Expecting a Baby? We’re So Glad You’re Here.
Welcoming a new baby is an exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—time. Whether this is your first child or you’re growing your family, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Our pediatric team loves meeting families before their baby arrives. Getting to know each other early helps ensure a smooth, confident start once your little one is here.

Your Baby’s First Visit
Your baby’s first pediatric visit typically takes place within 24–72 hours after hospital discharge.

- Answer questions about feeding, sleep, and diapering
- Review newborn screenings and vaccines

To set up your newborn’s first appointment:
- Call our office the day you are being discharged from the hospital. Make sure to obtain a copy of the discharge papers to bring with you to your first appointment.
