The American Pregnancy Association recommends these as a starter list of questions.
- What is your educational background?
- What hospital would you admit my child to in an emergency?
- What is your philosophy concerning breastfeeding?
- Do you have separate waiting areas for sick children and healthy children?
- What is your philosophy on medication?
- If I cannot speak to you when I call, will your nurse be available immediately?
- Does your office accept my insurance plan or handle payment arrangements?
Altering your list may be needed. Add questions that are important to you and your family. There are never too many questions while choosing a pediatrician for your baby.
In the end, use your mother’s intuition to choose a pediatrician. Inform yourself and take it from there!
