Should I take my newborn to a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) or to a Pediatrician? Does it matter who? |
Newborn baby, Texas, Unsure, Not sure if there's difference between the two doctors or if I need to be concerned. Peds doc. They will be more updated on the immunization schedule and the latest Rx's for infants and children than regular allopathic or osteopathic docs who see adults. Pediatrician Pediatrician pediatrition. I would say a pediatrician. D.O.'s treat the patient as a whole... so instead of simply treating the symptom, they look at the underlying cause to try and solve the problem. I assume its a family practice? My son see's a family practice D.O. Also, they are less likely to puch vaccines down your throat... thats a plus! A Pediatrician please! They have the specialized care of newborn through adolescent to adulthood. My mom almost hemorrhaged to death while giving birth with a D.O. then after several pints of blood, she ended up with hepatitis (remember this was long ago, before blood testing) and she really almost died. Bed ridden for months. She said she hurt so bad all over she wanted to die. But she lived thankfully!!! Ok just had to share because you asked. :) |
