What Do You Do When You Disagree With Your Pediatrician?

Of course, there are a lot of things you could do when you have a disagreement with your pediatrician. The most helpful would usually be to discuss your concerns with your pediatrician. There is rarely only one way to do things in medicine, and if your doctor better understands what you want, he may be able to come up with a treatment plan for your child that you all agree with. Or your pediatrician might explain her reasons for doing what she wants to do, so you can better make a decision about what is best for your child.
