How to Choose a Pediatrician

Pediatricians are committed to helping parents raise healthy children with the greatest possible comfort, pleasure, ease and success.  Different pediatricians have different approaches, so you may want to interview two to three pediatricians prior to selecting one who best suits your particular preferences and needs. You should conduct these visits and select the pediatrician at least three months prior to the delivery of your baby.
