How Do I Become a New Patient?

Having a baby? Thinking about transferring care?

We are excited to meet you! To provide the best care possible, please fill out the New Patient Paperwork by clicking the link below. Once you have submitted the completed form, please call the office to schedule your first appointment.


It’s essential that we have access to your child's complete health records. These records help us understand their medical history, any past treatments, and any ongoing health needs. Please make sure to provide all relevant healthcare records before your scheduled appointment with us. Fill out the Medical Records Release Form and we can contact your previous pediatrician to obtain records. This allows us to ensure a smooth transition and deliver the highest quality care for your child.

Transferring Paperwork

Please sign a Medical Records Release Form and provide it to your child's previous medical provide or allow us to send the form.

Please be aware that under federal (HIPAA) and state laws, your previous medical provider may charge a "reasonable, cost-based fee" to copy your child's medical records. This cost is your responsibility. This fee may be waived if records are sent directly to our office.

  • Meet & Greet

    To become a new patient at our practice, whether you're preparing to welcome a new baby or transferring care, we encourage you to schedule a Meet & Greet. This personalized session, in person or via telehealth, gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have, explore our care philosophy, and get to know our dedicated pediatrician in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It's a great way to ensure our practice is the right fit for your family’s needs. We’re here to support you every step of the way, and we can’t wait to welcome you to our community!

  • For Newborns

    Choosing a pediatrician for your newborn is an exciting first step in giving them the best start in life. It's not just about check-ups; it's about building a trusted relationship with a pediatrician who will guide you every step of the way. This strong connection lays a supportive foundation for your child's growth and well-being, from tracking milestones to addressing health concerns.


    After delivery, a hospital staff pediatrician will examine your baby.  Please schedule a comprehensive first visit at our office within 1-2 days of discharge. This first visit ensures a detailed examination and allows your pediatrician to address any questions.


    Remember to add your new baby to your insurance policy within 30 days of birth to secure coverage. If required, select Dr. Fouts-Fowler as your baby's primary care provider. Don't forget to bring any hospital records regarding your baby's health to your first office visit.

  • For Transferring Families

    To ensure a smooth transition to our practice: 


    Gather and organize all medical records, including vaccination and test results. 


    Communicate with both your current and new pediatrician to provide necessary information about your child's medical history and ongoing treatments. Receiving previous medical records is crucial for a new practice to review and assume regular care.
