Choosing to put your child’s health care in the hands of an experienced pediatrician is a smart move. This is particularly true if your child has any health issues beyond the usual childhood ailments. Even if your child is healthy and only needs an annual physical, a pediatrician will take note of things that may be overlooked by a general physician.
Specialized Training
The experienced pediatrician has specialized training that goes beyond basic medical school. If your pediatrician is board certified, you can trust that he or she is staying on top of the trends and breakthroughs in the pediatric field. Specialized training also gives your child’s doctor the edge when it comes to diagnosing problems in their earliest stages. Because training is specific to those issues which affect children, the pediatrician knows what to look for and what to rule out when your child complains of unusual symptoms.
Continuous Care from Birth to Adulthood
An experienced pediatrician can bring stability and constancy to your child’s health care. When you stay with one doctor, not only does your child get comfortable seeing the same person, the doctor has an opportunity to develop a relationship with your child which can be valuable as the child grows up.
The Experienced Pediatrician Has a Kid-Friendly Bedside Manner
Even children from the same family can have vastly different personalities. Some children are easier to befriend than others. Some will give you all the information you need plus a boatload more on how they are doing and what they are feeling. Getting information out of other kids is like slogging through mud on a rainy day; tedious and very difficult. Fortunately the experienced pediatrician knows how to work well with all types of kids. Patience is one of their best virtues along with an undying sense of humor that appeals to kids.
A Good Pediatrician has More Than a Degree
Just as kids have unique personalities, so do doctors; however, with that being said, an experienced pediatrician has qualities that make your child feel comfortable and safe. That pediatrician also helps you feel comfortable and safe. Your thoughts and concerns are listened to and validated. Complicated conditions and procedures are broken down and put in terms that you can understand. The experienced pediatrician is a valuable member of your family’s health care support.
