We moved here recently and were searching for a pediatrician for my daughter. I picked a name off of our insurance list and scheduled an appointment for a well-child visit, since that's usually a good way to measure how a doctor's office is going to fit.
They gave my DD a book, just for making it to her well-child visit. I thought that was a great touch. The staff was helpful and very nice, and they were even running on time!
The nurse asked a lot of questions, got a very thorough history, and then we waited less than five minutes before the doctor came in. He explained everything he was doing to me, and asked my daughter before he did anything. He listened when I talked, and didn't act too busy to answer questions. Since DD ended up needing three shots, they made sure they had three small toys ready for her to take home as her reward.
It was a very positive visit, for both myself and my daughter, and I'm happy to say that I picked the right office for us on the first try.
