Big ones for us were<br /> 1) Lactation consult on staff<br /> 2) Same day appointments<br /> 3) Rx policy: as in how "easy" are they with perscripting meds that may not be necessary. (I don't want DD to be over-medicated like I feel I was growing up)<br /> 4) Nurses hotline<br /> 5) Hospital visits after she is born: how frequent, contact information needed, ect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specific-questions-for-pediatrician#post-242372 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:01:04 +0000 Sweet T 242372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always like to know if they have a 24-hour nurse line that you can call. I'd also ask any questions you may have about vaccinations/schedules. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/specific-questions-for-pediatrician#post-242369 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:59:11 +0000 photojane 242369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have an open house tomorrow night at our potential pediatrician's office. the nurse called to make sure we were all set for tomorrow, and to ask about insurance. she said to come prepared with all of the questions we could think of for the doctor. i thought of a couple (breastfeeding support, last minute appointments), but is there anything specific i should definitely ask the pediatrician to help me decide yay or nay? </p>
