@pinnkmom we have to drive 45mins just to see a pediatrician and have a family Dr in our town. The same with a dental

@momof3cuties, I really like that idea! Switching once they’re out of that infant/beginning toddler stage.

@squishymommy1, @girlmom., @rndmshtt, @fakoffyeh, Thanks for your opinions ladies. I’m so torn because I love the idea of all of us seeing the same doctor however, to @mommytok, point I want to be sure they are an expert on pediatric care. Especially with having an infant. But because I have kaiser HMO Im kind of limited. There’s only 2 Kaiser locations within 10 miles and they have about 25 peds that take HMO combined. I’m basically going off of reviews here. The one Ped I found that “looked” nice but didn’t really have any reviews. The Family doctor I found had stunning reviews! I’m thinking of going with the peds, and if I don’t really like her I’ll switch to the family doctor.

Fam doc and chiro.

We do pediatrician till 2 in age then go to the family Dr. Which a family Dr is good because when one gets sick we all get sick. One Dr for all of us and not having to go to diffenert places

Pediatrician 100%. My personal opinion is a family doctor cannot be an expert and stay up to date on most current recommendations for infant care, child growth and development, childhood diseases and illnesses, teenage growth and development, adult medicine, maternity care, c sections, vaginal deliveries, etc. It’s like they’re a jack of all trades, but they’re not extraordinarily good with any of them. Too much ground to cover.

I chose a pediatrician that was affiliated with the hospital in delievering at. Although it’s about an hour drive 😅 It gives me a peace of mind knowing if i get rushed to the hospital they can contact my pediatrician and they will be there if my baby ever decides to come early.

Family. Hes my kids doctor and was my OB. Vee was the last baby he delivered before retiring ❤

We go to a family Dr. I prefer someone who sees all of us.
