Hello, we are expecting our first baby on February 7th and would like to know which family practicioner is fantastic with you and your family. We are currently using Dr. Froelich at West Bend clinic and haven't been to happy with him as of late we would like to switch Dr.'s but have little information on anyone else. Anyone currently using Dr. Bodensteiner?

Thanks in advance.

We see Dr. Englebert at the Northshore Pediatrics office in Mequon and couldn't be happier with her or the other doctors...they're all great! It might be too far for you to travel, but I'd recommend that practice. We used to drive 23 miles to go there...and never felt we wasted gas or time! :)

Currently we use Dr. Herdrich who is great. Dr. Bodensteiner was great when I took my 2 year old to him on a Sunday (the walk-in clinic). He gave us some free samples and even wrote down several herbal remedies to try. He was very friendly. I've also seen Dr. Tomez who was very good and has young children.

I'm not sure where you live, but I really like most of the pediatricians I've met at Aurora Advanced Healthcare-Cedar Creek in Grafton. We use Dr. Bhupathi (who also sees patients at the Port Washington clinic), but have seen a few of the pediatricians there and they were all great.

Dr. Frommel at the East Mequon site is also really good.

I to really dont care for Dr Froelich, Dr Bodensteiner well he is ok. I go to Dr Cornelius he is at west bend clinic too but in Jackson. I have been going to him since my children were baby's they are now parents them selves and there children also see them.When I went to a fund raiser he was there I said hi to him and he new who I was and asked if my daughter was feeling better.(she had been there for an illness a week before that)He also explains everything to you till you understand. Not just talks like a Dr and walks out. He is very caring. You can have a free get to know him consult. If he is not available his partner Dr Guthrie is also great. Our whole family loves them both. Good luck on your search. Hope you find a Dr that is right for you and your family.

Hi C. - I actually work at the West Bend Clinic and am a first time mom of a 5 month old myself. I take my daughter to the peditricans at the south clinic, but actually have been thinking about switching her to a family doctor at the main site. I personally know all the doctors from working with them, I have been working there for over 6 years now, so on a business side of things they all are great doctors. But from one mom to another - Dr. Tamez is wonderful with kids. Also Dr. Wolter is a newer doctor that started with us within the last year and I have heard wonderful things about him as well. They are both younger doctors and have young kids themselves. Dr. Bodensteiner you mentioned is also nice - but it might be a little harder to get an appointment with him. Email me anytime as I can try to answer your question ( I work in the reception area at the clinic)
