Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

Holy Crap I love our pediatrician!

September13

I called in the medical record number from Sabrina’s blood work this morning to the doctor’s office so that they could get the results.  (Several people emailed me…no I didn’t change my mind on having titers done.  Our pedi didn’t feel it was necessary and I decided to go with him on that.  He did want to do some standard blood work he does with all IA kids when they come home:  Hep B, Hep C, HIV, Anemia, lead levels, etc.)

I’m sitting here minding my own business and the phone rings.  It was her doctor – the actual doctor not a nurse – calling to say all of the results looked perfect.  We have an appointment on Monday for her 12 month check up but he still took the time to call and say everything looked good and asked if I had any questions.  I was floored – you would think a rock star called me.  Ha!  Part of me thinks it is sad that I am so shocked that he took the time to call but the rest of me is just so impressed because it is so rare to get personal contact from a doctor in this day and age – especially from a big practice like this one.

Thanks again Melany for the referral!

    That is a great pediatrician!! They don’t come around very often so hang onto that one.
    Glad to hear everything was fine.

    Yippee for good pediatricians – yours sounds a lot like mine taking the time to call.
    Glad everything came back good.

    Awesome. That is so nice to hear. In fact, I think I will have our ped consult with your’s since they’re in the same practice and get some pointers. 😉 I’m serious.

    Hope you guys are doing well. Let me know if you’re up for a Red Caboose Park outing sometime next week!

    I didn’t check titers either. Maybe it’s the old ostrich in the sand thing.

    We didn’t do titers either. Our ped had confidence in the records we had. Glad you found a good doc. I like ours ok, but I’m not over-the-top excited or anything.
