I Need a New Pediatrician Close to Home

Updated on May 29, 2007
P.P. asks from Braintree, MA

When my son was born he was constantly fussy and vomiting and had difficulty eating... one of the doctors at my current pediatrician told me to suck it up and gave me a number for a hotline for moms with fussy babies...I left the office and took my son to childrens hospital where he was diagnosed with reflux and prescribed zantac. Since then I have not allowed my son to see that doctor, but I have no consistency at that office between different doctors and have no good standing. I'm looking for a new practice so I can start the new baby off on the right foot and finally get my son a doctor who actually cares.

What can I do next?

HI P.,

I take my son to Quincy Pediatrics. It is right outside of Braintree. Take Washington St to Independence Ave. and it is right passed the Friendlys on the Left!! I have been here in MA for a little over a year and a half! My husband went there when he was little! They are GREAT!! Krystian's PCP is Dr. Irons and he is wonderful with him!! Hope your search is easy and hopefully you will give QP a try!! HOpe to talk to you soon!! Becca

P.S. Krystian also went through that too!! I never had to put him on Zantac. Have you tried adding cereal to his milk? Anyway if you would like the number to Quincy Pediatrics it is ###-###-####. Hope you find what you are looking for!!

I don't know how far you want to commute but I take both my children to South Shore Medical Center in Norwell which is out of the way for us. They also have an office in Kingston. We have been with Dr. Boutwell for 8 years now and I have never had a problem with her or any of the staff there.

Hi P., I take my 10 month old son to Allied Pediatrics. They are located right across from south shore plaza & are awesome. The also have a weekend clinic in Brockton. Anytime I have a question or problem, they tell me to come right in or call me right back. HTH!

Oh, P., so sorry you had to deal with that. Reflux is such a hard thing to deal with and to not have a Doctor that is supportive just makes it so much worse. I go to a Doctor in Bridgewater, but I'm sure there's one near you in Braintree. Where is Your Doctor located, because you can ask your Doctor's office to recommend a Pediatrician for you. Good luck. : )
