Looking for a Good Pediatrician - Westerville, OH

Hi! I have 3 children, 10, 7 & 5. I have been with my pediatrician since my daughter was 9 mths. old and I love her. She is in Gahanna, behind the Bob Evans on Hamilton Road, right off of 270. Her name is Dr. Virginia DeVerteuil. She is down to earth, gives lots of info, has children herself and appreciates if you have several children and know what you are doing! There are several other doctors in the office also who are also good. Good luck! Debbie

Hi Lori. What a bummer to lose your pediatrician. We take our kids to mid-Ohio peds. I have a feeling you may go there. There is a Dr leaving the practice. If not we have seen Dr Doherty and Dr Sheets are very happy with both of them. They do have a website that gives bio's about them. Hope this advice helps!

I'm not sure exactly where you are located, but Dr. Searcy in Westerville is WONDERFUL! He is a solo practitioner, and we rarely have to wait for him. If we do have to wait, it's not long at all. The kids really like him, and his staff is his family :-)

Lori I have 3 suggestions. In Westerville Katie Tansky or Richard Petrella (his office is on Copeland Mill road or parkway off of cleveland avenue right near St. Ann's hospital). I go to a practice in Dublin called Emerald Pediatrics and I love it. THere is a practice of 5 women who all have children. I would recommend 3 of the 5, Sarah Behrens, Kristen Thompson and Kathryn Ginocchi There number is ###-###-####. hope this helps!

I absolutely love my pediatrician. He is in New Albany so that wouldn't be to much of a drive. They also have an office in Dublin. The practice is Rainbow Pediatrics, and the doctor my kids see is Tyler Rogers. But all the doctors there have been really great with my kids and they are very caring and help you in anyway they can. Good Luck!

We are very happy with River's Edge Pediatrics. We see Dr. Mahoney there in their Westerville office.

We love our peds. Mid-Ohio Pediatrics. On Copeland near St. Ann's hospital.

Hi Lori,

I love our pediatrician!! Her name is Dr. Ann Croft, and she works at Pediatric Associates Inc. I see her in the Whitehall office on E. Main St, but she might also work at one other their other locations. We "interviewed" her when I was pregnant with our first child 10 yrs ago, and she took alot of time to sit with us and answer all of our questions then. She is fantastic with my 2 boys - she talks WITH them and not AT them, asks them questions and listens to their answers, and really makes visits fun. She is very patient and respectful with parents too. She is wonderful!

We love Dr. Jennifer Carlos at Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine. She's very open to individual's taste/style and also shares her experiences as a mother as well as a doctor. She also seems to truly enjoy each child that walks in the door! Also, I'm a bit paranoid about my daughter (new mom also!) and she never makes me feel stupid or anything when I come in and there really isn't anything wrong or I ask questions! She also gives me all the time I need for each appointment :) We're keeping her!!! Good luck, I remember how hard finding the "right" pediatrician can be. I know they do meet and greet nights at many practices. That might be a good way for you to check a couple different ones and see who works best for you! In all your free time of course! :)

rivers edge pediatrics has 3 terrific doctors. Started by John Sotos, MD father of 3 great with kids son of a great world renowned pediatrician, Omalara Diario, nigerian doctor did two pediatric residencies, one in London, one in the US has knowledge beyond anything I have ever seen, catches things before they become a problem and Michelle Mahoney WOW do the kids love her, mother, great at explaining things.

You mentioned that you are looking for someone who is open minded about treatment.

Dr. Sandra Pinkham is in the Arlington area, on Riverside Drive in a building across Club Road from the Scioto Country Club property. She began her practice as a Pediatric M.D. and she now treats all ages. She practices Integrative Medicine, and she will address allergies and eczema first through naturopathic care. If necessary, she will use medications.

I have had marvelous experience with Dr. Pinkham. I saw her in February for several serious health concerns. She prescribed a specific diet and supplement plan to address those concerns, and I feel better than I have in over 20 years. My migraines are gone (I suffered from them for almost 40 years), my fibro myalgia symptoms are almost completely non existent, and I sleep better than ever now. As a matter of fact, I actually began to wonder if I really have fibro. It turns out that I do, but it no longer bothers me. My blood pressure has gone from 130/80 to 100/60 without the use of medication of any kind. Following her plan is all it has taken for me to feel like I'm on top of my game.

Dr. Pinkham cares deeply about her patients and helping them improve their lives through good habits. I can't recommend her highly enough!

I have a great Pediatrician. I moved to Columbus 10 years ago and was referred to Associated Pediatrics. They are located on the Northside of Columbus and in Westerville. My son and grand daughters have Dr. Ellen Tamburello. She is wonderful. I have also had to in her absents have my son seen by her Associates and they equally attentive treat my family well. Even if I lived across town. I would travel to keep my son with the same doctor. They are wonderful. Check them out ###-###-#### www.associatedpeds.com.

Hi Lori,

Pediatric Associates is who we use. They are pretty good. I personally love Dr. Croft. She is very good with children, friendly, and sensitive to their needs. We learned about her through my old pastor, who's daughter has had lots of complications, health care issues, and had to keep going back to the doctor. They recommended Dr. Croft to us, and we have been ever so satisfied with their recommendation. We go to the Country Club location, but she may be at one of Pediatric Associates other locations as well. Their number is ###-###-####.

Wishing you the best in your search!

I take my daughter to Rainbow Pediatrics in Dublin. We see Dr. Jeff and he is great. He really explains everything in terms that we can understand. He shows us pictures in books to give us a better understanding of what's going on with our daughter when she's sick. She had minimal nerve damage to her eye and mouth during delivery, and he has been wonderful with keeping an eye on it and really working with us. Their numbers is ###-###-####. Their website is www.rainbowpediatrics.com There are several doctors that practice there as well. Good luck with your search.
