Choosing a doctor or advanced practice clinician (APC) to care for your baby or child and guide you through their growth and development is a very personal decision. An ARC Pediatric Meet & Greet is a free service to help expectant parents choose an ARC pediatrician or APC for your baby. In this meeting, you will learn about ARC Pediatrics and meet ARC pediatricians and APCs.

ARC pediatricians and APCs are available for personal in-clinic or virtual group ARC Pediatric Meet & Greet visits. We review our office operations and what we do at ARC to make health care easy, like 24/7 phone nurses, 24/7 online scheduling, and evening and weekend availability for sick visits and well-child checks.

Would you like to schedule a Virtual Pediatric Meet & Greet?
You can book a one-on-one visit with an ARC Pediatrician, and there is no charge for this visit. We have many ARC locations - is there an area of town you are interested in?
Locations where ARC pediatricians and APCs provide the newborn examination
ARC pediatricians and APCs provide newborn examinations at these area hospitals:
Families that deliver their baby at area hospitals other than those listed above will have a non-ARC provider see their baby while in the hospital. Families that deliver their baby at a birthing center or at home should talk with their chosen pediatrician or APC about when they should be seen for their baby’s first visit.
Lactation services
If you choose to breastfeed, your ARC pediatrician, APC, or care team can provide advice and recommendations. We also partner with The Breastfeeding Success Company (BFS) to support you with specialized educational materials, classes, and visits with a lactation consultant if necessary. BFS is a local group of board-certified lactation consultants, NICU-registered dietitians, and childbirth educators. Your ARC pediatrician or APC can refer you to lactation services if needed.
