 Family Doctor or Pediatrician?
A pediatrician or a family doctor can care for your child.
With the birth of a baby comes an important decision: Who should care for your child’s health? Many parents choose pediatricians – physicians who specialize in the care of infants, children, teens and young adults up to age 21. For teenagers with issues relating to transition to adulthood, an adolescent medicine specialist can be helpful too.Yet there’s also another option – a family medicine physician. Use the following information to help make the best decision for your family.Family paediatrician can continue to care for your son or daughter into adulthood.
When choosing a doctor, consider these factors:
- Ask your family doctor if she often treats babies and toddlers. Encourage children age 13 and older to spend some private time with either type of doctor. Your teen will become more confident in asking for and seeking care from a physician.
- Encourage children age 13 and older to be involved in making their own appointments, prescription refills and participating in their own health care. Make it your goal for your child to make an appointment and see a health care professional without your assistance by his or her 18th birthday.
