New Patients

Choosing a pediatrician is a big decision—one that sets the stage for your child’s health and well-being. At Parkside Pediatrics, we are ready to provide a positive, compassionate space where your children have everything they need to truly thrive. Welcome to our clinic!

Joining the Parkside Pediatrics Family

To register your child as our patient, please contact our office directly. The Parkside Pediatrics team will be prepared to answer your questions, schedule your first visit, and discuss everything you need to establish care for your family.

New Patient Registration

On the day of your child’s first appointment, we ask that you come in early to complete your registration. For your convenience, you can download and print our New Patient Forms to complete before you arrive, or you can complete the paperwork at our office.

We recommend bringing the following to your first visit:

Insurance Information:

A copy of your insurance card so we can verify benefits, if applicable.

Medical Records:

A copy of your child’s health history.

Immunization Records:

Your child’s complete immunization record.

Photo ID:

A valid ID for the parent or legal guardian.

Your Questions:

A list of any specific concerns or transitions you’d like to discuss with us.

From there, our care team will be ready to provide your family with high-quality care and a joyful patient experience.

Clinic Policies

Partnership and transparency are at the heart of what we do. We ask that all new families review our Policies page prior to their first visit. Here, you will find information on our approach to care to ensure our clinic’s values align with your family’s needs.

Accepted Insurance

Parkside Pediatrics accepts most major insurance plans to help your family receive the care they need. If you have specific questions about your coverage, our team is happy to help you verify your benefits before your visit.

Our practice also welcomes self-pay patients. If you have any questions regarding these payment options, please contact us.

Get to Know Our Providers

We believe the best care starts with a strong relationship between your family and our providers. We collaborate closely with each other and our patients’ parents, ensuring we are always on the same page when it comes to your child’s health and happiness.

New Patient FAQs

How long do new patient appointments typically last?

At Parkside Pediatrics, we value an unhurried approach to care, so we typically schedule some extra time for your first visit. This allows our team to conduct a comprehensive exam, review your child’s medical history in detail, and listen to your goals and concerns as a parent without feeling rushed.

Can I register all of my children at once?

Absolutely! We would love to care for all of your little ones. When you contact our office, just let us know how many children you are transferring, and we will help you coordinate the paperwork and initial appointments for everyone at the same time.

How do I transfer my child’s medical records?

Once you’ve established care with Parkside Pediatrics, our team can help facilitate the transfer of records from your previous pediatrician.

Can I schedule a sick visit as my child’s first appointment?

To provide the most comprehensive care, we prefer to establish a relationship through a wellness visit first. However, we know life happens. If your child has an urgent need, please call our office, and we will do our best to coordinate their onboarding while helping them feel their best again.
