Hello moms,

Do you know of a pediatric allergist that you would recommend to me? I live in Vernon Hills, IL, but willing to travel some miles if he/she's really good!

Thanks!

Kenilworth may be a little far to travel, but Dr. Paul Detjen is on Greenbay rd in Kenilworth. I've seen him for a number of years (but I'm 30) He works with a lot of kids who seem to love him

Hi,

My son (19 mos) has a ton of food and seasonal allergies and I was in the same boat as you. We found a great doctor at Associated Allergists. We see Dr. Donnell in Highland Park, but there are several locations. I really like Dr. Donnell and he communicates really good with my pediatrician. I know he's at two other locations also, but I am not sure which ones they are. There are other doctors in the practice, but I don't have personal experience with them (although I have heard Dr. Nimigata is excellent also, but it takes a lot longer to get an appt with him.) I've attached the link to their site if you are interested in checking it out.

E.,
My 2 year old just saw Dr. Yasmeen Bilimoria who is at 636 Church in Evanston. She was very thorough and it was the best my daughter ever has done at a doctor's office.

If you are willing to travel to Glenview or Winnetka there is an incredible pediatric allergist named Jim Pollack.

My Aunt made the rounds to all the "best" allergists in Chicago (for second opinions)and ended up back with Jim.
He is fantastic with kids. My cousin, at age 5, did not want to do the prick test to determine allergies. Jim told her that if she would do it he would give her $1 and she could could go to the candy store for jelly beans (or whatever) if it was okay with her mom. Very easy man, very laid back, and really the best at his profession.
