ok my son's insurance card came yesterday and they gave him a new dr. a family dr.! he had been seeing his pediatrician that saw him since he was born, he is 5 months old,but anyways i am not sure what to do now, i like his old dr. but dont like the 3 hour wait and the rude nurses, i dont know anything about this new dr. well my question is should i keep the old dr. or see this new dr. and see how everything goes? i dont know is it better if he see's his pediatrician or this family dr.? the new dr. is closer to home but i dnt know how she is? what would you suggest? keep the old dr. and put up with the long waits,tiny office,and rude nurses or go to see this new dr. i really dont like all these things but the old dr. is really nice so im not sure what to do i called the insurance and they said since we are new members we can still change his dr. back now or else i have to stick with the new dr. until that time period when you can change dr.s? i need some advice please suggestions? i would really like to try out the new dr. but i dont want to go and be disappointed and be stuck with that dr. for 1 year! help please thank you :) in advanceMy son's dr. was changed what should i do? advice please?
I would definately check out the new dr. You may really like their office, the nurses and the new doctor! I have an 11 month old who has been going back and forth to 2 different doctors since she was born. I have been taking her to two, because I have pros and cons about both, and have a hard time making a final switch. If you don't like the new doctor you should be able to call your insurance company and make the switch back. Good luck!My son's dr. was changed what should i do? advice please?
Its up to you. Since you hate the office that the other doc is at, why not give this one a shot? Call and make an appointment just to meet the doc and get to know his practice a little bit. Worst case scenario, you can't stand him/her. You could just call your insurance agent and ask to stay with the pediatrician that your son has seen since birth.
set up an interview and see if you like the new doctor.. if you do it sounds better becuase of location and the other things you mentioned. your son will not know any better so its also a good time for him if you like the new dr. if there is no medical issues with your son there is no reason why he cant go to a family doctor rather the pediatrician.
I would much prefer a pediatrician over a family Dr. for my child, especially if I have a sickly child. However you can try finding out more about this Dr. (friends, google, insurance personnel, etc.) before deciding.
stay with the pediatrician. it sounds as though you all have a very good relationship. i have nothing against family practitioners, but i think children need someone who specializes in their particular needs.
