I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good pediatrician or pediatrics group in South Austin area. I don't mind driving a little bit for a good doctor.
Our prior doctor was great. He was very hesitant to use antibiotics, very pro-breastfeeding, was very helpful with regard to vaccinations, did soy milk vs. cow's milk. Do any other parents have any doctor they recommend? Our doctor's advice for ear infections, for instance, was to used mullein oil in the ears (garlic, olive oil) for a few days before doing antibiotics.
Any recommendations much appreciated!
Thanks for all the recommendations! Between these and those on another board, I did pick a doctor to use. He's part of a group, Austin Regional Clinic (off 183 and Braker). Dr. Prochnow's number is ###-###-#### and I guess its' hard to get an appointment but we got in due to a cancellation. Everyone in the office was so nice as was the doctor himself. We were concerned about water in my son's ear since he failed his hearing test but they told me that his ears are perfectly fine and clear, no problems. It was probably just swimmer's ear but they treated it seriously and took good care of him.
My daughter use to go to Capital texas ped off of 38 1/2. Dr.Mani is great with kids. We changed because I live in drippingSprings and I have a great ped Dr here in Town. Capital Texas Ped has a website also... They have meet the dr days also... Hope this helps

I use Southwest Pediatric Associates in South Austin. They are located on Hwy 1826. I use Dr Patil. She is very caring. She was very encourging to me when I was having trouble breastfeeding my first daughter.
Dr. Michael Fischer in Lakeway is awesome. He is very down-to-earth, doesn't sugar-coat things, and is a lot like how you describe your previous pediatrician. His office is on Lohman's Crossing, and his number is ###-###-####.
I really like my Doctor. Dr Fagerberg in Westlake. She works for Westlake Family Practice. Thay are all super nice and understanding there. I would highly recommend them.
