Primary Health Medical Group Pediatrics is committed to partnering with you on your child’s health and development from birth to age 18. It’s important to feel comfortable with your pediatrician, as you will be working together for your child’s health. Whether you are a brand new parent or this is your third child, you will most likely have questions as your child grows.
If you are expecting a baby and would like to meet one of our pediatricians, please call for a complimentary appointment. During the appointment, you will have an opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the practice, and physician’s philosophies. Here are some sample questions that you may want to ask during this important “get to know you” visit.
- What is your philosophy about child rearing? For example, do many of the mothers in your practice breastfeed their babies? Do you think children should be fed on a schedule? What is your philosophy about antibiotics?
- What is the process when I call to ask a question? Who will I speak with?
- What is the scheduled length of appointments?
- How often do you want to see the baby in the first year and why?
- What happens if my baby gets sick on evenings or weekends?
