Prenatal Visits
A free prenatal visit in your third trimester to meet Dr. Viswanadham, see the office, and plan your baby’s first weeks: feeding, vaccines, safe sleep, what happens at the hospital and when we see you afterwards.
About prenatal visits
Choosing a pediatrician before your baby is born makes the first week calmer. Come in, ask everything, and leave with our number already in your phone.
The full plan for expecting parents is on one page: the sign-up form, the newborn workshop, what to tell the hospital and the Medicaid steps for your baby. Read the expecting a baby guide.
What we cover
- How to reach us from the hospital and when the first visit happens

What to expect at the visit
About 20 minutes with the provider. No exam and no pressure.
Need help outside office hours?
When the office is closed, call the main number, (770) 615-7000. After hours the call goes to our after-hours line for urgent concerns. Use the patient portal for anything that can wait until the next business day. In an emergency, call 911.
Questions parents ask
Is the prenatal visit really free?
Yes. It is a conversation, not a medical visit.
Is this the same as a pediatrician meet-and-greet?
Yes. Many parents call it a meet-and-greet. Request one with the form on the expecting a baby page or call or text (770) 615-7000. It takes about 20 minutes with the provider, any time after about 28 weeks.
