New Parents
If you are expecting your first child, we've set aside time for you
to meet one of our doctors. The purpose of this meeting is to help
first time parents decide if Mia Bella Pediatrics is the perfect
medical home for their new baby. Please call us at 949-206-0001
to schedule a time that works for you.
Delivering Your Baby
If you deliver at Saddleback or Mission Hospital, all you need to do
is notify the hospital staff of your choice of doctor at the time of
pre-registration or by the time of the delivery. The doctors round
daily on newborns at both hospitals. If your baby is born at a
different hospital, we are happy to take over care after discharge.
Feel free to complete our office paperwork in advance of your first
office visit by clicking on the Form tab on this website. Our patient
portal is also available to register your child and your contact
preferences. The portal will allow you to view your child's medical
information, send messages to the office, complete well check
surveys and request appointments.
Don't forget to make sure your insurance company adds the baby
to your policy as soon after delivery as possible.
Breast Feeding Services
We offer lactation consultations in our office with Teresa, a
Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation
Consultant. Our goal is to support and educate mothers while
they learn to nurse in a supportive and encouraging environment.
We also have a breast feeding room where mothers can feed
their babies privately after visits.
