Question 1. Meeting a Pedi tomorrow, what questions to ask?....

Mrs.HisOnlyMrs.HisOnly member

So this week I'm full of questions so please bear with me lol  

First.....

We made an appointment to see Dr. Ginsburg (he's in the same practice as Dr. Kuhn) tomorrow. I'm assuming they have a list of things they go over with you at these pre-natal appt's but what questions should I be asking?

I have no clue!

I know what their hours are because that's the reason why we made an appointment with them. Any suggestions etc would be greatly appreciated.

TIA!

    what hospital are the affiliated with?  if the baby has a fever or something, who calls back when you call the after hour number- a doctor or a nurse?  are htey opened on the weekends and, if so, is it walk ins only?  do they have a nursery for newborns?  a sick/well waiting room? 

     if you decide you're not going to follow the AAP guidlines to immunizations, are they ok with that? 

    other than that, i'm pretty sure all drs offices are the same!  those are the only things I asked when I called to make an appt the first time, but I never interviewed beforehand.  All my cousins go to our pedi, and they've been going for over 14 years to her, so I trusted the word of mouth!

    Will he go to the hospital when the baby is born? How soon after the baby is born does he want to see the baby? Are the well-child visits seen in a different area than sick children? Do they do lab work there or would you have to go elsewhere? Does he follow AAP guidelines for visits and vaccinations? Does he have special appointments set aside on a daily basis if you ever need a last minute appointment?

    I really like Dr Ginsburg too!!!!  You'll like the office. 

    When i went to go see them, they really answered most of my questions during the office tour and intros.  Other than that, I think  you got some good suggestions from some of the others.  good luck :)
