Before Nory was born, I came across a forum discussion raving about a certain pediatrician. I heard this man was THE BEST and I knew he was the guy I wanted to take care of Baby P. However, upon discharge from the hospital we were assigned a random pediatrician who was not the person I was hoping for. That was until Phil became friends with the head nurse! Those light blue eyes work magic (times ten!) and our discharge papers included the pediatrician we requested! WAY TO GO PHIL!
We met the doctor for the first time yesterday and we are both VERY pleased with the outcome :)
Reasons We LOVE Nory's Pediatrician:
1) His name is Dr. Roland. GREAT NAME, don't you think?!
2) He complimented us on Nory's name - saying she has the name of a QUEEN!
3) He reviewed my entire medical file before "beginning the appointment". He wanted to know why I had a c-section, how the surgery went, and what Nory got up to during her 3 day hospital stay. It wasn't until AFTER he reviewed this and asked us some questions that we began our first official appointment.
4) He was thorough - explaining the vaccination schedule in detail and making additions in order to maintain the "American/Canadian" standard.
5) He outlined some optional tests and vaccines and provided information for us to read at home. He encouraged us to do our own research as well and to take our time in deciding what we think is best for Nory.
6) He was AMAZING with Nory. Speaking to her softly and examining her gently. She didn't cry once and seemed to love showing off all that she had learned in the last 20 days.
7) He says Nory is VERY STRONG! He even claimed she is destined to be a great basketball player!!! (You can imagine Phil's response to this.)
8) He spoke to us about infant care and products that we should have at home. He also spoke about things that can be introduced or altered when she turns one month old.
9) You can tell he LOVES children. What more can you ask for?!
Our next appointment is April 3rd - when Nory is 6 weeks old! I wonder how much she will have grown by then. Yesterday she weighed in at 8 pounds/8ounces and measured a total of 57 centimeters! WAY TO GO, NORY DARLING! You're growing the perfect amount :)
