New Patients
Everything you need before your first visit.
Before your first visit
- Call the office at (734) 488-8971 or send a message through the contact form, and we will find a time that works.
- Fill out the new patient forms. Download them from Policies & Forms and bring them completed.
- Sign a medical release. Once you sign it, we will request your child's records from your previous pediatrician.
- Check your insurance. We are finalizing contracts ahead of opening. Call and we will tell you exactly where things stand with your plan.
What to bring
- Insurance card and a photo ID
- Immunization records, if you have a copy
- Any old records from previous offices
- A list of medications, including vitamins and supplements
- Your questions. Write them down, because everyone forgets at least one.
How long it takes
Plan on about 45 to 60 minutes for a first visit. Dr. Maidlow would like time to go through history properly, meet your child without rushing, and answer whatever is on your mind. Follow-up visits are shorter.
Newborns
We see newborns within 24 to 72 hours of delivery. If your baby is born on a Friday, call on Friday to get an appointment scheduled for Monday. If your baby is born on a Saturday or Sunday, call the office first thing Monday morning and we will get you in.
Expecting a baby? Come meet Dr. Maidlow first.
Belleville Lake Pediatrics offers complimentary prenatal meet-and-greets for expecting families. You will meet Dr. Maidlow, tour the practice, learn about the office policies and what makes this practice unique, and have plenty of time to ask questions. You will also go home with helpful information on newborn care essentials, so the first week feels a little less like guesswork.
Call the office to schedule your meet-and-greet.
Meet and greets for everyone
You do not have to be expecting. Any family deciding on a pediatrician is welcome to come in, see the office, and meet Dr. Maidlow before committing.
Switching from another practice?
Sign one release form and we will handle the rest.
