Choose a practice close to your home, work, or day care to save time, money, and stress—especially on those sick visit occasions as you do your best to keep your child comfortable.
Recommendations
Listen to the recommendations of friends, family, and especially your obstetrician.
Credentials & Experience
It is important to ensure that your pediatrician is board certified. Board certification demonstrates proficiency in patient care, professionalism, communication skills, and medical knowledge. Quality and safety accreditations including the national Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval® are benchmarks to confirm your practice adheres to the highest quality standards.
Size of Practice
There’s great benefit to selecting a practice that’s part of a large network with multiple care providers. This gives your family greater access to care and offers an opportunity to see different pediatricians to determine who your child is most comfortable with.
Hospital Affiliation
Being affiliated with a nationally ranked children’s hospital can allow for an abundance of resources and specialists to be right at your fingertips.
Care When You Need It
Life is busy…and injuries and illnesses happen when you least expect it. Have a clear understanding of your pediatrician’s care policies. Does the office allow same-day or last-minute appointments? Will you have access to after-hours care or middle-of-the-night advice? Does the practice offer an online patient portal so you can always access your child’s medical records or message their provider with non-urgent questions?
