Congratulations!
Having a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. Nothing is more rewarding than the privilege of caring for this new life and providing an environment in which both you and your child will thrive and develop. Choosing the pediatrician that can best care for your child is an important decision. At Oso Pediatrics we share your joy and enthusiasm and look forward to the opportunity in partnering with you on the exciting journey of raising a child.
What is a pediatrician?
A pediatrician is a physician whose specific specialty is caring for children from birth to 18 years of age. Pediatricians address acute and chronic illnesses, learning disabilities, behavioral issues and the growth and development of children. Our goal is to help ensure that children grow into mentally and physical healthy, productive and happy adults.
Getting Acquainted
Please feel free to call our office if you have additional questions about us. Or, if you prefer, call today to schedule a “get acquainted” meeting.
Upon Arrival
If you are giving birth at Saddleback or Mission Hospital, please let the delivery nurse know and the hospital will notify our office, and one of our rounding physicians will visit you during your stay. For all other hospitals, please ask for your discharge paperwork including the baby’s weight, length, head circumference, APGAR and screenings and bring with you to your first appointment at Oso Pediatrics.
Don’t forget to complete your new patient forms sent to you via text before your appointment. Please also bring your insurance card and any other pertinent hospital paperwork.
We look forward to meeting you and watching your child grow.
