I am looking for a pediatrician affiliated with Hinsdale hospital. We are moving to the area and I need to find a pediatrician soon for my 2 1/2 year old. I would like the pediatrician to be affiliated with Hinsdale hospital so that we will be able to use that same pediatrician when our twins are born (due in Feb '09).

I would like a pediatrician that is kid friendly. While that seems obvious, I have found that not all pediatricians are that way. I would also like someone who is willing to listen to your list of questions and not make you feel like they are silly and you shouldn't be asking them.

Thanks in advance for the help.

What can I do next?

Hinsdale Pediatrics is great. Very nice staff. We have seen Dr. Franco for 11 years. One of the best doctors I have ever met. I must comment though, I do not like Dr. Cathy Campbell. I find her to be the LEAST child friendly doctor I have had the misfortune of meeting with. I think she is condescending and not very sensitive. Dr. Dan Campbell has a great reputation and is supposed to be a fantastic doctor. However, the times I have met with him, because Franco was out, I always felt rushed and left there with questions unanswered.

My kids see Dr. Gardner with DuPage Pediatrics. It's on Plainfield Road in Darien (near 75th and Cass). We've had fabulous experiences with all the doctors, with the exception of Dr. Huang. The office staff is also very good. They have evening hours and Satruday mornings, as well. I have never had a problem getting in the same day if needed. They are also great at returning phone calls quickly, and many times it's the doctor who will call back.

I use La Grange Pediatrics, located on Willow Springs Road. My usual Pediatrician is Dr. Corte, or I will also see Dr. Tumma. There are 2 male physicians in that office too, but I prefer the bedside manner of the females.

Another mother also mentioned Hinsdale Pediatrics. The staff is wonderful and they are located very close to the hospital. My daughter has been seeing them since she was born (now 2 1/2). The Dr's and nurses are really good with the little ones! We are seeing Dr. Kathy Campbell and I can't say enough good things about her. She really takes the time to listen to your questions/concerns and doesn't make you feel rushed. She talks directly to my daughter and makes her feel comfortable. We are very pleased!

Hi C.,

I live in LaGrange and we use LaGrange Pediatrics. We see Dr. Matray and have been very pleased with both how he treats my husband and I as well as our son. My sister and a good friend also use the same pediatrician. I have been a very nervous first time mom and have had a million questions each time we have had a visit to the pediatrician. He has taken the time to answer my questions and never once made me feel ridiculous or as if I were wasting his time. My son had many ear infections which brought on high fevers - we were always able to get an appointment the same day and most times Dr. Matray would call the next day to follow up with how my son was doing. He is affiliated with Hinsdale Hospital as are all of his partners. The number is: ###-###-####. Good Luck!

Hello! I go to Family Practice 911 N. Elm St. Suite 301 Hinsdale @ ###-###-####. A family practice office I have been going to for 10 years now. When I delivered my son (3yrs. old now) @ Hinsdale hospital the dr. Brown and dr. Fortman do rounds for the infants just born, so they checked on my son right after he was born. I love the practice because we can get right in and see our favorite physicians assistant Mrs. Thommen. I know you are looking for a peds, but I just love how my kids have always been a priority there, and we don't have to sit in the waiting room filled with a bunch of sick kids for an hour. Best of luck.

We go to Hinsdale Pediatrics right off off Ogden and Elm. The number is ###-###-#### and the docs are wonderful there. I live in Orland Park but use Hinsdale Hospital because thats where my OB/GYN is and she referred us to Hinsdale Peds. We've been going there for almost 6 yrs. I really think you should give them a try! They're also only 5 min. or so from the hospital.

I have been taking my daughter to Hinsdale Pediatrics since her birth (JAN 04) We see Dr. Dan Campbell and LOVE him! HE told me once to always follow your mothers instinct, that symptoms don't always dictate when/if your child should see the Dr., that to me was some of the best advice I had ever gotten.
He speaks directly to my daughter, not at her, or to me about her. He always puts her mind at ease, explains what he is doing, why he is doing it, etc. She doesn't mind going to see Dr. Dan.
The other Doctors have always been great too, easy to get in when you need to, the nurses always talk to you when you have a question, the staff is very personable and polite. I highly recommend Hinsdale Pediatrics.

I take my son to Kay Kelly from Dupage Pediatrics in Darien. She's very nice and open minded. She doesn't just push to do things her way because she's the doc. Your kids your decisions. She's also very patient, our first visit lasted abut an hour because we had so many questions. Good Luck.

I just gave birth at Hinsdale. The staff there is so nice. Of course it helped that I had a doula (artisticbirth.com) but I had a wonerful experience.
