Congratulations! Having a baby is one of the most rewarding but terrifying experiences in life.
We offer free “pre-natal visits” to expectant parents who haven’t decided on pediatrician and want the opportunity to see our office and meet with one of our providers. This visit can help you to become acquainted with us, find out which of our 2 locations is more convenient for you, and ask questions regarding the birth of your baby and our practice.
Topics you might wish to discuss include infant feeding (we have lactation consultants on staff available for in-office or telemed appointments!), our approach to illness (we are open 7 days a week including many evenings until 8pm) and immunizations (we follow the CDC/AAP guidelines).
To schedule a prenatal visit, please call the office- it’s a good idea to identify the medical insurance the baby will have and check with our office to be sure that we participate with them (although we try to keep this list up to date).
Once you’ve decided, no matter which hospital you plan to deliver- it’s easy, just let them know “Child Health Care Associates” and they will call and notify us/send records. Once you are ready for discharge from the hospital they will tell you to call for the first newborn appointment at the office.
