Academy of Pediatrics Advises Against Retail Store Clinics
The American Academy of Pediatrics is advising families to steer clear of health clinics in retail stores.
The group believes the clinics do not provide children with the high-quality, regular preventative care they need.
The AAP advises parents to use a trusted pediatrician as often as possible and only use a retail clinic if it has a formal relationship with the child’s pediatrician.Â
