FAQ
Expecting :
Do you offer Prenatal Visits ?
Yes, choosing your baby’s pediatrician is a very important decision. You should be comfortable with the doctor and should have all your questions answered ahead of time. We offer a personal "Meet and Greet" visit at the office. Please call our office or email me at drsevilla@wholechildpediatrics.com to schedule the visit. We have bi weekly PRENATAL GROUP VISIT held regularly at the office. During this session you have the chance to meet the pediatrician, tour the office and receive a packet of information about the practice.
How do I notify the practice that I had the baby ?
Usually the hospital will notify the practice of your baby’s birth. Usually our pediatrician will see the baby later that day or in the morning if the baby was born at night.

What is the practice’s position on Vaccines?
One of the cornerstones of our practice's philosophy is the focus on prevention. We area convinced that it is much better to prevent a disease from developing in the first place that treating it. We believe that vaccines have played a very important role in preventing disease this century.
The other large cornerstone of the practice philosophy is the focus on Patient Centered Care . We view the family as an equal partner and encourage parents to be active, empowered and informed. We understand that parents have questions and concerns about vaccines. My role as your child's pediatrician is to be a guide and an information source. I am here to help you sort out through the sea of information available to everyone in the 21st century. I strongly believe in having an open and honest discussion about the benefits and risks of vaccines so families can make informed decisions about this important issue in your child's health. We respect any decision made by an active, informed family in our practice.
What happens if my child is sick during the time that the office is closed ?
We provide coverage 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In order to do this we share our on-call with a group of 7 other Board Certified Pediatricians. You can call our usual office number and at any time and you will be connected to the on call pediatrician. |
