Ours is pretty far - about 15 miles. We LOVE our pediatrician, though so we wouldn't consider getting a closer one. We know other people in our town that travel out to our pediatrician, as well. People just love them so much (they're a big practice with a lot of doctors and weekend hours).
-
3 blocks. That's why we chose it. I like our ped but I feel like there are probably better out there. But the convenience is so nice that we will stick with them.
-
About .4 of a mile. But they have weekend offices that are about a 15 minute drive and we've taken LO several times when she's sick on weekends.
-
Oh man, we loved our pediatrician, but we switched because she was too far away!
Now we see one about 2.5 miles away and I am equally happy. Especially on days like today where I have to leave work early, pick her up from daycare (which is right by our house), and take her to the ped....instead of driving 30 min to daycare, then 30 min to the ped
-
About 25 minutes from our house, but only a 5 minute drive from my work/LO's daycare. That's the more convenient distance to judge by for us.
-
1 mile. Convenient!
-
About 10 minutes from our house. It's actually really nice since we switched, which used to be a 25 minute drive at least.
-
We originally chose one that was 3 minutes from home - literally one intersection outside our neighborhood. It was great for the newborn days, but the care was seriously lacking. I'm talking about giving him the wrong immunizations. We switched to an office half an hour away which is fine with us because we drive to specialists 30-60 minutes away on a regular basis anyway.
-
Ours is also far. We use to live in the same neighborhood but then moved. Ours is now 15 miles away from out house.
-
40 miles or so. Inconvenient but worth it. He used to practice in my town but moved a few years ago. So many people followed and stayed with him though and we picked him because everyone sang such high praises. We haven't been disappointed.
It's a straight 45 min drive on the interstate though so not bad
-
2 miles away, 3 stops on the subway or a 10-minute cab ride. They are building a branch closer to us that we'd be able to walk to but I really like our specific ped so we won't switch to the closer one.
-
Our ped is about 15 minutes from our home which isn't a big deal for us. Plus, we love him!
-
Maybe 3 miles? Just right in town where we live, I love it. Bonus, I love the doctor, too!
-
Ours is about 115 kms (70miles) but we only go there every 6 months if there's a major issue. It's not really common for people to have pediatricians in our area. They just visit their GP.
-
10-15 minutes or so, it's closer to daycare and my work. We loved the pediatrician and could have went to the closer office to home, but she wouldn't be there. We wanted her so it's worth it.
-
10 minute drive
-
like 8 miles, but about 20 mins with traffic and lights.
-
2 minutes? We love it!
-
About 10 mins from our house. And 2 mins from day care. It's great.
-
20 mins from home. Used to be 5 mins before we moved
-
About 10 highway miles from daycare (and less than that from home). It's not super convenient, but we love the practice.
-
5 minutes, so convenient!
-
6 miles
-
3 blocks. Definitely one of the biggest considerations was location -and proximity.
-
25 mins in the car.
-
5 minutes and directly across from the hospital we use.
-
I would guess about 3 miles.
-
About 10-15 min drive away, on the other side of our (very small) town.
-
2 blocks. so convenient.
-
About 14 blocks, which is a 15-20 minute walk or 2 stops on the subway and on a bus line too
-
5 minutes! Love them and the location couldn't be more convenient.
-
5 minute drive and a 20 minute walk.
-
I can't help but find it amusing that 15 miles is far for you! lol i think ours is around 25 or 30, as is my OB. It's pretty normal for us to drive that far to do anything. There are places closer (about 10 miles) but the quality of places in our small town isn't always the best....
-
5 mins and they've been great so far!
-
2-3 minute drive or a 15 min walk.
-
4 and a half miles and it takes about 15 minutes to get there, so not too bad.
-
45 minutes but worth it.
-
Far. Like half an hour. I wish she was closer but I love her so it is worth the drive.
-
we don't have a ped (not common here?), but our family doc's practice is about a half hour away on the highway. she only works 2 days a week. we love her though, and have pretty much never needed her outside of vaccinations etc, so it's all good!
-
10 minutes away (less if I don't hit red lights). I like being close to the ped....our gen practitioner for DH and I are at the same location. After living in the city for 10 years and having to trek and deal with horrible parking and traffic to go see the doctor, it's a breath of fresh air living in the 'burbs!
