Yes! We have some evening slots available on Mondays and Tuesdays. In addition, we can see clients on weekends on a case-by-case basis. There is a small additional fee for weekend/holiday appointments, which insurance won’t cover. You can text us at (480) 618-7219 to discuss a potential weekend appointment.

Jot down any questions you want to discuss.
Fill out the medical intake and release form (emailed via IntakeQ) at least 24hrs prior to the consult.
The appointment time is an estimate, so I’ll text you if there are any schedule changes.
Have liquid soap and paper towels available for hygiene.
It would be great if your baby is ready to eat around 30 minutes after I arrive, so we have enough time to chat. A small feeding is fine if needed.
Clear a space on a table or floor for my scale, with a steady surface.
Have a swaddle blanket nearby for comfort when weighing your baby.
If you plan to pump, having your pump nearby would be handy.
If pets are a distraction, please keep them in another room.

Lactation services are covered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) through First Health Network, TriWest, and The Lactation Network (TLN). We can handle direct claims submission for reimbursement through these partnerships.
Phototherapy
-
Once your doctor recommends phototherapy, we guide you through a simple setup. A nurse will visit your home to show you how to use the equipment safely and answer any questions. The nurse will also track your baby’s health, weight, and bilirubin levels, reporting the results to your pediatrician for further steps.
-
If your provider has diagnosed your baby with jaundice and recommended home phototherapy, contact us via the phototherapy ordering form on our website, text, call, or email to get started. Alternatively, provide your pediatrician's contact info, and we’ll reach out to them directly. You can also visit our patient education page on Phototherapy for Infants with Jaundice for more information.

Physical Assessment: I will weigh your baby with a precise scale, check your baby’s mouth, and may check your breast.
Breastfeeding Observation: We’ll observe your current breastfeeding method and work together to improve it. I may also weigh your baby again after a feeding to measure milk transfer.
Pumping Support: If you want to work on pumping, please have your pump nearby.
Personalized Plan: We’ll create a tailored plan for your baby, lifestyle, and goals.
Follow-up: The first visit typically lasts 1-1.5 hours and includes two weeks of follow-up via secure messaging. I will share a detailed care plan, so you don’t have to remember everything.
Additional Support: Follow-up visits are available for further help, progress checks, and new ideas.
