How to Choose a Pediatrician
Finding the right doctor is vital for all patients, especially children. To receive certification from the American Board of Pediatrics, most pediatricians must pass a comprehensive test covering numerous health topics about babies, children, and adolescents. They also must have thorough training to treat common conditions that affect younger patients.
Besides certification and experience, there are several other factors to weigh when deciding on a pediatrician. Ask yourself the following questions before and during your initial visit to determine if the provider is the best fit for your child:
- Are the location and hours accessible?
- Do friends, family, or other patients recommend the doctor?
- Is the office atmosphere welcoming?
- If going to a group practice, will your child see the same pediatrician or a different one every time?
- Does the doctor seem invested in your child’s care or know how to treat their conditions?
- Does your insurance cover the provider’s services?
