New Patient Information

We appreciate you choosing us as the pediatric center for your most precious possession: your child/children. We know you have many options in pediatric medicine in Raleigh, NC and feel honored that you have chosen us. We think you’ll find that a small pediatric clinic like ours offers a more personal approach and feel.

Before your first visit to our Raleigh, NC pediatric center, please read over our policies page, take time to fill out our new patient information form and read our insurance/billing page.

Expecting your first child? Congratulations!

We offer a complementary pre-natal visit at your convenience any time during our office hours where you will meet one-on-one with one of our doctors or our nurse practitioner. After sitting down and talking about our pediatric services, the upcoming hospital experience and answering any questions and concerns you may have, a tour of the office is given. You will also have the opportunity to speak with our certified lactation consultant. We support breastfeeding and feel that anticipatory education is beneficial to everyone involved.

Preparing for your baby

In anticipation and preparation for the baby’s arrival and homecomming, a list of basic necessities is below. 

  • Car seat (you will not be able to leave the hospital without one)
  • Bassinet, crib, or Moses basket
  • Baby bathtub or sink
  • Newborn sized diapers
  • Non-alcohol baby wipes
  • Rubbing alcohol and q-tips for cleaning umbilical cord
  • Burp cloths
  • Bottles (even if you are going to breastfeed, a few are a good idea)
  • Nipples
  • Thermometer (rectal)
  • Bulb suction (you will be given one in the hospital)
  • Clothing (don’t buy too much in small sizes, they grow quickly)
  • Thin, lightweight blankets
  • Diaper bag of some sort
  • Baby vitamins (D-vi-sol or others)
  • Other helpful items include a changing table or pad, stroller, bouncy seat, front carrier or sling, pacifier and humidifier (cool mist).

We are glad to discuss questions you might have about equipment at a “meet and greet” or newborn appointment.

If you have additional questions please contact us online or at (919) 787-9555. We look forward to meeting you and your family!
