Newborn visits are the beginning of your baby’s care

Congratulations! Whether this is your first child or an addition to your growing family, every parent wants to make sure their new baby gets top-quality pediatric care — and newborn visits are an essential part of that care.

Your newborn visit at Arbor Pediatrics should take place 24-48 hours after leaving the hospital or birthing center. Our dedicated newborn phone line makes scheduling your appointment easy. All you have to do is call (480) 778-1732. Remember to contact your insurance company and have your baby added to your health plan as well.

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, and assess their weight, feeding, sleeping, and voiding (stooling) habits. If you need advice or have medical questions, this visit is the perfect place to ask them.

We will also 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) and talk about future appointments and vaccines with you.

Keeping your baby safe and protected

All newborn visits at Arbor Pediatrics are scheduled first thing in the morning or first thing in the afternoon to minimize your baby’s exposure to other children. You will go directly to an exam room when you arrive or wait in a designated well visit area if no exam room is available. 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 get all necessary vaccines — building a healthy relationship from the start.
