I'm sorry, I know this has been asked a million times but of course I didn't write the questions down and I am going to meet with a pedicatrician today. What are some good things to ask them aside from the obvious like their hours and stuff. TIA.
We recently met with ours and although she did an excellent job covering pretty much everything, it was nice to have a list.
Some questions:
- To what age will you see my child?
- Feelings on breastfeeding VS bottle feeding
- How often will they want to see your child
- Vacination schedule, is it flexible so the child doesn't have to get 4 shots at one visit
- Who will you talk to when you call the office with questions: NP or Dr?
- Do they have Saturday hours? Cost extra?
- Average wait to get a wellness appointment VS sick appointment
- Do they have a well and sick section in the waiting room
These are just a few of the ones i can remember us asking. We had a wonderful experience with our Ped and i look forward to working with her. Best of luck!

Re: Pediatrician Questions
There's a list of them on this site somewhere...
Try looking under the "3rd Tri" button at the top of the page?

Here's the link to a post where I asked the same question.... I liked the link of the form and then added a few of the others to it.
