Choosing A Doctor For Your Child?

Because your baby will need to see a paediatrician frequently in the first weeks of life, it is necessary to choose the right pediatrician in advance.

At Dr Anita’s Kids Clinic, babies are seen right after discharge from the maternity hospital with subsequent follow-up at our clinic for growth and developmental checks and immunisations.

Which pediatrician is the right one for your child? Here are some points to consider:

Does the doctor have a friendly rapport with kids?

Does the doctor know about the latest medical developments?

Does the doctor welcome questions and listen to your concerns?

Does the doctor have a holistic approach to the management of your child’s health?

Does the doctor prescribe only medications that are necessary and not over-prescribe (especially antibiotics)?

Are the nurses patient and helpful?

Is the clinic conveniently located close to your home?
