Seeking Pediatrician - Cary,IL

"Children and Teens" right across the street from the hospital in the Smith Building is excellent! We switched to them last year (based on a recommendation from another parent and my OBGYN takes her daughter there) and I can't believe how much better my daughter does with them and how professional they are compared to my last Dr. We use Dr. Fell in their practice.

I like our pediatrician - Mary J. Gawronski, she is with pediatric specialists of NorthWest - offices in Barrington and Cristal Lake. She is very personable, and takes time to get to know you and your family. She loves babies and kids and seems to be truely enjoying her work. She has three kids herself.

Its a pretty big practice with 7-8 different doctors, but ones that I had seen I liked. I have four small kids, so I had been to the pediatrician a lot. The only thing, when you call in, there is a cumbersome phone system with a lot of menu options, but I got used to this and it doesn't bother me anymore. Their phone number is ###-###-####. Their website is www.mypedsdoc.com.

We use Children and Teens also - Dr. Megahead is my son's doctor and my son LOVES him - he is great with children!

I have used Lakeshore Pediatrics for my three children and although there are many doctors in that practice, I like and trust all of them. You may also make an appointment with one particular doctor each time. Their office is in the building adjacent to Good Shepherd, and Dr. Michaels is by far my favorite. Good luck!

I take my children to Children's Medical Group in Lake in the Hills...Dr.'s Jason Tjaden and Erin O'Brien are wonderful and all of the staff from the nurses to the front desk are always friendly. Very kid friendly and family oriented office and practice and I can say that I have always felt comfortable with these two ped's (not the case with the first ped I encountered). They are on staff at GSH. Best Wishes as you await the arrival of your grandchild!

I currently use pediatrics associate and I use only dr jonathan kaufman.. He is wonderful and knowledgeable . Plus I feel using one doctor he or she knows my child. He has three locations barrington (next hospital and where I had my son) crystal lake and elgin. I was referred to him by family members and very close friends.. Good luck!! He does interviewing too if she wouuld like to interview him before the birth.. Just call the office let them know yoyu are looking and would like to meet the doctor first and then if he or she fits then you can make a better selection.. I interview many and still found dr kaufman my only fit and choice of what I was looking for wIth my first child.

I also see Dr. Jonathan Kaufman from Pediatric Associates of Barrington. My daughter was diagnosed with a rare medical condition and Dr. Kaufman was wonderful throughout the entire process. When he was out of ideas, he was happy to send us to specialists who were able to finally diagnose my little one. I trust him 110%.

My 2 boys see the peds over at Pediatric Assoc of Barrington. They have an office right next to GSH and they also have an office in Crystal Lake. I believe that they just opened a new office out of the new Sherman Hospital but I haven't been there yet. I have seen all of the docs out of that practice and I like them all. And the NPs are even better - Nurse Pat is my favorite! There #s are ###-###-#### - Barrington and ###-###-#### - Crystal Lake. Their website is www.pediatric-associates.net.

We absolutely adore Dr. Mary Collins from Pediatric Specialists of the Northwest. She has always gone above and beyond to make sure my two sons are taken care of - she has referred us on to specialists when needed and when we were out of state and needed medical care for our newborn she made sure we got the best care possible. I highly recommend her!

Love Algonquin Children and Teens. They have an office in Algonquin and Barrington.
I like that they cite recent research when answering questions.
