Your First Visit to Kidswood Pediatrics: What to Expect

At Kidswood Pediatrics, we understand how important your child’s first visit is—for both their health and your peace of mind. Our compassionate pediatricians and team are dedicated to making this experience comfortable and informative for your family.

During your baby’s first appointment, we begin by getting to know your child’s birth history, your family’s medical background, and any specific concerns you may have. We’ll carefully measure your baby’s weight, length, and head circumference to track their healthy growth and development.

One of our board-certified pediatricians will then perform a thorough physical examination, checking your baby’s heart, lungs, abdomen, eyes, ears, mouth, skin, and reflexes. We’ll also assess muscle tone and overall responsiveness to ensure your little one is thriving.

At Kidswood Pediatrics, we believe in supporting parents every step of the way. We’ll talk with you about feeding, sleep routines, diaper changes, and developmental milestones. This is the perfect time to ask any questions about newborn care, safety, or what to expect in the coming weeks. Our team will also review the recommended immunization schedule and, if appropriate, administer your baby’s first vaccines.

Your visit will conclude with a pediatrics care plan, including when to schedule your next well-child visit and tips for monitoring your baby’s progress at home. Our goal is to partner with you to ensure your child’s healthiest start in life.

To schedule your child’s first appointment with us, simply contact our office directly. You can call our main line during regular business hours, and one of our friendly receptionists will assist you in finding a convenient appointment time. For added convenience, Kidswood Pediatrics also offers online appointment requests—just visit our website and complete the appointment request form with your child’s basic information and your contact details.

Once we receive your information, a member of our staff will confirm your appointment and let you know if there are any forms to complete or documents to bring, such as your child’s immunization records and insurance information. If your child has any specific health concerns or medical needs, please let us know when scheduling so we can ensure the appropriate amount of time for your visit.

If you have questions about which forms to fill out or what documents are necessary, our team is here to help guide you every step of the way. Our goal is to make your child’s first visit as smooth and welcoming as possible!

These visits are a wonderful way for you to get to know our Kidswood Pediatrics team, tour our welcoming office, and ask any questions you may have about caring for your new baby. During your visit, you’ll meet Dr. Zully Ambroise, MD, and our experienced pediatricians, who will discuss our philosophy of newborn care, explain what to expect during your hospital stay and your baby’s first months, and provide helpful guidance on topics such as feeding, sleep routines, immunizations, and safety at home.
