Meet & Greet w/ Pediatrician

Last night, we had a Meet & Greet with a Pediatrician, Dr. Rosenbaum.  Our OBGYN encouraged us to meet with one or a few until we felt like we had a connection and was able to get all of our questions answered about having a Pediatrician.  We thought this was a great idea and decided to take her advice.

Dr. Rosenbaum was a very busy Pediatrician last night...  We had to wait over an hour just to sit down with him.  But for us, that met he really took the time to take care of all his patients.  Plus, he was on-call, which meant he had to make another phone call before meeting with us.  He did stop by the room to let us know he was sorry.  Chris and I totally understand.  Pediatricians and all doctors for that matter have a job to help and take care of others.  We didn't mind waiting.

Once we were able to meet with Dr. Rosenbaum, the Meet & Greet went great!  He answered a lot of questions we had.  Most importantly, we got a schedule for both of his locations.  We have been to both because that is also where our OBGYN is located.  One location is closer than the other but really neither are that far.  So, we are happy about that.  Everything was thoroughly explained and he spent a lot of time with us, which we greatly appreciated.

Since I have already pre-registered with Labor & Delivery at Evanston Hospital, we will be able to give them the name of our Pediatrician once we get there for the actual delivery.  Dr. Rosenbaum usually makes his rounds every morning at the hospital and will be able to see Brixen most likely while we are at the hospital.  We are at one of the best hospitals in the country, so I am not worried one bit.  Brixen and I will be in good hands.  :)

Well...  I definitely think we have our Pediatrician picked out!  Especially, because the room where we met with Dr. Rosenbaum had a picture with the number 222 in it!  SERIOUSLY???  WOW!  Chris and I just knew that was a sign that he was suppose to be our Pediatrician.  We both feel very good about our decision and hope that Dr. Rosenbaum will be our Pediatrician for many, many years to come.  He says he usually sees his patients through college!
