With All These Special Doctors, How Do I Know Whom To Call When I Have A Question?


This is an important question to ask the hospital doctor before your baby is discharged, especially if you might have not yet had the opportunity to talk with your baby's pediatrician or family doctor.

When you visit your pediatrician or family doctor when your baby is first discharged from the hospital or first diagnosed with a special health care need, discuss the medical specialists your baby will be seeing and ask who should be consulted and under what circumstances. 

If you are ever not sure who to call, you should first call your primary pediatrician or family doctor. He or she can then refer you to the appropriate specialist.

Keep the numbers of all of your baby's doctors handy so you don't have to spend time looking them up.
