Prenatal Visits and Newborn Classes

Complimentary Newborn Classes

The physicians at Forest Lane Pediatrics are now offering complimentary classes for expecting parents via a virtual platform. These classes will consist of small group sessions led by one of our board-certified pediatricians. Our goal is to help parents feel more prepared during this exciting, but sometimes intimidating, journey. Discussion topics will include what to expect in the hospital after delivery, as well as helpful tips for the first few weeks at home with your newborn. There will also be plenty of time for parents to ask questions during the session.

Complimentary Prenatal Visit

A complimentary prenatal visit with one of our board-certified pediatricians is the first step in starting a partnership with a doctor. It is a time for expecting parents to become acquainted with our staff and have questions answered about parenthood. These visits are not required to become patient in our practice.
