Prenatal visits can be scheduled any afternoon at 1:15 PM with your preferred physician. After your baby’s born, the doctor on call for the specific hospital will see your baby the same day. When you arrive at the hospital, the staff will ask which pediatrician you wish to choose. Here, you can state “Children’s Medical Center.” We are affiliated with Memorial Hospitals and round at Memorial West, Miramar and Regional. After this, the hospital will notify the on-call physician, and your baby will be visited within the first 24 hours of their life. After being discharged, you will also be able to schedule your baby’s first appointment within one or two days.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

When scheduling your appointment, you should know that you can see any nurse practitioner or physician you prefer. As Children’s Medical Center is a group practice, we recommend getting familiar with a couple of different providers so we can provide continuity of care. You can always request a specific provider for your well and checkups if you prefer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

You should also know that we have three different locations, enabling you to schedule an appointment where your preferred provider works. You can also see a different physician if you prefer to visit a particular office. The choice is entirely up to you. Also, it’s also a great idea to register on our portal so you have access to your baby’s chart at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Lastly, you should know that we participate with most insurances. As such, you should ensure that your child is added to the given insurance within the first 30 days of their life. In cases that this does not happen, you will be responsible for paying for the expenses out of your pocket. In case you have an HMO or Medicaid plan, you should make sure that one of the doctors working in our office is selected as the Primary Care Physician or PCP.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
