Hi - I am new to the Irwin PA area and am in need of a Pediatrician for my two children.
I looked online but could not find many reviews on the doctors in that area. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you have any suggestions on dentists or family doctors that would also be a huge help.

What can I do next?

We use East Suburban Pediatrics. They have offices in Irwin, White Oak, Monroeville and Murrysville. There are 4 doctors in the practice, and we like all but one. I belive Dr. Dingess and Dr. Trainer staff the Irwin office and they are both excellent. Some of the offices have evening hours which works out great for me. Our son is 9 months old and ESP has cared for him since birth.

We live in Greensburg and have Dr. Jody Jackson in Jeannette (CCP Jeannette) for our Ped. She is great! She is young and willing to listen. She is always on top of our concerns.
Good luck!

We live in Trafford not far from you and use Permier Pediatrics in Harrison City. They have about 7 or 8 doctors and the only one I didn't like has left the practice. If you want any more information feel free to contact me. I really like these docotrs and actually have multiple friends that use the same practice either in Harrison city or the Penn Hills office.

Hi J.,
We go to Dr. Krishnappa on Blacks Hill Road in Irwin. I cannot recommend him. We are looking for a new pediatrician. The other doctor at this location, Dr. Gillison, is great. She actually talks to you and she never makes you feel like you are doing something wrong. I really like her. For well-baby appointments, we always just requested Dr. Gillison when we scheduled. But the few times we have had to go in when my son was sick, it was a gamble which doctor would be in that day. Last time, Dr. Krishnappa diagnosed my sick son as having allergies and it was clear on his face that he was uncertain. Anyone could see something was really wrong with my toddler, so we went back to Dr. Gillison the next day and she recognized his condition right away and knew how to treat him. Dr. Krishnappa just isn't the kind of doctor I want caring for my son. I would steer clear and go with one of the other doctors the Mamas have recommended.
