How to Choose a Pediatrician
A pediatrician plays an important role in your family, so it's crucial that you choose the right one for your baby. After all, children require regular wellness checks, so you'll be seeing a lot of your pediatrician. You need one who makes you feel comfortable whenever you have questions or need to talk about your child's health.
Start by getting family and friends to recommend pediatricians. The American Academy of Pediatrics has a list of board-certified pediatricians who work in your city. Medical societies will also refer you to board-certified pediatricians who are accepting new patients. Your local hospital can also refer you to pediatricians in your area.
Once you narrow down a list of pediatricians, arrange an appointment to interview them. Just sitting down with pediatricians for about ten minutes enables you to get an idea about their personalities and whether or not they will be a good fit for your family.
Think about what is most convenient for your family. If you work full time, you may want to find a pediatrician's office that offers later appointment times. Some pediatricians may even be open for a few hours on Saturday. Do you want a pediatrician whose office is close to your home or do you require one that's close to your job? These are all important questions you should consider before choosing a pediatrician for your baby.
When you discover that you're pregnant, searching for a pediatrician should be one of the first things on your to-do list. Setting up your nursery, buying diapers and purchasing adorable baby clothes are all important. Choosing a board-certified pediatrician is even more important to the health and well being of your newborn.
