Choosing your Pediatrician
It is very important to your child's health and development and your peace of mind as a parent to establish a good relationship with your child's pediatrician.  We want to get to know you and be sure that you find a pediatrician with whom you feel comfortable and enjoy great communication.  For this reason we offer two complimentary "Get acquainted" visits during pregnancy.

Delivery

When your baby to arrives, your pediatrician will come to the hospital to see you and the baby within the first day after birth. If your doctor is not available another doctor from Pediatric Associates of the Northwest will see your baby.

Our providers have privileges to see newborns at the following hospitals:
Providence St. Vincent Hospital

Check with your insurance company to be sure your delivery will be covered at one of these hospitals.  If you must deliver at a hospital other than one listed here, a doctor from another practice will need to see your baby in the hospital.  We will be able to care for your baby in our office after your hospital stay.

Post-Partum Follow-Up

If everything is going well we want to see your newborn three days after you are discharged from the hospital.  Please call our office to schedule the appointment.   Of course if the baby is having any problems please call our office immediately with any questions or concerns.  We are available by phone 24 hours a day to answer your questions.  When you call our office outside business hours our answering service will take a message and one of our providers will call you back as soon as possible.
