Re: Pediatrician Interview Questions - I dont know what to ask

Here is a link to a checklist from verybestbaby.com. If you scroll down you will see a PDf file of a checklist that you can download and print. I actually used it when I interviewed the pediatrician I use for my DS.

Re: Pediatrician Interview Questions - I dont know what to ask

honestly, when i interviewed my ped (i only interviewed one) i only asked 5-6 questions that were super important to me. everything else wasn't.

i wanted to know:
*hours of operation on the weekends (open 7 days a week)
*what happens and who i talk to when i call after business hours (i get the doctor's cell phone!!)
*what happens if i have an emergency visit and can they squeeze me in (always!)
*if i choose to do anything with vaccinations, how do they feel about that and what are their personal thoughts about it (they share my thoughts on giving vaccines on time and the lack of the autism/vaccine link)
*do they push breastfeeding as the only way to feed (i wasn't sure what i was doing but they don't push any particular way)

you don't want to overload them as it's like a 15 minute meet and greet. see if their personality fits yours and if the answers to your questions are answered the way you hoped.
