Annalee,
  How does your client feel about the comments? Is it time to look  
for a new pediatrician with a note or meeting with the current one to  
explain why they are leaving?

In my childbirth classes, part of one class is devoted to talking  
about finding a pediatrician. I always talk about how here in Boston  
(and in any big city as well) there are many good pediatricians and  
that it is important to be able to work with your pedi. In addition  
to their medical knowledge they also have personalities and  
philosophies. It is important that those things "work" for parents if  
they are to work well together on the child's care. If it is not  
working it is OK to find a new pediatrician. It doesn't meant the  
doctor is a bad doctor or that they are bad parents, just that the  
chemistry isn't good.
