I need to pick a pediatrician in the next month. My main priorities are:

1. convenience to downtown or near downtown
2. responsive practice
3. provider that believes in the benefit of breastfeeding

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Kat

So What Happened?

We ended up going with Dr. Tarnowski at Children and Adolescent Health Associates and are SO happy. She is knowledgable, nice and never makes you feel like you're asking a dumb question. Her demeanor with my son is amazing and I look forward to our visits with her.

Ive called the nurses a few times and they are super responsive as well. Thank you for the advice!!

I have been really happy with The Northwestern Children's Practice:

We see Dr. Goldstein. Although we have had same-day visits with other doctors and have been very happy with all of the staff.

When my daughter was born I was really excited to breastfeed! It was a challenge - but he was always supportive. They also have a lactaction consultant (RN) who I met with and was wonderful!

There are many benefits to a group practice. Early morning walk-in clinic and same day appointments.

They will also meet with you if you would like a pre-natal visit!

Good luck!

Love Dr. Cari A Tarnowski (Dr. T). My daughter adores her. One of the Docs has no bedside manner at all -- Dr. Clark I think. Or at least that was my experience. If Dr. T wasn't available everyone else we have seen was bwonderful.

We travel from western 'burbs to see Dr. T if that is any indication of how we feel.

Northwestern Children's Practice. We moved to the suburbs 2 years ago and I still take my girls down there. Love them.

Karen Wilson is wonderful! Dr "T" came to see both of my newborns before we left the hospital. They are very caring, responsive and definitely support breastfeeding! Good luck with your decision and congrats on your soon-to-arrive new little one!
