Curated Resources to Help You Stay More Informed
Green Tree Pediatrics is here to help you navigate all the different aspects of caring for your children at all stages, from having a baby all the way until your child turns 21.
Expecting Parents
We like to see babies within 24-48 hours from the time you leave the hospital, and schedule typically 2 appointments within the first week. Although it seems like we are hovering, these early days are important and full of various challenges while learning what is normal for your baby. Remember there are no bad questions! We are here to support you and your newborn to keep them happy and healthy.
After You Go Home
Get to know your doctor before you deliver! We offer free appointments for getting to know new patients, so if you aren’t already a Green Tree Family, call to arrange for a meet the doctor. If you are already a Green Tree family, you can contact the office to notify us of your due date and hospital where you will be delivering. You’re welcome to come in to discuss any concerns that you have regarding your baby.
Before You Deliver
If you’ve set up your baby as a patient at Green Tree, please contact us by phone or through the portal to let us know you’ve delivered. This allows us to touch base with you to see how things are proceeding after your delivery. We also have computer access at University of Michigan, St. Joseph and Henry Ford to follow things virtually. Our close working relationship with hospitalist groups at hospitals make the transition from Hospital to Home seamless.

Articles We Love
Ages & Stages
Because your child's first 5 years of life are so important, we want to help you provide the best start for your child. You've been invited to participate in the Ages & Stages Questionnaires, Third Edition (ASQ-3), to help you keep track of your child's development.
The questionnaire may be provided every 2-, 3- or 6-month period. You will be asked to answer questions about some things your child can and cannot do. The questionnaire includes questions about your child's communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal social skills.
The questionnaire is part of the check-in for your child’s Well Visit. Please give yourself 10-15 minutes to complete this portion of the check-in. Your provider will go over the results at the visit.
Healthy Child Information
Here are some links to great resources from the State of Michigan and the Centers for Disease Control. Please remember to save the tick if you think you find one on a child or pet.
