"Hi, I am Doctor David Hill. Today we are going to be talking about questions to ask your pediatrician. Now, as a pediatrician I get asked a lot of questions and I am happy to answer all of them, but some parents come in especially if they have not had their baby yet or they are thinking about coming to our practice and they are not sure what they want to ask me when they sit down. I usually know though the things that they want to know. They want to know how easy it is to get into my office if their child is sick. They want to know am I going to be there for them when their baby is born in the hospital? They want to know if they call with a question who is it that they are going to talk to, and will they be able to ask a question of a physician if they would like to? They want to know are they going to have the same doctor every time they come to the practice or are they liable to see someone different every time? They want to know if their child gets sick after hours or on the weekend what plan is in place to make sure they get their questions answered and their child gets the best care they possibly can? When you sit down with your pediatrician, try and get a feel whether this is somebody that you feel you can communicate with and talk to, probably the single most important aspect of what we do here is our relationship with the parents, and if a parent feels that he or she cannot ask me a question or that I do no want to here what they have to say or that I am not going to pay attention to their concerns we are not going to take very good care of their child. So if you get that sense it is always fine to get a second opinion or look around for another doctor, the first doctor is going to want your child to have as best care as they possibly can. Talking about questions to ask your pediatrician I am Doctor David Hill."
