By Freida Michael


Health is wealth most especially for young children who best enjoy life while they are still young. No matter how carefully parents take care of their children, kids get sick and have to be brought to a doctor for children or a pediatrician Floyd County IN. Pediatricians are the best doctors for your children as years of practice and expertise have given them a leg up on medical issues.

Parents most often choose the doctor before the child is born. Making this decision early on will be better for the child and the mother. This doctor once chosen early will have a better grasp of the family's current health condition and he will have a heads up on genetic illnesses and weaknesses. It is best for the mother to finally choose four months before giving birth.

Family doctors can sometimes become the default doctor for children. If this is not a choice you are comfortable with, there is always the option of looking for a specialist. If you are unsure where to start, as for recommendations. Obstetricians will oftentimes have a doctor in mind for you. Hospitals and insurance companies also keep lists of doctors. Make sure to check all aspects of the doctor before you make a choice; do not make a choice of convenience.

First you'll want to check of the doctor you're considering has a certificate from the American Board of Pediatrics. You'll also want to check if the doctor has been certified by the Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics - they will have FAAP after their name if they do.

FAAP stands for Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and this means that the doctor has met the high standards of child healthcare. He or she has graduated from medical school, completed hours of residency program in a hospital and passed the pediatrics board exam. In addition to this, if your child has special needs, the doctor must also be certified to provide additional treatment or therapy if needed.

If you have chosen your top two or top three, visit the doctor personally with your child. Observe the clinic and the staff if you do. A good pediatrician knows how impatient children could be and should make the waiting room entertaining and comfortable as well. Interact with the staff also. They should be patient, accommodating and helpful precisely because making a child wait in a clinic can be stressful.

Third, observe how your child will respond to the doctor. The child must act positively towards the doctor to ensure that he is receptive physically and mentally to the treatment and tests the doctor will perform. This is specifically important for immunizations. The child must be very comfortable with the doctor to let him hut him a little. It will be very stressful for you and the child if you will get a different doctor every time.

Given that doctors are experts in their field, the doctor must still be able to communicate well with your child. Children are complex. Some may not be able to say exactly what they feel so the doctor must know how to ask the right questions to help diagnose the child.
