Pediatricians
Have you chosen your pediatrician yet? Most physicians are chosen based on professional qualifications and reputation in the community. The best place to begin is by asking for recommendations from your physicians, family, and friends. Many pediatricians would be happy to schedule a consultation with you prior to delivery. When choosing a pediatrician, consider the following: Are they on your health care insurance plan? Is their office accessible to you – in proximity and with office hours? Do you have similar philosophies about health issues such as vaccinations, preventive medicine, and family relationships?
