What to expect

At your child’s first appointment, we’ll get to know your family and your child. We’ll ask about your family background, customs and how you make medical decisions. Please bring information about your family’s medical history, medications your child takes and any existing conditions or chronic health conditions. This helps us know if there are certain conditions we should be screening for.

Beyond addressing medical concerns, we also consider your child’s behavioral and social needs. Our doctors collaborate closely with child psychologists, dietitians and social workers throughout Nebraska Medicine to ensure your child receives comprehensive care that considers every aspect of their health and development.
