What Pediatric Services Does Dr. Oldham Offer?
Dr. Oldham covers the full scope of outpatient pediatric care from the two-week newborn visit through age 18. That includes well-child exams on the AAP Bright Futures schedule, the complete CDC-recommended immunization series, developmental milestone screening (ASQ at 9, 18, and 30 months; M-CHAT at 18 and 24 months), hearing and vision screening, same-day sick visits for ear infections, strep, respiratory illness, rashes, and minor injuries, sports and school physicals, ADHD evaluation and medication management, and adolescent care including reproductive health counseling and mental health screening.
Because Dr. Oldham also delivers babies and provides prenatal care, many families begin the pediatric relationship before birth. Dr. Oldham sees the newborn for the hospital check, the two-week visit, and every well-child appointment that follows. That continuity means the physician who treated the mother’s preeclampsia also knows the baby’s birth history firsthand.
What Happens at a Well-Child Visit?
A well-child visit includes height, weight, and head circumference measurements plotted against CDC growth charts, a physical exam, developmental screening appropriate to the child’s age, a review of feeding, sleep, and behavioral milestones, immunizations due that visit, and anticipatory guidance for parents on what to expect in the next stage. Dr. Oldham schedules well-child visits at the AAP-recommended intervals: 2 weeks, 1 month, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months in the first year, then at 15 and 18 months, annually from 2-5 years, and annually or biennially through adolescence.
We hear from Spanish Fork parents that their biggest concern about well-child visits is whether anything will be missed between appointments. Dr. Oldham addresses this by giving parents a specific list of red-flag symptoms to watch for at each stage and making same-day sick visits available so concerns don’t wait until the next scheduled check.
What Immunizations Does Dr. Oldham Give Children?
Dr. Oldham administers the full CDC-recommended immunization schedule for children and adolescents: hepatitis B (birth series), DTaP, IPV (polio), Hib, PCV15 or PCV20 (pneumococcal), rotavirus, MMR, varicella, hepatitis A, influenza (annually starting at 6 months), meningococcal (MenACWY at 11, booster at 16; MenB discussion at 16-23), HPV (starting at 9-11), and Tdap booster at 11-12 years. Dr. Oldham’s team typically combines immunizations with well-child checkups, completing the recommended schedule in fewer visits than families expect.
When Should You Bring a Sick Child to the Doctor?
Same-day sick visits are available for children with fever over 100.4F in infants under 3 months (seek immediate care), persistent fever over 102F lasting more than 48 hours, ear pain, sore throat lasting more than 2 days, wheezing or labored breathing, rash with fever, vomiting or diarrhea causing dehydration signs (no wet diaper in 6-8 hours, dry lips, no tears), and any injury involving a possible fracture or laceration. Dr. Oldham’s surgical training means lacerations and minor injuries can often be handled in the office rather than at an urgent care or ER.
For common colds and mild viral illness, Dr. Oldham’s general guidance is to manage at home with fluids, rest, and fever control, and come in if symptoms worsen after 3-5 days or new symptoms develop. The front desk can help triage by phone at (385) 265-6060.
Does Dr. Oldham Evaluate and Treat ADHD in Children?
Yes. Dr. Oldham evaluates ADHD using AAP guidelines: parent and teacher rating scales (Vanderbilt), a detailed developmental and behavioral history, and a medical exam to rule out mimicking conditions. Treatment follows a stepwise approach, starting with behavioral strategies for children under 6, and adding medication (stimulant or non-stimulant) when indicated for school-age children. Follow-up visits every 1-3 months monitor growth, side effects, and academic and behavioral response. See the mental health care page for more on ADHD management across all ages.
Why Choose a Family Doctor Over a Pediatrician?
A family medicine physician like Dr. Oldham provides the same well-child exams, immunizations, and developmental care as a pediatrician, with one advantage: the child doesn’t age out of the practice at 18. Teenagers transitioning into adult care stay with the same physician who has known them since birth. Parents also benefit because they can book their own appointments and their children’s appointments at the same office, with the same front desk, and the same physician who understands the family’s full health history.

Does Insurance Cover Pediatric Visits?
Well-child visits and immunizations are classified as preventive care under the ACA and are covered at no additional cost on most insurance plans. Sick visits are billed as standard office visits with normal copays. The practice accepts 30+ insurance plans, including most major Utah carriers, Medicaid, and CHIP.
