Well-child visits
Make time to discuss your child’s health and your questions as a parent or caregiver. The visit is shaped by age, health history and clinical needs, rather than a promise of the same examinations or tests for every child.
Child Care Within Family Medicine | Opening October 13, 2026
Child Care in NE Calgary
Growing children. Room for your questions.
Primary care for babies, children and teens within family medicine, welcoming families from Calgary and Chestermere. From well-child visits to common childhood illness concerns, a family physician can listen, assess and explain appropriate next steps. This is not a specialist pediatrician service.
All listed clinic services are available from October 13, 2026, according to clinical assessment. A future appointment request needs confirmation; it does not establish ongoing family-practice attachment.
Family medicine, from the beginning
What does Child Care mean here?
Here, Child Care means looking after children’s primary-care needs within family medicine. It includes prevention, growth and development review and assessment of common childhood illnesses, with referrals when appropriate.
A family physician is not a specialist pediatrician. If specialist input is clinically indicated, your physician can discuss referral options rather than promising specialist services at Madox Medical.
One visit and ongoing care are different
A confirmed appointment or walk-in visit does not automatically attach your child to a family practice. Ask the clinic about ongoing care and physician capacity. Child Care is part of our comprehensive family-medicine approach.
Our listed care scope
Care as your child grows.
Recommendations depend on your child’s age, history, needs and clinical assessment.
Growth and development review
Discuss growth, developmental progress and changes you have noticed. Available records and your observations help a family physician consider whether follow-up or further assessment is appropriate.
Common childhood illness assessment
A family physician can assess non-emergency childhood illness concerns, such as coughs, ear discomfort or rashes. Assessment helps guide appropriate next steps; information here cannot tell you what is causing a symptom.
Immunization review and counselling
Bring available immunization records to discuss your child’s history and questions. Vaccination and injection services are available from October 13, 2026, according to age, clinical eligibility and assessment. A review does not mean a vaccine or injection is appropriate at every visit, or that every product is offered.
Appropriate referrals
If a concern needs care beyond the family-medicine scope, a physician may recommend an appropriate referral. Referrals depend on clinical assessment; specialist appointments, timelines and procedures are not guaranteed by a clinic visit.
From questions to next steps
What a visit may look like
- 01
Start with your family’s questions
Tell the clinician what matters most to you and your child. Include when a concern began, what has changed and any previous care. Older children and teens can share their own questions too.
- 02
Review the health picture
Discuss relevant history, medicines, allergies, immunization records and growth or development concerns. The clinician may recommend an examination and explain it in an age-appropriate way, with consent.
- 03
Understand the assessment
Discuss the findings, any uncertainty and appropriate options. Assessment is not a guarantee of a test, prescription, injection or procedure. Availability and clinical suitability are separate questions.
- 04
Leave with clear next steps
Ask what to watch for, when to seek more urgent care and whether follow-up or referral is needed. Confirm how any recommended follow-up will be arranged.
A little preparation helps.
Bring the information you have. You do not need a perfect record to raise a concern.
- Your child’s Alberta health card and available medical records
- Immunization records, including vaccines received elsewhere
- Medicines and supplements with doses, plus known allergies or reactions
- A short symptom timeline and any growth or development questions
- Your main priorities, and questions your child or teen wants to ask
- A familiar comfort item, if helpful for your child
Help your child feel ready.
Explain the visit simply: it is a chance to ask questions and talk about their health. Let the clinician know what helps your child feel comfortable. Ask the clinic about accessibility or communication needs when arranging your visit.
Bring your immunization records.
Vaccination and injection services are available from October 13, 2026. Your child’s age, immunization history, clinical eligibility and assessment guide whether administration is appropriate. Not every product or procedure is promised. Use the appointment portal for requests, not the general contact form to send medical records or health details.

Parents’ questions, answered
Is this a specialist pediatrician clinic?
No. Child Care at Madox Medical is primary care for babies, children and teens within family medicine, not a specialist pediatrician service. A family physician can assess concerns and arrange an appropriate referral when clinically indicated.
What can a child’s visit include?
Available from October 13, 2026, Child Care includes well-child visits, growth and development review, assessment of common childhood illnesses, immunization review and counselling, and appropriate referrals. The clinician’s assessment guides next steps; a visit does not guarantee a particular test, prescription, procedure or referral.
Can my child receive vaccines or injections at the clinic?
Vaccination and injection services are available from October 13, 2026, alongside immunization review and counselling. Your child’s age, clinical eligibility, immunization history and assessment guide what is appropriate. Bring available immunization records. Service availability does not guarantee every vaccine product or an injection at every visit.
Can I bring my child for a walk-in visit?
From October 13, 2026, every patient arriving during walk-in hours will be seen the same day for assessment of non-emergency concerns, without an appointment. Clinical triage applies and wait times vary; procedures depend on assessment. Clinic and walk-in hours are Monday–Friday, 9:30 am–7:30 pm; Saturday, 10 am–4 pm; Sunday, closed.
Does an appointment request register my child with a family doctor?
No. A future appointment request needs confirmation from the clinic. A confirmed appointment or walk-in visit is separate from ongoing family-practice attachment. Ask the clinic about attachment and physician capacity. Opening updates are clinic news only, not patient registration or a guaranteed family-doctor place.
What should I bring to my child’s visit?
Bring your child’s Alberta health card, available immunization and medical records, and a list of medicines, doses and allergies. Write down your main questions and any symptom timeline or growth and development concerns. A familiar comfort item may help; ask the clinic about accessibility or communication needs when arranging the visit.
What if my child needs help urgently?
For a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Examples include severe trouble breathing, unresponsiveness or a life-threatening injury; this is not a complete list. Do not wait for a clinic appointment or an online reply. For non-emergency health advice when unsure where to seek care, call Health Link Alberta at 811.
