Our Goal Is To Provide The Best Medical Care

For Newborns

Bringing a newborn to a new pediatric practice can be a prudent decision to ensure comprehensive care and support for your child's lifelong health. It allows for establishing a rapport with a pediatrician early on, fostering a sense of familiarity and trust crucial for ongoing care. 


For New Families Transferring To Us

When transferring a child to a new pediatric practice, it's essential to gather and organize all medical records, including vaccination records and any relevant test results. Communicate with both the current and new pediatric practices to ensure a smooth transition of care, providing necessary information about the child's medical history and ongoing treatments.


How to Become a New Patient

Please call our office to receive a New Patient Application. Applications are reviewed daily and parents are typically notified within 1 week.


West Alabama Pediatrics encourages our families already established with us to complete a New Patient Application so we can prepare for your new arrival.



To do this successfully, we must be able to review all of your medical records from all providers that you have seen. It is our policy to receive your previous medical records before we can assume care and schedule an appointment.


After Transferring Paperwork

Once the records are received, we will review them to determine if they are complete or sufficient for us to begin caring for your children. Unfortunately, we cannot treat or provide any care for your children until that time.


Please be aware that under federal (HIPAA) and state laws, your previous medical provider may charge a "reasonable, cost-based fee" to copy your children's medical records. This cost is your responsibility.


If you have not already done so, please sign a release of records form and provide it to your children's previous medical provider.
