Expecting Parents

Congratulations! We are so excited for your bundle of joy!

We hope this page helps you learn more about our practice and know what to expect from our providers!

Prenatal Visits

We offer complimentary prenatal visits, during which you can tour our offices, meet our staff and providers, and have all your individual questions answered!

Expert, Thorough, Dedicated Care

Our providers are experts on newborn and infant care! All of our providers are board-certified. Several of them serve as instructors at the Baby Care Basics courses held at Calvert Health Medical Center. Our physicians will typically come to the nursery at Calvert Health Medical Center to examine your newborn every day that you are admitted (note: during the wintertime this may not always be the case as we try to limit exposures to new babies, so if we are unable to come to see your newborn, there will be a pediatric hospitalist who will examine your baby in the hospital). We accept newborns delivered at short-stay midwifery centers and perform newborn screens (PKU testing) in-office as well as help arrange for your infant's hearing screen.

Convenient Locations and Hours

We offer both evening and Saturday hours with two convenient locations to serve you and your families: Prince Frederick and Dunkirk, Maryland. You are going to have nearly 10 appointments during your child's first year of life, so we want these visits to be as convenient as possible!

Same-Day Sick Visits

When your child is sick, the last thing you want to do is have to wait in the ER or Urgent Care. If your child is sick, please call our office for a same-day sick appointment, and we will try our best to get them in to be seen as soon as we can! 

Lactation Support

In addition to your newborn's well checks, we offer lactation consultation visits in our office.

Televisit Appointments

We offer Telemedicine visits (HIPAA compliant Videochatting). Sometimes, you just need to discuss medications, but don't have time to come into the office. Not a problem - contact our front desk to arrange for a telemedicine visit!

Social Media Savvy Docs

Our pediatricians post regularly on our Facebook and Instagram pages @DrMehtaPediatrics. Check them out for tips on things like preventing bug bites and our favorite sunscreens!

Convenient Scheduling and Record Access

You can access your medical records through our patient portal (Healow), and confirm or cancel your appointments through the text message you will receive prior to your appointment.

Vaccination Policy

We firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines for preventing serious and potentially deadly illness. Vaccines save lives. Vaccinating children may be the single most important thing you as a parent can do to protect your child's health.  Please see our vaccination policy page for more information.
