At Pediatric Affiliates, our providers are experts in care for children from birth through adolescence, including:

• Newborns & Infants (0–12 months)
• Toddlers (1–4 years)
• Children (5–12 years)
• Teens & Young Adults (13–18 years)

We recommend that newborns have their first pediatric visit within 48–72 hours after leaving the hospital or following a home or birthing center delivery. These early visits are an important opportunity for our providers to check your baby’s weight, feeding, and overall health, as well as answer any questions you may have as you settle in at home.

Our team is here to support you from the very beginning, and we encourage families to schedule this first visit before leaving the hospital—or shortly after delivery for home or birthing center births—to ensure a smooth transition home. Visit our Expectant Mothers page to learn more about the process of getting an infant started at Pediatric Affiliates.

For your child’s first visit, we recommend bringing your insurance card a photo ID, and complete any online forms through Phreesia. Completing forms ahead of time helps our team stay up to date on your child’s medical history, preferences, and current needs so we can make the most of your time together.

If you’re bringing a newborn, please bring any hospital or birth records you received, as well as feeding details and all discharge instructions. For families transferring from another practice, we encourage you to have your child’s previous medical records sent ahead of time or bring a copy with you to ensure continuity of care.

At Pediatric Affiliates, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to any necessary complete paperwork and verify information such as insurance.

Yes, we offer same-day appointments at all Pediatric Affiliates locations and reserve these visits for children with urgent or sick care needs. We make every effort to accommodate same-day visits at your primary location whenever possible.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling our office.
