When Choosing a Pediatrician...

I am at the point now where i am going to start to look for a Pediatrician in my area...What are things i should be asking/looking for in one?

 

I found my pedi based off of recommendations from several of the nurses/staff in the NICU. My pedi has had a lot of experience with Preemie's and she came highly recommended in every other aspect as well. Good Luck in your search!

 

My OB actually recommended her. We moved to a new town and were searching for a new one.. ask around! I prefer hearing others experiences and then interviewing the peds, which is essentially what we did when we found our new peds for my five year old and the twins.

 

My OB gave me a few names of pedi's that she really liked & I ended up going with one of them :good:

 

We've been using our ped. since our oldest DD was born. We went off recommendations of a few friends. Do you have anyone that has kids that you can ask? I liked knowing that I knew people who used that ped and loved him. :good:

 

Ask, ask, ask! Ask friends, nurses, people on the street, etc. Also, see if there is a friend who you are similar to. Similar parenting style, ethics, etc. And if she's happy with her kid's ped. then I would start there. That's how I found ours!
