I know this has been posted before...

But i cant find it. Im meeting our pediatrician tomorrow-any advice on what to ask?

Re: I know this has been posted before...

  • The most important questions for me are:

    What are their feelings/flexibility on vaccinations?

    What are their feelings on antibiotics and misuse?

    Do they do any type of holistic or natural care?

    But most importantly, I look for a care provider that is just on the same page as me.  For example, I have homebirths, so I need someone who is comfortable with that decision and other decisions I make - avoiding medication unless absolutely necessary, looking at my child holistically, etc.  I am looking for a good "vibe" if that makes sense.

        
  • I actually didn't like the first pedi we met with. I asked her about vaccines without stating my opinion and she rolled her eyes and answered in a sarcastic tone that some families don't vaccinate (implying they were crazy). Completely turned me off - my child will be vaccinated, but it was her tone and attitude that I didn't like. DH and I met with a second pediatrician and got a completely different vibe. The second one was so warm and welcoming, I felt so relaxed and at ease with her. The second one was not as tech savy as the first (first kept electronic medical records which our local children's hospital would have access to), DH liked the tech-saviness of the first, but we agreed to start off with the second pedi and if the lack of tech-saviness becomes an issue, we'll re-evaluate.
