Congratulations on the birth of your baby! If you have not already registered your child with our practice, you must do so prior to scheduling your first appointment.  When completing the Patient Registration form, enter your due date for your baby’s birthdate and baby for first name.  Once the baby is here, we’ll update the information. Click here for new patient forms

Unless otherwise discussed, your baby should be seen at our office within 24 to 48 hours of discharge from the hospital. As a reminder, you have 30 days to add your child to your insurance policy. We encourage you to call your HR department or insurance company to ensure this has been done.

Patients can select their own provider, and most appointments will be made with that provider. If your provider is not available for a visit, you will be given the choice of waiting for your provider or having your child’s needs cared for by another provider in the group.

Please discuss with the receptionist what kind of appointment you need so that the proper amount of time can be allotted to you. More on Types of Visits.

The easiest and fastest way to reach us for non-urgent matters is through Keona Health, our secure, online care advice system. More on Keona Health.
