Finding a Pediatrician

Today we went to check out a pediatrician's office.  At our last visit the doctor had given us a list of pediatricians that are in our healthcare plan.  I looked all of them up on Healthgrades and Yelp to see the reviews and what people are saying.  I learned the hard way to ALWAYS look up a doctor before scheduling an appointment.  I've had so many horrible experiences, primarily in the dental field, that I'm never going to make an appointment before reading reviews ever again.  There were several doctors and pediatric groups on the print out she gave me.  The ones that were all pediatric groups with multiple doctors had bad reviews.  Long waits, an uncaring staff, being rushed through appointments with doctors who have minimal interest in seeing them, etc.  I found that healthcare groups tend to be like that.  More like a factory and impersonal rather than individual care.  It was easy to narrow down our choice of pediatrician to two options.  One had only all positive reviews but the other was pretty high also.  We decided to check out the one with all positive reviews.  I called ahead and scheduled a tour of the facility.  The doctor wasn't in but the office manager showed us around and explained the hours and procedures.  Apparently we just need to have our OBGYN write down the pediatrician's name on the medical form and they will call her in once the baby is born to come to the hospital and do the initial exam.  Then she'll schedule a follow up appointment at her office and we can just have her as our baby's doctor.  Simple enough.  The office was pretty big and painted with jungle animals all over the walls.  There’s a separate waiting area for infants.  It seemed very kid friendly.  The office manager answered all our questions and was very nice.  We'll see how it goes.
