Baylor Scott & White Primary Care Associates Pediatrics - Greenville

As new parents, it is important to find a pediatrician for your child with whom you feel comfortable and confident. Prenatal interviews are intended for pregnant moms (and dads) who are looking for a pediatrician. It is an opportunity for soon-to-be new parents to meet the pediatrician, ask Questions and become acquainted with the office. It is a free visit with no obligation.

In addition to taking your child to the physician when your child is ill or needs an examination to participate in a particular activity, routine well-care visits are recommended.

Newborns born at Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, will be cared for by the in-house hospital pediatrician, and arrangements should be made to follow up with us in the office within one to three days of going home from the hospital. Please bring hospital discharge papers with you to your first appointment.

The newborn checkup is usually done in the office within one to two days of leaving the hospital when your baby is 3-5 days old. This checkup is important to assess your baby’s feeding habits, assist with breastfeeding and check for weight loss and jaundice. If all is going well, the next newborn checkup is usually at 2 weeks of age.

Immunization is key to preventing disease among the general population. Vaccines benefit both the people who receive them and the vulnerable, unvaccinated people around them because the infection can no longer spread through the community if most people are immunized. In addition, immunizations reduce the number of deaths and disability from infections, such as measles, whooping cough and chickenpox.

The sports physical is known as a pre-participation physical examination. The exam helps determine whether it's safe for you to participate in a particular sport. We recommend that kids and teens have a sports physical before they start a new sport or begin a new competitive season.
