Our goal is to make the decision process easier and help you feel confident in your choice of care.

At KidzCare Pediatrics, we believe every child deserves access to high-quality healthcare–that’s why we work hard to make pediatric care affordable and accessible for families. We accept Medicaid and most major commercial insurance plans, helping families receive the care their children need.

Care That Grows With Your Child
As your child grows and reaches new milestones, our care evolves alongside them. From behavioral health services to specialized pediatric care, we provide a connected, whole-child approach designed to support your family throughout every stage of childhood and adolescence.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Be prepared and confident for your baby’s first visit.
Your baby’s first visit is an important milestone in establishing care and supporting a healthy start. During this appointment, your provider will assess your baby’s weight, feeding, growth, and overall well-being while answering any questions you may have. Taking a little time to prepare beforehand can help ensure the visit is smooth, comfortable, and focused on your baby’s needs.
What to Bring to Your Newborn Visit
To help your baby’s first appointment go as smoothly as possible, we recommend bringing:
- Any paperwork from the hospital, including hearing screen results and immunization records
- Any available insurance information
- Feeding details or notes from your time in the hospital
- Plenty of diapers and an extra set of clothes
- Take a moment to review our patient policies prior to the visit
