You should call our office shortly after delivery to set up your baby’s first appointment. We have privileges and an affiliation with NYU Medical Center, but our commitment to patients in our office prevents us from seeing newborns in the nursery. We recommend that you request the hospitalist, NYU Medical Center’s dedicated in-patient physician, to care for your infant in the nursery. The hospitalists are available full-time and are equipped to help you navigate any medical issues that might arise. If you are not delivering at NYU Medical Center, ask your hospital their procedure. If they do not have a hospitalist, they will probably ask your OB/GYN to recommend a Pediatrician on staff.
