Prenatal and Newborns Pediatric Care

There’s so much to think about when you’re preparing to welcome a new baby! When you’re ready to start looking for your baby’s pediatrician, we’d love to meet you.

At Acorn Pediatrics, we believe that the key to creating good health outcomes is building relationships with patients and families. For us, that process starts with a meet and greet to see if we’re the right fit for your family. We welcome parents-to-be to set up an appointment with us, either in person or online, to discuss any questions you have about our practice or parenthood in general!

Acorn Pediatrics’ team is available from the moment your child is born. Call within the first 24 hours of birth, and we will schedule your first appointment with us. If your baby experiences any complications during birth or the hospital stay, please give us a call. We can consult with the hospital to get your newborn the best care.

1 month visit

2 month visit

4 month visit

6 month visit
