Professional Quality Care
We look forward to developing a productive “provider-parent” partnership with you. Our professionals provide the quality care your child needs with the reassurance and encouragement you deserve.
Expecting
Having a baby is one of the most rewarding experiences in your life. We are committed to helping you keep your baby healthy.
You don’t need to preregister with us before your baby is born. If you would like Riverside Pediatrics to be your baby’s physician, let the hospital know that you have chosen our practice. Please contact us to schedule your newborn visit.
Your baby’s first pediatrician visit should be within 48 to 72 hours of leaving the hospital. Their second visit should be at two weeks old. During their first year, your child should see their pediatrician at one, two, four, six, nine, and 12 months of age. After your baby’s first birthday, they should be seen at 15, 18 and 24, and 30 months. After that, annual visits with your child’s pediatrician are recommended. Also, appointments can be made any time you have a health concern or your child is ill.
Baby Consult
We encourage new parents to attend one of our Baby consultations. This visit allows expectant parents a chance to find out where we are and what services we can provide them and their newborn.
