Pediatrician Referrals...

[Lallem18]

I've been told by everyone and their brother that I am way behind the power curve in finding a pediatrician for my baby who is due 10/29. We are fairly new to the La Plata area, so I was wondering if any of you parents have a pediatrician that you just love and would feel good about referring him/her.

THANKS!!!!

I think to be safe in those "Oh my God he just swalled fifty eight cents!!" situations we should think about closer - La Plata or Waldorf. Thanks though!

my son went to dr. lindemann when he was first born. he got jaundice and lost over a pound in less than a week. he didn't think it was necessary to send him to children's. needless to say, i won't be seeing him again. i'm not posting this to upset you just want to give you something to think about before you refer him to people.

Dr. Hewitt in Price Frederick/Solomons. I am 21 and still go to him - he is the best!

So what did you do? Go somewhere else? See another doctor?

My daughter has been with him since birth (she's 5) and I have never had a problem with him. As a matter of fact, I find that he isn't the type of doctor to medicate every sniffle or run tons of tests unless necessary. JMO

Pete... care to chime in here?

he went to children's for 4 days. then, i switched to dr. dhillon. he's been great. i'm glad that dr. lindemann is working out for you. i'm sure that they all make mistakes but i couldn't take the risk with my little guy.

Are you saying RR is not a good babies mommy?

 

[RoseRed]

Yea RR, how dare you!

What was I thinking?

Besides, jaundice is common in newborns and usually goes away on its own.

yes, it is. but him losing over a pound in a week. which made him go down to 4 lbs. 8 oz. i guess that i should have mentioned that i had him at 35 weeks so it made it a little more important for him to be at children's. dr. lindemann wanted st. mary's to treat him. they don't even have a NICU

to add, his jaudice level was extremely high. it would not have gone away on it's own. his billi level was 21.7. the average is 5. the max is 25

My daughter was born at 36 weeks and 7lbs 7oz.

Yours was a tiny little guy. May I ask if you smoked during your pregnancy?

IMO, everyone has different interactions and experiences with doctors and based on those interactions and experiences they have to decide for themselves who works best for them. That's why we have choices. :shrug:
