I worked in healthcare for over 20 years. "Well checks" are nothing more than a process to get you back into the clinic for a billable event. Pediatricians are notorious for this because of the fact the ages they treat don’t have chronic conditions like adults. Big Food and Big Pharma are doing all they can to change that, but it doesn’t happen overnight so "well checks" are needed to pay the bills.

They deliver the cause of the chronic illness and autoimmune diseases.
And if at all possible, get you on some meds for one thing or another, whether you need them or not.
Pediatricians make big bucks if they can vaccinate a high percentage of the children. I tell people to avoid pediatricians like the plague!
