How can I work with my pediatrician to get the best care for my child?
Good communication is the foundation of a good working relationship between your family and your pediatrician. Keeping up with routine health visits will assure that your pediatrician is kept up to date with your child’s development along with any health concerns. Prevention is often the best medicine, and maintaining good routine pediatric care will allow you and your pediatrician to address concerns early before they become severe. With good communication, your pediatrician can help you and your child access and coordinate specialty care, other health care and educational services, and public/private community services that are important to the overall well-being of you and your child.
