Your Family Health Organizer: Record Parents' and Kids' Medical Information All in One Place Ring-bound – September 14, 2007

With my second child being born recently and the influx of papers and info you receive with all things medical, I was finding that I really needed to get myself organized. I read all kinds of reviews and ultimately settled on this family health organizer. It is GREAT! I wish I had gotten it sooner, but since my daughter is only 2, it wasn't terribly difficult to go back and recreate her medical info. It was kind of a pain though. It is a relief to have it all in one place. Now, I don't feel like I have to keep everything in my head. You always think you'll remember that question you had, or the date of your last shot until someone asks. Now it's all concise and easy to find. It also made my Kidsafety.Kit (from Buttoned Up) defunct since the same info that's in there is also included in the Family Health Organizer (fingerprints, recent photo, lock of hair, etc).Could not be more pleased! The fact that it's a 3 ring binder so you can add and take out pages as you need is an added bonus.I highly recommend this!

As a first time mom, I was looking for something to keep me organized for all the well-baby visits. I found what I was looking for. There is a section for each parent and up to three kids (you can easily order more if needed). I love the pockets for storing the printouts the doctor gives you. There is a section for each visit for you to list exactly what happened and places to list questions. I find myself pulling this book out every so often between visits to log my questions. Then, when I visit the doctor, all my questions are in one place. Nice size and very durable. I could go on and on. LOVE IT!

Love it because it keeps me organized with doctor's visit information at my fingertips. I take it with me when I go to the doctor for the kids or my husband.However, when I ran out of pages specifically for the doctor's visit I went to their website to order more and realized I would have to order a package that includes what I needed (so I would be paying for more than I needed). My husband did warn me! I did try to contact the company by email and phone(Canada) but have yet to receive a callback.

I have used this binder for a few years. Here are the pros and cons for me.Pros:It provides a place and format to keep and organize medical records. It's very helpful to have a designated place for medical records.Cons:Although the small size of the binder is good for travel purposes, that small size is a huge problem when most of the paperwork from the doctor's office is 8.5" x 11". There are too many papers to just fold them because it becomes too bulky, and it's harder to find paperwork when it's folded. In hindsight, I should have chosen a full size binder.Having medical information for the whole family in one place is actually inconvenient. When I bring one child to the doctor, I don't want or need to carry medical information for the entire family.Loose papers are not easily accommodated.The format does not lend well to organizing and tracking medical information for ongoing medical conditions.

I looked all over for a health organizer for my two kids and this one is the best. It has space for multiple kids and both parents if you want. I have it at every doctor appt and people always comment on it. Plus I can keep their shot records in it. No more estimating when I am tracking when the last ear infection was. I can just look it up. And I can keep all of the doctors contact info in their, including specialists.

I love this book I just wish it cane with more pages to input more appointments and more info for me and my husbands medical records as well but I love it it helps and it has a place to put all of your insurance cards in it my only real complain is its a hassle to get more pages for the book

Great item for recording a family's Vital Statics. Appears all areas are appropriately covered and thorough. I would suggest "pockets", inside front and back covers OR clear plastic sleeves be added inside the binder for storing/adding loose items or documentation to support what has been recorded on the inside. ONE BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! This item is a THREE RING BINDER. The rings are plastic, TOO SMALL for the number of pages and they have poor quality SPRINGS thus allowing the rings to randomly pop open/separate and allow the pages to fall out. Because of the ring size, it's difficult to "flip" the pages without the rings springing open. VERY ANNOYING.

I got one of these books as a gift 6 years ago when I had my first child. It has come in handy many times as a central place for all medical forms and cards. I bought the one from here as a gift, I am hoping the recipient finds it as useful.
