For Expecting Parents
If you are choosing a pediatrician for the first time, we recommend you begin the process to select a pediatrician in your third trimester. To make sure you’ve found the right doctor, don’t hesitate to ask a potential pediatrician as many questions as you need to feel comfortable.
After having your baby, we will help you schedule your baby’s first well-check visit. This appointment should take place within one to three days after going home from the hospital.
