When do you have to bring your baby to the pediatrician?

Typically you will be asked to bring your baby to the office 24-48 hours after you are discharged from the hospital. This quick turn around gives us a chance to check in on how those first few days at home have been which can be a nerve-wracking time in a new families’ life! After that if all goes well the next visit is at 2 weeks. Immunizations begin at 2 months.

What is the most exciting thing about having a baby?

Nothing is more rewarding than the privilege of caring for this new life and providing an environment in which both you and your child will thrive and develop. Choosing the pediatrician that can best care for your child is an important decision.

When do you add a newborn to your insurance?

Remember to add your newborn to your insurance within the first 30 days after birth to avoid lapse in coverage. We will need your baby’s insurance card by the two-month well-child visit.

Is there a charge for a prenatal visit?

It is natural to have lots of questions that we can answer and try to put your mind at ease! There is no charge for this visit. Call 918.493.1114 to schedule a visit with one of our doctors before your baby's arrival.
