I searched the board and didn't see anything about this yet. I'm getting ready to start looking for a pediatrician, but really have no idea what to ask! As a FTM I'm not really sure what I'm looking for other than they are nice and believe in vaccinating. So STM's what questions should be asking when I meet with them?
Thanks!!

Re: Pediatrician Questions for STM
(Can you tell I had a bad experience?)
Ask about sick visits. Will they see you same day? My pediatrician's office will see you within an hour or so for a sick visit.

Also, if there is more than one doctor how do they work. The office we go to has teams where each doctor has 2 nurse practitioners that work with them. So for a well visit DD will always see one of the same three people. Sick visits I usually just take the first spot they have available.

I'm a FTM but LO will see the same pediatrician I did. I saw her until I was 21 and I know much hasn't changed since then. I just plan on calling and asking what I need to do. I've been told by a co-worker that I need to call because of space and availability. I'm crossing my fingers there is space. I loved when I saw her.
Something that was really important to us, is that our Dr is on the same wavelength as us. We wanted someone who supported breastfeeding, wasn't quick to give out antibiotics, got to know our daughter, etc. she doesn't talk down to us and explains everything to us. She encourages us to ask questions. She can even recognize when our daughter is not herself.
