How It Works

Text directly with three real life, pediatrician moms, asking questions to help relieve anxiety around your child’s health concerns. Our goal is not to replace any current models of care (pediatrician, urgent care, ED) but instead give realistic and informed support to empower parents to confidently advocate for their child.

Before a pediatrician visit - brainstorming questions to ask.

If your child is in the emergency room and you feel overwhelmed.

During your child’s hospital admission, when you need extra support.

To debrief after a pediatrician visit and answer remaining questions.

After a new diagnosis, when you don’t know where to start.

When you need that extra set of ears to bounce ideas off.

If you are a new mom and want a pediatrician bestie!

 FAQs

    • Preparing for a pediatric appointment of any kind. What questions should I be asking? What is the doctor looking for? What might be some possible next steps?

    • Debriefing after a visit. Translating medical jargon so you can better understand what is coming next.

    • Child development questions. Is this typical? Should I seek further evaluation?

    • Is your child going through an acute illness and you feel like you could use some additional support and guidance? We are happy to provide that for you!

    • Parenting techniques. What is the best way to approach this particular problem? Help with conflicting information from multiple sources. Weighing the pros and cons of a decision with a parent.

  • For anyone who asks a question that we feel is not appropriate for us to answer, we will inform you right away, suggest and alternative and are happy to refund your purchase.

  • We are happy to share our knowledge and experiences with you, but as we are not doing complete history and physicals, we don’t have the tools we would need to provide treatment. We are more than happy to talk with you before your doctor visits or after to help think of questions to ask or to debrief and explain medical jargon.

  • One session (or question) - you may connect with us within a 24 hour timespan, including multiple texts back and forth. Any follow up questions initiated by My Pediatrician Friend are bonus and you will not be charged.
