Parkland Health Center Pediatricians

Choosing the Right Pediatrician for You

A pediatrician plays an important role in your baby’s physical, behavioral, and mental care from birth until the age of 18. When choosing a pediatrician, it’s important to choose someone you are confident in and comfortable with, especially since you’ll be making several visits throughout baby’s first year and over the course of their childhood. You may also want to consider the pediatrician’s training and experience, as well as the office location, hours, and routines.

Once you’ve chosen your pediatrician, we recommend that you meet with him or her prior to your baby’s birth, so you can ask any questions and become more familiar with the practice and staff. Some of our pediatric providers will even attend more complicated births as requested by the obstetrician or family practice physician, so this initial meeting can be very valuable as you prepare for your baby’s upcoming delivery.
