What should I bring to my child's first newborn care appointment?

For your baby’s first visit, the doctor will discuss your labor and delivery and any complications you experienced. Be prepared to provide medical information about your health and your family’s health history. The doctor will check your baby's weight, monitor for signs of jaundice, check feeding, answer your questions, check pulse, respiration, and temperature, and administer immunizations if not given at the hospital.

What vaccines do you offer and what is your recommended immunization schedule?

We follow the recommended immunization schedule, including vaccines for HEP B, DTaP, IPV, HIB, PCV, RV, MMR, Varicella, HEP A, HPV, Meningococcal, and annual flu vaccines. Please refer to the vaccinations page on our website for the detailed schedule.

Do you offer Telemedicine services, and how do they work?

Yes, we offer Telemedicine for established patients who have contracted or suspect they've contracted COVID-19, or who have a family member who tested positive for COVID-19. Please call our office to make an appointment or with any questions.

What should I do if my child is sick and needs to see a doctor?

If your child’s condition is life-threatening, please call 911. If not life-threatening, call our office to make an appointment. Same-day sick visits are needed if your child has a high fever, looks very ill, has abdominal pain, a serious injury, trouble swallowing, headaches with fever or vomiting, a widespread rash, or continues to feel sick after fever reduction.

What is a sports physical, and why is it important for my child to get one?

A sports physical helps determine and deal with health problems that might interfere with your child’s participation in a sport. Your doctor may also offer training tips and give you some ideas on how to avoid injuries. The doctor also can identify risk factors linked to specific sports, ensuring your child is safe while playing sports.
