- [Dr. Schell] Baptist Medical Group
Pediatrics,
we are a group of physicians and
nurse practitioners, five total,
who provide care from newborns through 18
years of age.
- [Kari] I'm glad that Dr. Schell and his
group have decided to join Baptist Health.
I feel like it's easy as parents to be
able to get those referrals whenever we
need specialty care that requires
referrals.
Keeping it within that Baptist network and
getting in and getting out very quickly is
a huge advantage.
- Parents are more involved in their
child's care.
Use to it was we did what the doctor said,
but now I think it's more of a team
approach for the doctor and the parent to
decide what's going to be done
with their child.
I believe it is very crucial that the
child comes to us on a regular basis and
he recognizes us when he comes in because
he's used to seeing us and that gives him
more confidence and makes he or she not as
apprehensive.
When you know a family,
you know the patient,
you know how they are,
that helps you make decisions
concerning their healthcare.
- So if I ever have any concerns, it's
always easy for me just to call Dr. Schell
in his office and make sure that they get
seen because I'd rather be safe than sorry
when it comes to their health.
