He makes me feel so at ease and is up to date on new studies and medical research. He's definitely pro breast feeding too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1593956 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 20:00:27 +0000 daniellemybelle 1593956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I like ours okay but kind of want to switch. He's nice &amp; I trust his medical advice, but he's not overly thorough or attentive &amp; sometimes I feel rushed which I hate. Can you PM me your doctor, if you don't mind?</p> <p>Edit to add - after reading another doctor related thread, I will say that I appreciate that ours is pretty up on the latest research &amp; will cite it when giving advice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1593721 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 17:01:20 +0000 mrsjazz 1593721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saw ours today. I loved that when I asked her about weaning she asked "Are you ready to wean or are you feeling pressured to wean? If you're not ready and things are going well, don't worry about it but if you want to stop I can give you some pointers." &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1593714 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 16:58:38 +0000 chopsuey 1593714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love ours so much! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592663 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:55:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1592663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love love love our pediatrician. He was so instrumental in our BFing success. He is IBCLC and teaches at the Newman Clinic. I had so much pain in the beginning and was dealing with a less than helpful GP. I went into a well visit for LO and he ended up doing a full LC consult. His DD is a month younger than mine and he seems like a good reasonable hands on dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592646 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:51:14 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1592646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love her! She is a mom to twins just a bit older than DD so she's not too far out what we're going through. She's also very conservative in her treatments and is a fan of BLW. We're moving soon and will have to leave her which makes me sad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592549 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:25:41 +0000 MoonMoon 1592549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like her pretty well. She's young, rides a motorcycle (!), and is generally laid back. But I get this weird feeling that she's nice because everything has gone well, if that makes sense? Like, she's been supportive of BFing, but only because LO gained weight well etc. Can't quite put my finger on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592540 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:23:29 +0000 Alivoo01 1592540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm eh about ours. Love our nurse though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592526 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:19:53 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1592526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:heart: :heart: :heart: her! She is so amazingly supportive and just awesome. IMO, goes beyond for us and has given me her cell personally to reach her if needed in situations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592520 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:18:29 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1592520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are with a practice...so we see a whoever is on that day. I do like most of them. There is a NP there who we're not fond of. She just seems incredibly unsure of her answers and causes a lot of unnecessary worry. But there is one doctor there who I absolutely love and so does LO. He cracks up at her all the time. LO has his 18 month well check on Monday and I'm hoping we get her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592504 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:15:58 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1592504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is awesome, she's so down to earth and doesn't rattle easily. With DS1 it was nice, but with DS2 it's a necessity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592070 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:52:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1592070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: isn't it great to have a friend like that?! I feel like I'm on call half the time for my friends from med school or before. I don't mind and I'm glad they trust me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592059 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:49:09 +0000 Smurfette 1592059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like her! I wouldn't say love but I don't want to switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592050 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:47:36 +0000 cmomma17 1592050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE him, and really love his nurse too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592045 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:46:18 +0000 swurlygurl 1592045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love her a lot - I can't believe how lucky I got!! I didn't do any research at all (just looked online and basically closed my eyes and pointed my finger at a name a month before I gave birth), but she's perfect for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592037 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:44:27 +0000 MamaMoose 1592037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: I totally want to be BFFs with my pediatrician. He has also admitted to us that part of his ability to deal with my crazy questions so nicely comes from the fact that his wife is equally neurotic so I figure she must be pretty cool too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1592034 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:43:25 +0000 MamaMoose 1592034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: A good friend of mine is a peds resident at Vandy (was offered chief resident but declined). The poor girl gets SO many texts from me all of which start with "Normal, or not normal....". She just announced that next year she'll become a Neonatal Intensive Care Hospitalist at Vandy and I'm so excited for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591911 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:17:49 +0000 Ra 1591911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a fan. We are in the process of switching him to a different practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591898 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:16:07 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1591898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were lucky to have an inside track as to who would be best for us. I wanted someone evidence based but compassionate. She's a former chief resident and indulges all my paranoid pediatrician worries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591873 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:10:15 +0000 Silva 1591873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love him. He is gentle, relaxed, informed, helpful....I kind of want to be BFFs with him. He's also one of my husband's supervisors....so maybe someday? He's a pretty amazing person in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591861 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 08:08:05 +0000 blackbird 1591861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like her a lot but she's a good 30 min drive from the house so I'm heavily thinking when to switch to someone nearby. The drive is killing me, because it's 20 min to daycare, then 30 min to the ped </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591686 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 07:07:20 +0000 Anagram 1591686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I *love* our primary ped, but she is in a practice with other doctors and I don't like the other woman that is usually there when we have a last-minute sick visit.</p> <p>AND...my good Ped is having a baby soon and will be on maternity leave, leaving us with the "bad" ped--so we may switch to somewhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591643 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 06:45:57 +0000 looch 1591643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted not overly impressed, we are on our 5th pediatrician due to moves and doctors retiring or leaving practices.</p> <p>I tolerate her because of the other services offered by the practice, nutritionist, sleep specialist, asthma specialist, endocrinologist, urgent kids walk in all days plus weekends, portal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591525 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 00:27:04 +0000 lamariniere 1591525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love ours. He speaks English, which is important, was recommended by everyone at school and in the neighborhood, we can always get in same day, he makes house calls and is in the building next door to our apartment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591488 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 23:30:59 +0000 singingbee 1591488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love him. He takes his time with us and answers all out questions. The office is great too! They all love her. Everytime we come in they want to take a new photo of her because she is usually dressed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591482 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 23:26:39 +0000 pinkcupcake 1591482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't go so far as to say love, but I like her a lot! She's easy to talk to and very understanding of all my crazy questions :) I think a couple times I caught her on a bad day and she was a little rushed and not in the best mood, but that's def not the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591475 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 23:21:12 +0000 birdofafeather 1591475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we really liked our ped (wasn't love) but we had to change insurance with obamacare... so now we actually don't have a ped. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591443 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 22:47:04 +0000 Boheme 1591443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love, LOVE our ped. He is a dad of pre-school age twin boys, and strikes the perfect balance of natural practices and mainstream medicine. I once sent him a text about C's fever, and he worked him in that same hour bc he suspected ear infection, and he was right! He is very passionate about his work, and we just love him to bits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591439 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 22:40:10 +0000 Elderberrygin 1591439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love her! She's so great at guiding new parents through the newborn stage. And she recognised my PPD and was incredibly supportive, encouraged me to seek help and gave me lots of practical tips to get through it. She has four children of her own and was very open about her own experiences with PPD/PPA. I'm going to cry at next month's check up when we tell her we're relocating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-like-your-pediatrician#post-1591431 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 22:36:01 +0000 sandy 1591431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love her and completely trust her. Love her office too. They have a very responsive nurse line during office hours and never make me feel bad for calling. If it sounds bad but doesn't warrant a visit they'll often call the next day to check up. The after hours line is amazing too. They will stay on the phone with you to listen to your baby breath and call back at 2am to follow up. They are amazing. </p>
