Pediatricians office....which would you prefer?

A smaller office with just two doctors or a larger office of around 6 doctors? Also, what are the pros and cons of an office having a nurse practicioner?

I cant completely answer your question, but I prefer the smaller drs office for Logan. My drs office only has one doctor.. he is the one who saw him in the hospital when he was born and when he was was sick. Every time we have an appointment I feel a lot better knowing that he is with the doctor that has known him since birth.

I take my son to the very same pediatric group that my husband went to when he was a child.. they have 3 pediatricians and all of them have seen my son.. They were also the peds. doing rounds at the hospital where I delivered, so they have seen my son from day 1. They also have late hours and are opened 7 days a week. I've seen all 3 doctors at the office (although there's one that I prefer over the others), but they all have office hours at the same time.

Good luck with your decision

I like my pediatric group which has a few doccotrs I basically see the same 3 doctors and they all have seen my daughter since birth since they are affiliated with the hospital that I gave birth in. THey are open 7 days a week and open late during the week.

IMO I think the practices with more doctor's are open later andd are most likely to be open 7 days a week this is what I have found out when I was looking for a pediatrician.

Re: Pediatricians office....which would you prefer?

I go to a practice w/ four dr's and two nurse practioners, they have longer hrs and more days open, etc..

I only see two of the drs though and never see the nurse practioners. I ask them questions on the phone but I prefer seeing the dr's for her shots/visits, but thats just me :) I am sure the NP's are fine but I'd rather see the same dr.
