How do I pick a pediatrician and what questions should I ask? Been slacking on this and still haven't chosen one or even thought about who I'd possibly like to use.

No it's not. Just keep important things for your records of course.

I'll probably do the same honestly. If I run into a problem with them it shouldn't be too hard to change doctors right? @dang_dridri

Oh yeah I didn't ask any questions because I didn't know what to ask. Lmao. I just looked at ratings & things online for the doctors.

Call your local pediatricians office and ask if they're accepting new patients I like to google the doctors too and look at their reviews

I go back for a checkup on Tuesday so I'll ask the receptionist then! Thank you @jessicarose0602

I was thinking of just using the hospital pediatrician, and looking more into the doctors around here in the meantime. I'm still stuck on questions to ask though. @dang_dridri

like @ainsleighsmumma said, ask for a reference sheet from your dr! I did, and I called them and asked if they were accepting new patients and if they took our medical insurance. I already knew who I was going to use before my daughter was born that way. 😊😊

The pediatrician at the hospital recommended me to one near my home & gave me a list of some others as well. I never had one picked.

@heykira, the receptionist at your OB office might have a reference sheet on file in the computer that they can print out for you. Good luck finding one, you may have to try a couple before you find the perfect one for you and your baby.

@ainsleighsmumma, thank you, I've asked my friends on fb but they weren't much help. Pretty much just told me who not to use rather than who they actually recommend. My dr gave me some names but I can't even remember who they were because like a dummy I didn't write it down

You may be able to ask your obgyn for a reference sheet for them, and then visit with each one & see which one you like best. Or ask in Facebook and see which ones your friends use, and visit with them & pick one.
