Appointments – Better Pediatrics

Schedule an Appointment

Pre-natal Appointments

Having a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. We encourage new parents to schedule a visit with our office. This visit allows expectant parents to: tour our office, meet the doctor and have any of your baby care questions answered. Our prenatal consultations are offered by appointment in our office at no cost. Please contact our office to schedule an appointment.

Once you have chosen us as your pediatrician you do not need to contact our office. Simply inform your OB/GYN prior to delivery that you have selected Dr. Esterov and the hospital will notify us of your child’s birth. The doctor will come see your baby within 24 hours. During these hospital visits, the doctor will ensure your newborn baby is healthy by:

Performing several physical examinations
Reviewing labs
Monitoring the baby’s weight
Monitoring the jaundice level

Well Care Visits

We strive to ensure that our patients receive routine preventative care, necessary education, and support to maintain optimal physical and emotional well-being. During ‘Well-Care’ visits, we thoroughly check your child’s general physical condition and development. We schedule well care visits for our newborn patients at separate times of the day so that their exposure to sick patients is minimal.

Sick and Emergency Visits

We realize that having an ill child at home is stressful. Dr. Esterov is committed to alleviating your child’s discomfort as soon as possible. If the office is open, she sees all sick patients on the same day that you call.

After Hours Care

After-hours telephone calls on weekdays, weekends and holidays are handled by a 24 hour medical answering service. Please make sure that all of the information given to the operator is correct and your telephone accepts restricted numbers. Messages are relayed to Dr. Esterov immediately and you should expect a return call within 15 to 30 minutes.
The doctor will determine whether the situation can be handled by phone and see you in the office the next morning or whether it will be necessary for you to proceed with your child to the nearest emergency room.
