Pediatrics (Pediatricians)
Pediatricians specialize in the care of infants, children, and adolescents.
Pediatricians provide a range of services from well-child care, to basic childhood immunizations and illnesses, to managing complex medical conditions and chronic disorders.
Pediatricians provide a range of services from well-child care, to basic childhood immunizations and illnesses, to managing complex medical conditions and chronic disorders.
Our pediatricians are members of the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital team which means they work hand-in-hand with all pediatric specialists at UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital. The use of one electronic medical record for each patient ensures constant and timely communication between your child’s entire medical team.
Our Services
Find the right pediatrician
We have pediatrics at a number of convenient locations. Find the one that is right for you.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) season is here. This contagious virus can be worrisome for parents of young children. Learn more about which kids are most at-risk, how this virus spreads, tips for prevention, and how to monitor a child with RSV, including when to seek care. UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital pediatricians are always here for your family, whether healthy or sick.
Teens go through a lot of changes – physically and emotionally. An adolescent medicine specialist is a pediatrician who has three additional years of training working solely with teens and young adults to cover any health questions they may have.

Visits for expecting parents
It’s important to find a doctor you feel comfortable with, which is why we offer prenatal appointments. We recommend you schedule this appointment late in your second trimester or early in the third trimester so you have an opportunity to meet and discuss your baby’s care before his or her arrival.
Our pediatricians also staff the newborn nursery at the hospital, will check on your baby regularly, and answer any questions you may have. Before going home, we will help you schedule your baby’s first well-check visit. This appointment should take place within one to three days after going home from the hospital.

Well-child visits
Regular checkups are important to monitor your child’s growth and development and can help your doctor identify any problems early on. At a well-child visit, your pediatrician will address all health care and developmental questions and concerns you may have about your child. Regular well-child visits are scheduled at:
• First week
• 1 month
• 2 months
• 4 months
• 6 months
• 9 months
• 12 months
• 15 months
• 18 months
• 24 months
• 30 months
• 3 years
• Annually after 3 year
• First week

• Annually after 3 year
In Iowa, children who attend child care centers or are enrolled in school must show their immunization records to attend any facilities licensed by the state. Schools and sports teams require documentation that your child has had an annual well-child physical within the past year. Beat the rush and schedule a physical with your child’s primary care provider.
