My insurence plan changed and I started taking my?

Question

daughter to a new Pediatrician, he is a male. Everytime she sees him she cries, she will not let him do much, I have to hold her down. I don't doubt he is a good Doctor,and he is at walking disctance from my house. What should I do?

Answer 1

Get her another physician! Your daughter's feelings should be more important than you being walking distance from his office.

Answer 2

Find another Dr.!   Maybe a female.  Is he part of a clinic?  If so, there should be more Dr's to choose from.

Please don't ever hold a child down to be examined unless they are in the ER and need to be restrained.

She is afraid of him for some reason.......listen to her!

Answer 3

Your child needs to be comfortable with their doctor.  I would suggest a female for your Pediatrician.  Ask the office if there is a female doctor you can see.
