Paediatricians

What to look for in a paediatrician

When searching for a paediatrician for your child or newborn, there are several important factors to consider. Though arguably experience, credentials, and positive recommendations from relatives or trusted doctors are the most important, there are also several other considerations to keep in mind, so a detailed list will follow.

  • Who is the paediatrician recommended by your OB-GYN doctor?
  • Will they be at the hospital checking on your baby after birth?
  • What kind of experience and academic credentials do they possess?
  • Where is the location of their office? Is it practical to reach?
  • Do they give you and your child time and most importantly care?
  • Do they communicate constructively and patiently with you?
  • Do they answer all your questions?

These are just a few of the important facts and factors to consider when choosing a suitable paediatrician for your child. It can be a daunting task! As with everything in pregnancy and child-birth. Yet the best you can do is trust your support team around you, including the OB-GYN and family doctor. Ask them directly. Who do they recommend and why? Are there different styles or perhaps genders to consider? And of course availability as well.
