Any advice on a pediatrician? I heard it was best to have one in place prior to delivery, is this true?
Thanks for all your help!
BEST!
Re: *2brides*
I don't know much about College Park area.
We go to Primary Pediatrics. We go to the office in Laurel - but there is one in Silver Spring too. We see Dr. Abhyankar (I knew her when she was a resident in my clinic) but have seen most of the other docs/nurse practioners over the years and been happy with everyone. We've never had issues with being a 2 mom family. They also will come to Holy Cross to see the babies. http://www.primarypedsmd.com/
I work with a pediatrician (Ben Gitterman) who sees kids in private practice at Discovery Pediatrics. They are in Silver Spring (at Georgia Ave and Dennis.) Ben Gitterman is family, a very nice guy, and is the pediatrician for several of the doctors (where I work) kids. I don't know the other docs (Madden and Cohen) in the practice, but they've been in Washingtonian (as best docs) and I have a few friends who see Dr. Madden and like her a lot.
With most practices you can call and schedule to go talk with them about their philosophies/hours/etc to see if it is a good fit for you and your family.
Good luck! Can you belive they are almost here!?!?!?!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the info!
I like the idea of having the pediatrician come to the hospital.
I can't believe how nervous I am getting. I feel like there are going to be so many t's I didn't cross and i's I forgot to dot.
Again, THANKS.
you are welcome. Don't let the ped coming to the hospital make/break your decision b/c the babies will still be checked out by a pediatrician in the hospital (so it isn't as if they aren't getting care!) And really it is 3-4 days out of an 18 year relationship!
That being said, we do like the practice we go to.
Feel freel to PM me/call me if you want to discuss anything. I understand the overwhelmed feeling!
