How Pediatric Care Works at Dandelion Pediatrics
At Dandelion Pediatrics, care is designed to be personal, thoughtful, and unhurried. Years of caring for families have shown that good pediatric care requires time, communication, and a strong relationship with your pediatrician. Through a membership and cash-pay model, we are able to care for fewer families and offer longer visits, direct communication, and consistent guidance.
Our philosophy is simple: good pediatric care supports both the baby and the parents during the transition into parenthood and continues to guide families as children grow.
Families can begin care through one of the options below.
Fourth Trimester Services
Available as a 4-Week or 12-Week Bundle
The first weeks of your baby’s life are profound, overwhelming, and fleeting all at once.
Our Fourth Trimester Program was designed for families who want more than a standard well visit — you want a physician who knows your baby before they arrive, is there when you need them most, and treats both baby and mother as one unit.
How it works
Your journey begins during your third trimester with a prenatal visit — before your baby is born.
We’ll discuss your birth plan, what to expect during delivery and the postpartum period, how to prepare your home, and what you actually need (versus what you don’t). This is your chance to ask every question you’ve been holding and to know your pediatrician is already in your corner.
