How to Find a Pediatrician

Finding the right pediatrician for your family can be difficult. A personal referral is usually the best source to find any new doctor.

I am very proud that in our office we care for the children of adult doctors, multiple pediatric specialists, lots of our hospitals staff and even other pediatricians. When families are unable to get a personal referral for a new pediatrician, I often recommend this method. Identify the hospital nearest to you that cares for children then call the hospital and ask the hospital staff where they take their children.

In our office, we offer prenatal classes for expecting families several times a month at each office. This is a great opportunity to meet the pediatrician and see the office without committing to a particular practice.
