Newborn Care and Breastfeeding

Free Prenatal Visit - Set up anytime prior to birth to come meet Dr Patterson and understand the practice and look at the office. She will walk you through the hospital and first few doctors visits to give you an idea of what to expect.

After Birth - Simply call from the hospital once the in-hospital pediatrician has given instructions on when to follow up with your pediatrician and Dr Patterson will set up an appropriate appointment for your new baby. Please bring your birth records with you to the first appointment. Dr Patterson has extensive experience with first time parents and newborns. She also offers one on one help with breastfeeding. For new parents, having your doctor available by text makes all the difference in those first few months.
