What makes an excellent paediatrician?

Deciding on a medical practitioner can be extremely challenging, especially when it comes to your child’s health. We suggest keeping an eye out for the following traits when researching potential paediatricians:

• Fully qualified. As with any other medical professional, paediatricians are required to undergo years of study before they are permitted to practice. You should always feel confident that the paediatrician you have chosen is fully qualified.
• Years of experience. Paediatricians with years of experience have seen it all before, and know exactly how to handle all medical situations, from the straightforward to the more complex.
• Compassionate attitude. At the end of the day, your child is exactly that – a child. The best paediatricians are compassionate and understanding.
• Specialist expertise. If you are grappling with a specific issue or condition, look for a paediatrician with specialise expertise rather than a general practitioner.
