- Pediatric CareOnce your child is born, it is important that you have many different plans put in place for them. You have probably already gotten started by setting up a nursery or by buying several adorable newborn outfits for them to wear, but one plan of particular importance that many parents forget to consider during the prenatal process is selecting their pediatrician. The board-certified pediatricians at Westside Pediatrics have extensive experience providing care to newborn babies and offering guidance to parents concerning their care.
