Newborn Care Starts Here

Our physicians care for babies from birth, and many families choose to meet us before their baby arrives. During your baby’s first weeks, we check feeding, weight gain, jaundice, sleep, and overall health, and we are always available to answer the questions that come up at 2 am. We also offer newborn circumcision and begin routine immunizations according to the American Academy of Pediatrics schedule. After the newborn period, your baby will continue with regular well-child checks to track growth and development milestones.
