Everything you need to know for your baby's first year
Newborn Visit Checklist
Your baby's first pediatric visits are crucial for ensuring healthy development. Here's what to expect:
Before Birth
- Choose your pediatrician during the third trimester
- Book a complimentary Meet and Greet visit
- Verify insurance coverage for newborn care
Please Note: Meet and Greet visits are not required to establish care at our office. This optional visit allows you to meet with a provider before your baby arrives. For established families, this visit is also not required.
Before booking, we encourage you to review our provider bios to help you choose the right provider for your family. Please schedule with only one provider to ensure availability for all families.
