CHADIS Pre-Visit Questionnaires

Save time, complete visit forms online

CHADIS is our online system that delivers developmental and health questionnaires directly to parents and families. The questionnaire results come directly to your doctor at Appleseed Pediatrics.

This information will help us address any concerns about your child’s health and development. Completing the questionnaire ahead of time also saves you time in the office

You should complete CHADIS questionnaires:

  • The very first time your child visits our office
  • Before every well-child visit
  • Before all ADHD and behavioral health visits.

Instructions

You can access CHADIS through our patient portal.

Please select well-child for all routine check-ups. For other visits, select the appropriate choice. If this will be your child’s very first time visiting our office, please be sure to select the New Patient visit type — either well-child for a check-up, or other visit for everything else.

Please call us if you have any problems registering or choosing the correct appointment type.
