Default Selecting a pediatrician

Hello...I am pregnant and have just started thinking about pediatricians. How do I go about finding one? I don't have many friends with kids, so I really don't have anyone to ask. Any ideas? I've never needed to look for an ongoing doctor...I don't even know where to start.

Start by talking to your OB - s/he might be able to make a recommendation.

If not, then take a look at your insurance and find out who is covered and who isn't. Ped's used to do 'meeting visits' for parents - that doesn't happen much any more.

I wish I had more advice...maybe talk to the pharmacist in your area?

I'll talk to my OB and see what she says. My insurance is great and covers pretty much everyone in my area. However, my area (Fairbanks, AK) is pretty ruralesque, so there aren't a huge number of options...

I wonder if there are any online resources you could tap into. I got some recommendations through a Yahoo group for moms in my city. And I got some good info on a doctor to avoid!

You might also try asking your local Public Health Nurse.

Pediatricians devote their time to regular health examinations, as well as to preventive medicine and health practices. They immunize children against infectious diseases, such as influenza, meningitis, measles, mumps, and chicken pox.
