YOUR VISIT
Newborn visits
Every newborn baby deserves a healthy start
Newborn visits are the beginning of your baby’s care
Welcome to the Valle Verde Pediatrics family
A head-to-toe health check for your newborn
During your newborn visit, we will perform a thorough physical examination of your baby, check their developmental milestones, measure their height and weight, and assess their feeding, sleeping, and voiding (stooling) habits. If you have medical questions or need newborn care advice, this visit is the perfect place to ask.
We will review your hospital or birthing center discharge papers to make sure all necessary screenings and vaccines are complete (including a newborn screening/PKU, hearing test, and hepatitis B vaccine). We will also talk about future appointments and a recommended vaccine schedule with you.
A smooth appointment from start to finish
Newborn visits at Valle Verde Pediatrics are available during regular office hours, so you can schedule at whatever time is best for you and your baby. Relax in our waiting room, and your provider will be with you as quickly as possible. Please remember to bring your hospital or birthing center discharge papers, driver’s license, and insurance card with you.
Before you leave the office, we will schedule your baby’s next set of appointments to ensure they continue meeting their milestones and avoid any vaccine delays — building a healthy connection from the start.
