Make an appointment at The Nursing Mother's Place by calling 704-384-7515 Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. Because of the urgency of feeding issues, we strive to see you as soon as possible. Please schedule your appointment at your baby's feeding time.
Avoid feeding or pumping two-three hours before your appointment. This will allow us to better assess your situation. Please bring all pump parts and supplies to your appointment. We will also need your insurance card, even though you will have registered by phone.
To register, call 704-384-8127. If you are prompted to leave a message, please leave your name, delivery hospital, social security number and phone number. Otherwise, our registration staff will assist you. Please have your insurance information handy. This process allows us to file your fees for the consultation visit and medically-indicated pump rentals to your insurance carrier.
If your doctor sends you to The Nursing Mother's Place from a physician office, you may register when you arrive.
