Meet Your Baby's Doctor Before Birth
Prenatal Pediatric Visit
Please note: ASB Medical Clinic is a pediatric practice. We do not provide obstetric care, pregnancy monitoring, ultrasounds, or labor and delivery services. Please continue your prenatal care with your OB-GYN or midwife. Our role is to prepare you for your baby’s health, starting with the newborn’s very first checkup.

Your OB-GYN and Your Pediatrician: Who Does What
Your OB-GYN or midwife cares for you during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Dr. Banas cares for your baby after birth, from the first newborn checkup through childhood. A prenatal pediatric visit connects the two, so the handoff after delivery is smooth.
Frequently Asked & Questions
Do you provide prenatal care or deliver babies?
No. We are a pediatric clinic. Your pregnancy care stays with your OB-GYN or midwife. We meet with expecting parents to prepare for the baby’s care after birth.
When should we schedule a prenatal pediatric visit?
Most families come in during the third trimester, but any time in the last few months of pregnancy works well.
Who should come to the visit?
Both parents are welcome, and so are grandparents or other caregivers who will help with the baby.
Why choose a pediatrician before the baby is born?
The hospital will ask which pediatrician will follow your newborn. Choosing early means one less decision in the final weeks of pregnancy.
What should I ask during the visit?
Ask about office hours, how to reach the doctor after hours, newborn checkup timing, feeding support, and our approach to vaccines.
Is the visit available in Polish?
Yes. Dr. Banas and our team offer consultations in English, Polish, Spanish, and Russian.
