What to expect at your visit
Preparation for postpartum appointment: You do not need to bring your baby hungry to the visit. Very hungry babies do not feed well and are hard to settle! Try to feed your baby a little about one hour before your visit start time.
Please bring anything you typically use for feeding (bottle, pumped milk, nipple shield, etc) to the visit. You don't need to bring a pump unless you need help with the pump. I have a few seating options and a nursing pillow. I have a hand pump you can use but do not stock multi-user pumps. I do not keep formula or donor milk in the office.
Parking: there is street parking all around the building or two nearby parking garages. Paid street parking downtown starts July 10 and will cost $1.50 per hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. It can take a few minutes to find parking especially on weekends.
Parking in city-owned parkade remains free for up to three hours. You can pay using cash, coin or card at pay stations or using the Beep Beep Salem app.
Entrance: The elevator entrance to the building is on Court St NE next to Honey & Co restaurant. There is also a stairs entrance but be careful because it's steep!
Take the elevator up and enter through the door to your right. Go down the hall and take a right to go through the double doors to Suite 280 - be careful as there is a slight slope going through the double doors. If the door is open or cracked, come on in! Our neighbors appreciate any efforts to keep baby calm in respect of their clientele.

Follow up: We have 55 minutes allotted for your visit from the booked starting time. Any concerns or questions we aren't able to cover at that visit can be addressed at follow up visits or via telehealth. I can also arrange a 1 day follow up phone call to go over any immediate questions and so you can let me know how the plan is going for you. I will send you a Care Plan by the end of the day and can answer any questions through email, as well.
​
Payment: For self pay patients, I can accept cash, Venmo, or checks at the time of your visit. I cannot accept HSA cards or other forms of payment. A receipt is available upon request.
For patients who are billing through insurance, any billing questions can be directed to Patient.relations@lcsofamerica.com as I do not have access to that information.
​
If you are running late and need to notify me or want to make a same day cancellation, please notify me!
Megan@bloom-lactation.com is my only email address and I will not get replies sent by the automation appointment notifications and reminders.
My system sends automatic email reminders to book follow ups. These emails are not sent by me and I cannot opt you out. You can opt yourself out of the emails by following the instructions in the email.
