Have an infant who needs a followup clinic appointment

 Wish to have a second opinion or transfer their infant to the NICU

First discuss this wish with your baby's doctor, and she/he must then arrange for transfer of your infant's care. Your doctor should call the NICU at (314) 454-6037 or (800) 333-NICU and ask to speak with the attending doctor. If you or your physician wishes to ask general questions about your baby and our NICU, please feel free to contact Dr. Aaron Hamvas (Director of the NICU) or Dr. F. Sessions Cole (Division Director).

 Wish to see a neonatologist before their infant is born

Ask your doctor (obstetrician, family practitioner) or nurse midwife to refer you to one of the obstetricians in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. At the time of your appointment, please indicate that you also wish to speak with a neonatologist. We will be happy to discuss with you the implications of your child's possible problem(s), give you a tour of the neonatal intensive care unit, and help you to meet pediatric surgical and medical subspecialists who might be involved with your baby's care after birth.
