I am due in May, a first-time mom, and am looking for an excellent pediatrician. I live in Silver Spring, but don't mind driving to Bethesda, Rockville, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Hi! I second the recommendation for Capitol Medical Group. We like Dr. Pearl the best, but they're all great. They also have an in-house lactation consultant, which is a big plus if you're thinking about nursing.
Hi -- any doctor in the Capitol Medical Group (Conn. Ave./Chevy Chase Lake Dr.) -- they are all amazing. We see Dr. Kadowitz and absolutely love her!
Discovery Pediatrics is the one! The physicians are spectacularly knowledgeable and terrific with kids as well as parents. The office runs smoothly and the nurses are extremely helpful. We have received care from Dr. Larry Cohen, with occasional back-up when he is out, by Dr. Robin Madden. I have worked with both in a professional capacity and when my children arrived I would consider no other group. We have been with them for 20years now. They are on staff at Children's Hospital as well as Holy Cross Hospital which is very near the practice location. Their building is located at the junction of Georgia and Dennis Avenues. The address is 10313 Georgia Avenue, SS, MD office # ###-###-####. Congratulations on the soon-to-be birth of your baby!
We absolutely love Pediatric and Adolescent Care of Silver Spring (Drs. Bernstein, Feldman, Paxton, Witkin and Laheri). The doctors and nurses are all very professional, knowledgeable and really know how to work with kids. They have great availability for questions/concerns even when you don't have an appt. They have set times every day when you can call to talk to a doctor (you can always talk to a nurse) and they are always extremely quick and responsive to after-hours calls. The office staff is amazing--I have had many dealings with medical offices for various reasons, and they are far and away the most pleasant, efficient and warm group I have worked with. Somehow the office runs like clockwork but you never feel rushed or unattended. I know many families who are with them and every single one is very happy with this group. They are on staff at Holy Cross. Their office is off of Route 29 not far from Cherry Hill. Their website is: http://pacaremd.com/ and their contact info is:
