It is not a requirement for your pediatrician to be affiliated with the hospital you deliver at. If your pediatrician is not affiliated with the hospital you deliver at, you will most likely be seen by the hospital staff pediatrician. All of your child’s subsequent appointments would be with your regular pediatrician. If your pediatrician is affiliated with the hospital you deliver at, however, then you will know that the person who is examining your newborn is someone you are familiar with.
