We’ve put together this list to be used as a starting point in finding and choosing a pediatrician that is a good fit for your family. It is also a good idea to get recommendations from close friends and family, but interviews and consults with potential pediatricians might be key in your decision making process. If your family currently takes advantages of the services of a trusted family practice doctor, maybe try there first to see if they offer pediatric services.

It’s important when choosing a pediatrician to find someone who gives you the impression of really wanting to make a difference in your life and your child’s life. You want someone that both supports your choices as a parent and is able to share knowledge and experience with you to help your family make informed decisions. Among the joys of pediatrics is watching patients grow from infancy through childhood and choosing someone to be a partner on this journey with you is exciting! 

Single Provider Practices

The main advantage of smaller pediatric offices is the benefit of forming a closer relationship with one provider.
