Schedule Virtual Prenatal Consultation | Book Baby’s First Visit
Extended 30-45 minute appointments mean we answer every question without rushing you out. In-house lactation support eliminates the scramble for separate breastfeeding help when your baby won’t latch. Same-day sick visits may be available for appropriate concerns. For fever in a young infant, contact a clinician immediately rather than waiting for a routine visit.
We’re a newborn pediatrician Bellevue families trust because we understand those first weeks are overwhelming—and we built our practice around making them easier.
Every question answered, never rushed.
Same building, coordinated care. No separate appointments across town.
For fever in a young infant, contact a clinician immediately. Do not wait for a routine appointment.
New parents across Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Sammamish choose Thrive because we specialize in those anxiety-filled early days. Your baby’s first appointment takes 30-45 minutes, which gives us time to examine your newborn thoroughly, assess feeding and weight gain, and answer every question you’ve been Googling at 3am.
Most expecting parents wait until after birth to choose a pediatrician. That’s backwards. Thrive offers complimentary virtual prenatal consultations so you can meet your baby’s future pediatrician, ask questions about our approach, and feel confident in your choice—all from home at 36 weeks pregnant.
During your 15-minute virtual consultation, we discuss our newborn care philosophy, walk through what happens at early visits, explain our lactation support services, and answer questions about feeding, sleeping, and those first confusing weeks.
What makes our newborn care different:
Your pediatrician sees your baby within their first week of life. We schedule appointments 2-5 days after hospital discharge to catch feeding concerns, weight loss, etc, and help anxious parents feel confident they’re doing everything right.
Lactation support is available in the same suite as pediatric care. If your newborn struggles with breastfeeding, you don’t need separate appointments across town. Our lactation consultant works alongside the pediatric care team, allowing us to coordinate care seamlessly. Learn more about lactation support.
Tongue tie evaluation and treatment on-site. Approximately 10% of newborns have tongue tie affecting feeding. If we identify tongue tie during examination, we evaluate and treat it right here using advanced CO2 laser technology—no separate specialist referrals, no months-long waits. Most babies feed better immediately after treatment. Learn more about tongue tie treatment.
Same-day appointments when concerns arise. Contact a clinician promptly about illness concerns in a newborn. For babies 3 months old or younger with a rectal temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, call your pediatrician immediately; do not wait for a routine appointment. Learn more about same-day sick visits.
Bring your hospital discharge paperwork, insurance cards, and any questions you’ve been collecting. We’ll weigh and measure your baby, perform a complete physical examination from head to toes, assess feeding (whether breast or bottle), check for jaundice with non-invasive screening if needed, discuss sleep safety and SIDS prevention, and review the vaccination schedule.
First-time parents often worry about “bothering” the doctor with questions. Here’s the truth: no question is too small. Is that rash normal? Why does baby sneeze so much? Should their poop look like that? We answer everything during your 45-minute appointment.
Our office is located at 1515 116th Ave NE, Suite 104, Bellevue, WA 98004, near Overlake Medical Center. New parents juggling car seats and diaper bags appreciate easy parking.
We accept all major insurance including Premera, Aetna, Regence, Cigna, Kaiser PPO, United Healthcare, and Apple Health (Medicaid).
Whether your baby arrives next week or next month, now is the time to establish pediatric care. Start with a complimentary virtual prenatal consultation to meet your baby’s future pediatrician and ask questions before the chaos of those first days.
