Earlier in November, Briana scared concerned fans when she posted a video of Stella laying in a hospital bed calling it her "most stressful yet relaxing visit yet."
Although Briana didn't disclose any specific details on Stella's health condition in her most recent Instagram stories update, Stella did appear to be in good spirits at her check-in.
The four-year-old was pictured wearing a cotton mask, so her facial expression was obscured.
Although the toddler held up a peace sign to the camera, her mother Briana, 27, presumably behind it.
She looked absolutely precious wearing rainbow-colored shoes, a bright pink top, and a white cardigan.
The two appeared to be visiting a pediatric cardiologist, as the decor on the light green walls included large stickers of colorful cartoon children.

MEDICAL SCARE
Earlier this month, the Teen Mom star updated fans on Stella's health after she was rushed to the hospital.
The reality star has previously been open about her daughter's numerous health concerns over the years.
Fans grew worried about the four-year-old after Briana shared a clip on her Instagram stories of Stella lying in a hospital bed.
In the short video, Briana captured her youngest child eating an apple while watching TV in her hospital room.
The toddler seemed to be unfazed as she pulled her mask beneath her chin to munch on the snack.
The concerned mom captioned the post: "The most stressful yet relaxing visit yet."
While the mom-of-two didn't provide any details on her daughter's condition, she did share an update with her Twitter followers shortly after.
She explained in the Tweet: "Stella's okay hospital let us go home but we have a cardiologist appointment next week to get a closer look."
Stella has had her fair share of medical encounters, as she was rushed into emergency surgery for a serious bacterial infection when she was only one.
Briana also revealed that her daughter was born with three holes in her heart, although her heart murmurs did disappear after a few hospital trips.
Back in January, the Teen Mom 2 star admitted she now gets "the worst anxiety" whenever her baby girl shows any signs of illness.
Briana Tweeted: "I have some sort of PTSD with Stella.
"She used to get sick every other weekend when she was a baby so any sign of her looking, sounding, or acting sick, I get the worst anxiety.
"Blessed to say she hasn’t gotten sick like before but I literally get so scared."
SCARY INFECTION
Back in 2018, the young mom rushed Stella, then only one-year-old, to the hospital with septic arthritis.
Septic arthritis is a joint inflammation that can cause fever, chills, severe joint pain and a decreased ability to move.
Briana said Stella had a fever of 104 degrees the week before and had difficulty moving her left arm.
The reality star told at the time: "I thought maybe she had an accident at daycare."
Doctors found the toddler had fluid in her joints and needed to have surgery to drain it.
Briana said: "The doctor says nobody really knows how one gets it.
"A simple bug bite or scratch can open up flesh and bacteria can travel."
'NOT FUNNY'
This month Briana was in hot water with fans after sharing a video of herself "mocking" Stella as she cried in fear on a rollercoaster ride.
The MTV star shared the video which showed Stella with her other daughter Nova, nine.
Stella was visibly upset, which Briana appeared to find funny.
She captioned the post: "She's crying," with a laughing-with-tears emoji.
Although Briana was amused, fans were not, as the post made its way over to , where the Teen Mom 2 star was slammed for being insensitive to her child.
One commenter wrote: "Apparently Stella crying makes Brianna [sic] laugh."
Another user wrote: "This isn't funny, it's mean.
"Why do parents do this??"
A third critic commented: "Wtf."
