Do you use a family practice doctor for all your health care needs? For example gyno exams or children care?

Basically do you need to have a different doctor for different care needs?


Answer
In general we see a family practice Doctor for all our needs as long as they are in her scope of practice. She sees all of us including the children and she is great with them. This of course will depend on the doctor and the children. We use to see a family doc that our children didn't like, so we changed and they love the new one. She doesn't deliver babies or do surgeries so anything in the ob/gyn world is out but she does do routine gyno exams.

Medical checkups and health cares normally needed for a 2-month old baby in Houston TX for a year ?

My daughter, a Japanese resident, will stay in Houston TX from June for a year with a 2-month old baby boy. Please let me know what kind of medical checkups and health cares are needed and about how much each of them will cost to let the baby take them, on the assumption that he is healthy, not requiring special medical care. My daughter does not have her own work visa, but is covered by her husband's. She hasn't bought any health insurance yet.


Answer
It is "suggested" that you take newborns in I think every like 3 months. But its not "required". My daughter was perfectly healthy her first year so I never took her in. First time I did was for her 1 year checkup. You do not HAVE to do shots either. That is a personal decision made by the parent. Im not giving my daughter any until she is 2 so I can monitor better any ill-effects it may cause her - ie: autism etc.
So really, it is at the discretion of the parent how often you take in a baby. Some ppl seem to forget this and think you HAVE to take them in. You don't.
