthopedist, and podiatrist. We won't need the podiatrist anymore once we get his toenail sorted out. Though, a podiatrist isn't really a doctor, right?
And also an ENT specialist.

I've been to the gastroenterologist twice this year because my stomach sometimes hurts. But luckily, they haven't found anything. I'm also a regular at the orthopedist. But that's just my "luck." Nothing else.

Tanya I don't count the dentist, I'm a lifelong patient there. I also had some difficulties with the orthopedist, but like everyone else.

Anastasiya Kiseleva Unfortunately, she's had issues with her gallbladder since birth, and the older she gets, the more frequent these attacks become, even though she takes medication in courses.

Tanya I have flat feet. So we've been monitoring it since she was two. The ENT has also been seeing her for adenoids since she was two. But, you know, we haven't been in a while. I should go get it checked out.

They have a medical check-up at school every year, and before that at kindergarten, so it's as needed, if they say it's necessary

Anastasiya Kiseleva What kind of problems? My son had a kinked gallbladder and often had stomach pain. Now, knock on wood, it's much less frequent. And the ultrasound said there's a kink when he's lying down, but it straightens out when he stands up.
