What questions do i ask

When trying to find a pediatrician?

What questions do i ask

I googled and found a list on thebump.com. I followed a lot of those questions since they were mainly my concerns. I didn't ask the ones I didn't like.

Re: What questions do i ask

We are meeting with one on Friday. I plan on asking:

1- How flexible they are with vaccine the schedule. I know there's lots of controversial issue on how to space them out so I plan on doing my research beforehand and want to work with a doctor who will work with me on that rather than have a 'one size fits all' plan.

2- They must do bloodwork in office

3- What is the procedure for when I bring the baby in since they don't have a sick/well room? I know they say newborns tend to get early appts and go directly into a room rather than waiting- but what about when he gets a little older?

4- Do they have a connection with a lactation consultant? (I heard some peds offices do)

5- I know my office doesn't have 'official' Sunday hours but the doctors are in on Sundays for sick appts. What are those hours like and how easy is it to get an appt on that day?


That's all I got so far
