Pediatric Care
Newborn Care
Confident, caring guidance for the first weeks and months of your baby's life.
Newborn care covers the checkups, growth monitoring, and parent guidance a baby needs from birth through the first few months of life. Dr. Youssef provides newborn care for families in Forest Hills, NY, starting with your baby's very first visit.
The newborn stage brings a lot of questions, and Dr. Youssef takes the time to answer all of them — feeding, sleep, growth, and everything in between. Early visits are focused on making sure your baby is thriving and that you feel supported as a new parent.
Your baby sees the same provider from the first visit, so he knows their history and growth.
