We host meet and greets with our Board Certified Pediatricians every other Wednesday at noon with Dr. Fatema Buhkari, in our Sterling location. Call us to schedule: 703-777-5222.

Registration

Parents should call to schedule the Newborn Follow Up appointment once the baby has been discharged or when they have been notified of discharge for the baby. Typically we recommend seeing the baby within 2-3 days of discharge from the hospital with a healthy delivery.

Please follow directions of the treating physician at the hospital when scheduling the first appointment. All registration paperwork can be found on our website and completed prior to your visit. If you prefer to complete the paperwork in the office, kindly arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment.

Please bring a valid insurance card and photo ID to the first visit.

Take An Office Tour

• Any paperwork from the hospital, including hearing screen results and immunization records.
• Any available insurance information (often only the parent’s insurance is available at the first visit).
• Plenty of diapers and an extra set of clothes.
• Completed new patient forms prior to the visit to help make the appointment as smooth as possible.
  

A few weeks before delivery, call the office to let us know you are expecting.

You may want to download and fill out our paperwork ahead of time.

When the happy day has arrived, you can tell the hospital staff that you have chosen us as your pediatrician.
