Choosing a pediatrician before birth gives your family time to understand the practice and plan the first days of care. A prenatal conversation can cover feeding, newborn care, hospital follow-up, vaccines, office policies, and any known medical needs.
Meet Sapphire before your baby arrives
Prenatal meet-and-greet appointments may be available in person or virtually. Call to confirm current availability and whether a fee or insurance requirement applies.
If you plan to deliver at Rose Medical Center, tell the hospital team you have chosen Sapphire Pediatrics and confirm the current hospital-coverage process. If you are delivering elsewhere, call Sapphire around discharge to arrange the first office appointment. Choosing the practice does not replace registering the baby or confirming insurance.
Questions worth bringing
- How are the first newborn visits scheduled?
- How does same-day and after-hours care work?
- What feeding and lactation support is available?
- How does the practice approach immunizations?
- How will parents or guardians use MyChart?
