New Babies
Congratulations
Congratulations on the birth of your baby!

We are here to help you with whatever you may need.
Support
You have a great support system here.
Appointment
To set an appointment for your child, go
here.
The provider on call will fully examine your baby before he / she leaves the hospital. They will also stop by their room and introduce themselves and let you know how they feel the visit went with your newborn.
If you deliver at a hospital we are not affiliated with, let the physician on call know that you will be followed by our office once the baby leaves the hospital.
Contact our office immediately upon discharge to schedule your baby’s first appointment.
Insurance Requirements
Notify your HR Department once your baby is born. You must request that your newborn is added to your insurance policy. Initial coverage under the insured parent is only good for the first 30 days after the child is born.
We look forward to seeing you in our office, and we hope that you and your child love it here. We hope to build a strong relationship with you and watch your child grow up healthy and happy!
Well Child Visits
All well child exams and physicals are performed by appointment only. Schedule your child’s exam in advance to make sure they stay on schedule. Please be aware that June, July and August are very busy due to back to school exams.
Sick Appointments
Our telephone lines open at 8:30 AM Monday through Friday. Please call as early as you can to ensure a same-day appointment for your child. In most cases, your appointment will be scheduled with the provider that is first available. Due to the personal, focused care that we want to provide for each child, walk-ins are very strongly discouraged.
