Pediatrician

Has anyone started interviewing pediatricians? I'm thinking maybe I should start doing this.

    I haven't - I'm going to ask my doctor if he has any recommendations at my next visit.

    Our child will have a primary care manager assigned to her once she's enrolled in Tricare, so we don't do any interviewing. If we were civilian (or tricare standard) I would probably be doing my interviewing about now.

    This thread had a few responses regarding pediatrician vs family practice doctor and how people chose. https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/52804427.aspx

    I asked my OB who he recommended (just to have a name to start with). This practice has an open house once a month so I went to that. Luckily I LOVE them and have chosen them but I dont think it is too early to start interviewing or asking around. My newly chosen pediatrician's office was really helpful with providing information for me and they offer a lactation consultant for free through their practice which I love. Good luck!

    We aren't interviewing any.  We got numerous recommendations for the same practice/doctor, so we will be going with that one.

    We were going to interview pediatricians, but when I made a few phone calls the other day we made our decisions without any interviews. Only one office seemed awesome over the phone, and we have a few really good parent reviews from our neighborhood for them.

    That said, the office we are going with was the only office that offered interviews with a pediatrician.

    This.  Also I asked my OB yesterday and she said that the practice I beleive we are going to go with is a great choice as she has worked with them through our hospital.  She said it's more important to pick through word of mouth/recommendations than 'interviewing' them.  You might think you like one after talking with them for five minutes, but in the end they are not what/who you thought they were.  However friends with children are going to be straight with you about their choice.

    Thanks. I was actually only planning on interviewing pediatricians who were recommended to me by people I know.

    I still think its important to interview them regardless of how highly recommended they are.
