Does your ped. suggest a 2 year appointment?

[Karenn]

Our current ped. does. I've been thinking of switching, but found out today that the doctor I was thinking of switching to doesn't usually do 2 year appointments. Is this the norm? My plan had been to take Colin to the new doc. for his two year, see how I liked him and then decide if we wanted to make the switch for the new baby. Now I'm not sure what to do!

Our ped does a 2 year appointment as well.

At our ped the 2 year appointment is the start of annual well-child visits. Perhaps this new doctor has a different schedule?

Our ped does 2 year visits, and from that point on, once a year around every birthday. Maybe you could check and see what his schedule is. If he doesn't have a 2 year, you could just go around then as a getting to know you type physical.

Caley was going every 3 months (once she was a little older) until her 18 month checkup. Her next appointment is at 2 years. I'm not sure what the interval is after that. Probably a year, as others have said.

Yes, Colin's next appointment is at age 2.

[luvbeinmama]

Yep, 2 year appt here, too. Then annually from then on. I wonder why the new doc doesn't do 2-yr appts?

We have 2 yr. check-up as well - then onto yearly physicals.

Our ped does a 2 year appointment as do much around here, from what I have heard. I know that Matthew will be getting at least 1 vaccination at that appointment, as per the schedule.
