Okay question, so I'm looking up pediatricians right now and I'm wondering if I'm suppose to call…

call to make sure they are accepting new patients. if you want to use them just let them know.

@jomommaclark, okay thank you! :)

@jomommaclark, @ngujen how do you "interview" them to find out if you like them?

Some allow an interview others don't. Call and find one accepting new patients

set an appointment if you want to meet with them first.

@dropdeadmeg,

@dropdeadmeg, not all will accept an interview. You just ask

referrals from friends or family is the best way to find one.

there's also a website rate your physician I think is what is called.

we are ?? my doctor didn't tell me 😔😩😕 @ngujen

my doctor referred one to me that he uses personally. I called to establish care n he got my stats for baby asked questions n before we leave the hospital he's coming to check on the baby

@mommytoaz, they'll help you choose at the hospital too! I just wanted to find one now. I'm going to ask her at my next appointment who she would recommend that takes my insurance.

@islandftm, the one the office recommended doesn't take my insurance. :/

what insurance do you have, & i believe i saw a flyer for MacArthur Pediatricians in the office @ngujen

maybe i can look online ?

you call after you have the baby cause they gotta look over baby before the baby can leave the hospital.

do you have Molina or Parkland @ngujen

@mommytoaz, molina

@february2016, yeah I know that's why I'm trying to look up ones with good reviews I don't want to choose randomly

did they call you about a babyshower kinda thing ? @ngujen

@mommytoaz, yeah lol but I couldn't understand what they were really saying

are you going ?@ngujen

what i got from it is they're suppose to inform us about services in our area through them, i believe also giving a list a pediatricians and somwthing else idk

@mommytoaz, probably not.. are you?

i thought about it, most likely because im realllly oblivious to being a new mom, finding a doctor, who to call and so forth @ngujen

any information is helpful
