  • Choosing a Pediatrician is a very important decision for soon to be parents. Requesting an interview with a Pediatrician should be a top priority. We offer FREE newborn conferences where you can come to our office, meet one of our Pediatricians, and take a tour of our office. One of our doctors will meet with you and answer any questions you might have before your bundle of joy arrives.

    • Start your search for the perfect pediatrician MONTHS before the birth of your baby
    • It’s an important decision that will “last” for two decades
    • It gives you plenty of time to make the “right” decision for YOU and your family

    These conferences with our physicians are held Monday through Friday at either 6:30 am or 12:30 pm. Call our office today at 727-447-6458 to set up an appointment for a newborn conference.

     

  • Childhood is a time of rapid growth and change. Your child will have more pediatric well-child visits when they are younger and developing the fastest. Each visit includes a complete physical examination. At this exam, the health care provider will check the infant or child’s growth and development to find or prevent problems.

    The health care provider will record your child’s height, weight, and other valuable information on a growth chart. Hearing, vision, and other screening tests will be part of some visits.

    Even if your child is healthy, well-child visits are important because it is the right time to focus on your child’s wellness. Preventive care is important to keep children healthy. Well-child visits are key times for communication. Make the most of these visits by writing down important questions and concerns to bring with you.

    I feel so relieved and blessed that we met Dr. Greg. You Floridians are lucky to have such a genuine and kind pediatrician! I couldn't recommend him or his staff more.
