Once your newborn leaves the hospital if there is ever a reason for a hospital admission it would be at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston or Scottish Rite. Both hospitals have a team of doctors, called Hospitalists, who are available 24/7 and will take excellent care of your child during the hospital stay. There is ongoing communication with us, a discharge summary is sent, and all follow up is done in our office. |

We are on staff at Dekalb Medical Center and at Piedmont Hospital, and if selected by you we will come to check your new baby within 24 hours of delivery. We will examine the baby, review the chart and come to your room to go over the exam and talk about new baby issues, such as feeding, cord care, and jaundice. If your baby has any unexpected complications both hospitals have exceptional neonatologists who will care for your baby and coordinate with us as you are ready for discharge. Babies born at other area hospitals are seen by physicians on staff there, and then seen in our office a few days after discharge. Read more about newborns here. |
