  You are in CS right? Have you looked at the pedi's at UPA? I loved Kaley's pedi while I was there. I don't remember what questions I asked though.

  Yeah, that's where I'm planning to start.  Which doctor did Kaley see there?

  I had questions but she actually answered almost all of them while giving her intro spiel. Specific ones that I remember:

  - What is the after hours hotline policy (is there a charge; and now I'd be asking who specifically would be returning my call)

  - Would she see the baby in the hospital
  

  - What OTC meds should I have on hand and when should they be used
  

  - How do they handle sick/emergency appts

  - Is there a separate waiting area for newborns

  - Were they supportive of alt vax schedules (which might not matter in your situation)

  Dr. Schams

  I really liked him. He wasn't quick to jump to meds but did give them when absolutely needed. The wait was never too bad and I got in for sick visits pretty easily. They also have hours on saturdays for sick visits as well.
