Choosing the right pediatrician for your child is extremely important. When deciding on a pediatrician or a pediatric specialist consider the following:

·        Two of the most important qualities you should look for in a pediatrician are competence and compassion.

·        Check the credentials of the pediatrician with the state medical association and with the American Board of Medical Specialists.

·        Board certification, which means that a pediatrician has done a residency in a particular specialty, is one credential to check.

·        Ask about particular procedures the pediatrician has had experience with.

·         Ask friends or relatives if they know of others who have been seen by the pediatrician in question.
