Do you send gifts to you doctor's office?

As of now, I have not.

If so, what do you usually give and when?
Do you give gifts around the holidays?

Re: Do you send gifts to you doctor's office?

I have been meaning to get the ped a gift for a while and haven't. I intend to this Christmas. Not sure what I will get - probably something personalized or edible. DD1 burned herself very bad last year and the ped was wonderful - we were in the hospital for a week and she called me everyday to check on DD and told me to call her any time day or night if I needed anything, so I really wanted to get something to show my appreciation.

I brought donuts and a box of joe to my 6w pp for my ob's office. I was really happy with my care during my pregnancy and delivery and wanted to say thank you. I wanted to get something better, but it was too hard with a 6 week old!

I think if your dr goes above and beyond it is nice to say thank you with a gift.

If my visit is around Christmas, or any other major holiday I bring some cookies, otherwise no.
I gave a gift to my OB, but with all my complications I saw him 2-3 times a week and I got bagels and coffee for NICU nurses when DS was there.

Same. Usually some kosher black and white cookies or something and I send a holiday card with the boy's pic on it.

The only doctor that I've ever given a gift to was my RE's office when I was discharged, and that was just a cookie platter.

I'm a big fan of my pediatrician but I am not sure why our relationship would warrant a gift to be honest.

Re: Do you send gifts to you doctor's office?

I did to my ob/gyn after delivery... edible arrangement... but that is bc I basically lived there and also I used to work there.
if a situation arose where I felt they went above and beyond, i'd probably bake something.
otherwise i'd just send a Christmas card at the holidays.

Re: Do you send gifts to you doctor's office?

I sent gifts of food to my obgyn/office at the delivery of both of my children. I also brought an edible arrangement to the PT who helped me for 6 months. Other doctors, no. I do not send gifts. I would only do so for going above and beyond to help me in times of need. I pay them for their services, that should be enough.
