First time mom- pediatrician

Hello all,

I’m getting ready to schedule a “meet and greet” with potential pediatricians for my baby. I am lost, I may be overthinking it but what questions should I ask, what did you ladies look for?

I’m in the same boat looking for a pediatrician

For us, location was important (we wanted something close to home) and I checked out the reviews of the pediatrician online. The meet and greet we didn’t have a ton of questions for her as they covered quite a bit of information in their tour / overview. My sisters who both had babies before me said really just meet to ensure you feel like it’s a good fit for your family and they’re not too pushy of a doc (unless you prefer that of course =)). Hope that helps! Good luck!!

I'm with you. I've interviewed 3 thus far. The 2nd is the one I'm going to go with. I had a list of questions. I wanted to know their stance on an extended vaccination schedule, emergency line/care, electronic portals should I need access to medical records, time in service as a physician, stance on meds vs holistic (are they quick to want to pump my baby w/meds for everything or is there any at home remedies they consider first). Things like this.
