Why Choose Us for Primary Care

Why Choose Us for Primary Care

Your baby deserves the best possible care from day one. When the time comes for everyday, routine primary care—for check-ups, immunizations and everything in between—you can see a highly skilled Riley pediatrician at locations throughout the state. It’s expert pediatric primary care from Indiana’s most trusted name in healthcare for kids.

The right care for your baby, on your schedule

Choosing a pediatrician for your baby is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make about their healthcare. Our board-certified pediatricians provide everyday primary care for newborns through young adults—at locations that offer extended hours, Saturday and Same-Day appointments, 24/7 online scheduling, Virtual Visits and more.

To find the right Riley pediatrician for your baby, browse the list of providers near you and watch their online bio videos. If you would like to get to know a pediatrician better before scheduling your baby’s first appointment, we also offer in-person Get-to-Know-You visits. During each 20-minute visit, you can meet one-on-one with a pediatrician to determine whether they are a good match for you and your family.

Questions to Ask When Choosing a Pediatrician for Your Baby

When choosing a pediatrician for your newborn, here are a few questions to ask during your first call or visit:

  • Are you accepting new patients?
  • Do you accept my insurance?
  • Is the office easy to get to and what are the hours?
  • Are there evening or weekend hours?
  • Do you offer Saturday and Same-Day appointments?
  • What if my baby gets sick when the office is closed?
  • If I have questions between appointments, how are they handled?

Comprehensive Primary Care for Newborns and Kids

Our highly skilled primary care providers take care of all of your baby’s health needs through a wide range of services, including:

  • Well-child visits. These visits are recommended appointments to keep an eye on your child’s growth and development. Because children grow so quickly, it is important to schedule these visits so your child’s doctor can catch and treat any health problems early.
  • Sick and acute care visits. If your baby is sick, we provide quick care to help them feel better. We diagnose conditions and give your baby the medicines or other treatments they need.
  • Immunizations. To stay on track with your baby’s vaccination schedule, our providers can help you understand which vaccines your baby needs and when. Flu shots are important to get each year as children often have more severe flu-related problems, such as a higher risk of pneumonia, than adults.

Breastfeeding Support

If you need a breast pump, IU Health Expressions Home Medical Equipment can help you find the best fit for you and have it delivered right to your door. And because breast pumps are covered by most insurance plans, IU Health Expressions even works with your insurance provider and doctor to file an insurance claim on your behalf. Call Expressions at 844.231.1627 or visit iuhealth.org to learn more.

Childbirth Education Classes

The arrival of a new baby is one of the most meaningful times in life, not only for parents, but also for family members and friends. To help prepare for this experience, we offer a variety of classes, workshops and support groups about caring for newborns, breastfeeding and more. Explore the schedule of current programs available online and in-person near you.

Maternity Matters Podcast

Riley Children’s Health is changing the way moms and babies are cared for in Indiana. In our Maternity Matters podcast, our highly skilled providers offer expert tips for expectant and new parents—including what to expect during delivery, postpartum recovery, what to keep in mind when bringing baby home from the hospital and much more.
