Congratulations!
Having a baby is one of the most rewarding experiences in your life. You have the privilege and responsibly of bringing a new life in this world; and providing an environment in which you and your baby will thrive and develop. Choosing which physician will care for your child is an important decision. At Children’s Medical Group, we share your joy and enthusiasm and look forward to years of providing support to you and your new family. Our staff is committed in helping you care for your child, and keeping your baby happy and healthy!
Prenatal Visits
We encourage new and expecting parents to schedule a complementary
prenatal visit. This is an excellent opportunity for you to
become acquainted with us, find out where
we are located, and
ask questions regarding the birth and care of your new baby. At
this visit, we will also discuss some care issues which you will
need to consider before the baby is born, such as breastfeeding and
circumcision for boys. This procedure can be done in our office
under local anesthetic to eliminate pain.

Upon Arrival
When your baby is born, simply tell your obstetrician or the hospital staff that you wish for Children’s Medical Group to be your pediatrician. Our office then will be notified by hospital staff. One of our physicians will see your baby soon after birth on a daily basis until both mother and baby are safely discharged home. They will answer your questions, as well as discuss how the baby is doing. Arrangements will then be made for the baby’s first office visit when your are discharged. This visit will usually be in 2-3 days to check on the baby’s weight and possible jaundice.
We strongly recommend that you breastfeed your new baby. We also encourage you to place the baby skin to skin as often as possible in the neonatal period. You should request to have baby in the room with you as much as possible. The nursery should only be used for necessary procedures such as the hearing screen.
