[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often do people go to the ped? I looked up our history and one of my kids has only been once outside of annual physicals in the past 4 years (she is 6). The other has been a few more times (broken arm and a couple UTIs). Is anyone really talking to the ped a lot after maybe the first 12 to 24 months. This person is such a non factor in our lives with healthy elementary school aged kids. [/quote]

I totally agree with you.

I do have a bit of advice about your non-factor, take or leave.  I did have a healthy kid until I Didn't.  Nothing life threatening or unusual, but not healthy for a period of a year. All I suggest is that you reflect a bit on this ped and this practice: are they open to questions, would they make referrals, do they think they know all the answers, do they have any adolescent families in the practice, do they respond to calls in a reasonable time?   I know it is hard to learn this with a healthy kid, but having to find a new doctor in the thick of it was awful.[/quote]

Pp here: not saying your ped isn't good, but only that our practice turned out not to be and I could have figured it out if I'd though.
