EAR PIERCING

Nest Pediatrics is excited to offer ear piercing. We use the Blomdahl Medical Ear Piercing system which is only available to medical professionals. Your child will receive professional care from a trained pediatric provider. The sterile, single-use, disposable cassettes reduce the risk of infection and transmission of blood borne pathogens.

We offer a variety of styles of earrings that you and your child may choose from. The provided earrings are made of titanium or medical grade plastic, which prevent development of nickel allergy.

The cost of ear piercing is $125—including the earrings, lidocaine cream to reduce pain, the procedure, and a box of after-care cleansing wipes.

PROCEDURE RESTRICTIONS

We will provide ear piercing for infants age 3 months and older who have received their first set of vaccines, including DTaP, at least two weeks prior.

We will not hold an older child down for this procedure as it is an elective cosmetic procedure. Our staff may cancel a procedure for any reason, including for safety due to the child’s inability to cooperate.

We only pierce earlobes. We do not pierce cartilage or other body parts.

We offer this service to anybody in the community, not only our pediatric patients.

PAYMENT

Payment is due in full when you check in for your ear piercing appointment. Since this is a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by your insurance and it will not be billed to your insurance.

EAR PIERCING APPOINTMENTS

You may schedule an ear piercing visit with Michelle, which would be to solely perform the medical ear piercing procedure. You may also do this at the same time as a routine well care visit. If you desire to have your child’s ears pierced at one of these visits, please notify us in advance so that we may schedule your child for additional time to have this procedure performed.

For further information on ear piercing, please call our office.

See our FORMS page for consent forms.
