New patients may call our office to schedule at any time. For expecting families, please see the intake process here.

For transferring families, while we don't require past medical records to establish care, to provide the best continuity of care for your child, we would like to request your child's immunization record and medical records from your prior pediatric provider. You can start that process now by visiting this page

If you have further questions, please feel free to call our office.

Do you offer prenatal consultations?

Yes! We would love to meet with you so that you can meet with your preferred provider (if you aren't sure who you would like to see we can help you decide), see our facility, and ask any questions about what to expect as member of the SouthernMED family. Please call our office to schedule a meeting with a provider today. 

If I am pregnant and I would like my baby to be your patient after they are born, what do I need to do?

Congratulations on your growing family! We are so glad that you have chosen us to be your primary provider and to trust us with your family's care! There is no pre-registration required before baby is born . As you prepare for delivery, your OB or the hospital where you are delivering will ask who you have chosen for your Pediatrician. Simply let them know that you have chosen SouthernMED Pediatrics and they will notify us once your bundle of joy makes their appearance. You and baby will follow up for the first time in our office typically 24-48 hours post discharge.

What are some additional resources that you would recommend?

An incredible tool with lots of information on various topics related to your child's well being is the American Academy of Pediatrics' healthychildren.org website
