what questions should I ask?

We are a military family and will be moving this fall. We are not sure where we'll be going yet but we have a short list.

What are some questions I should be asking the clinic/doctors when looking for a new clinic for our son?

Nicole, The first thing that comes to mind is.
*Are they proactive?
*Do you go into a room right away and or put in a waiting room?
*Can you email your doctor or nurse?
*How long does it take to get into clinic for sick calls?
*How many times a year minimum do they see you for just checkups?
*What departments are on the team?
I.E. Endocrin, GI, Social worker, etc.
*Do you get to see your same doctor at each visit or
are they rotated?
*They do rotate when on ward but, that is to be expected.
*How involve do they allow you child to be in his/her health care. I think this is big because someone they need
to do this on their owen. Better to teach when young.

I know there are more. You will get other moms on board.
