How Does My Child Become a Patient?

For Newborns

Our providers will care for your newborn throughout your hospital stay. If it is not a hospital that our providers have privileges at, the hospital physician will provide care. The doctor will determine when your first appointment should be scheduled. Upon discharge, call our office to schedule your baby's first appointment.  We would like to see your baby for his or her first appointment 2-3 days after being discharged from the hospital. This is to ensure that baby is feeding properly, to address any questions the parents may have and to provide proper anticipatory guidance for the newborn period. We can also discuss the first vaccine Heptatitis B and if the parents would like to give baby this vaccine in the hospital or during the first month of life in our office.

For New Families Transferring to Us

Our goal is to provide the best medical care for your children. To do this successfully, we must be able to review all of your children's medical records from all providers that your children have seen.  It is our policy to receive your children's previous medical records before we can assume care of your children and schedule an appointment.
Once the records are received, we will review them to determine if they are complete or sufficient for us to begin caring for your children. Unfortunately, we cannot treat or provide any care for your children until that time.
Please be aware that under federal (HIPAA) and state laws, your previous medical provider may charge a "reasonable, cost-based fee" to copy your childrens medical records. This cost is your responsibility. This fee may be waived if records are sent directly to our office.

If you have not already done so, please sign a release of records form and provide it to your children's previous medical provider.

We look forward to meeting you and your family.
