Are You Expecting?

Congratulations on your growing family!

Starting or expanding a family is a wonderful experience, filled with excitement, joy, and plenty of questions. Choosing a pediatrician is an important step, and we would love the opportunity to meet you before your little one arrives. Call Athens Area Pediatrics to schedule a prenatal visit with one of our providers.


This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the practice, meet our pediatricians, ask questions, and find out what to expect during your baby's first visits. We look forward to welcoming your family and being part of your child's healthcare journey from the very beginning!

What To Bring
  • Any paperwork from the hospital, including hearing screen results and immunization records.
  • Any available insurance information (often only the parent’s insurance is available at the first visit).
  • Plenty of diapers and an extra set of clothes.
  • New patient forms can be completed beforehand to help streamline your visit.

Before Your First Appointment

Before delivery, call the office to schedule a prenatal appointment.

When the happy day has arrived, you can tell the hospital staff that you have chosen us as your pediatrician.

After delivery, call the office to schedule a newborn visit. Newborns should be seen 1-2 days after discharge from the hospital.
