    About a 20 min subway ride. I have considered switching, but DD is obsessed with the subway and it is one of the few time that she gets to ride so we are staying put for now.

    He used to be literally next door, and then we moved. Now it takes about 20 minutes walking + public transit.

    About 15 minutes. I love the practice we use, and nothing else is really closer with traffic.

    Oh wow, I'm jealous of most of you! When my babies were originally born the pedi was 15 minutes away. Now we live in a more rural area and the pedi is a 45-minute drive. They have a 24-hour nurse line, though, and phone/video appointments, so basically we only go for well checks and call first on anything else. Generally a call or video appt for sickness comes w/ home care instructions, and we only go in if it gets worse. It was a real pain when we had a bout of ear infections last year!

    8 minutes if I hit a stop light (roughly 4 miles) the hospital and my OB are all right in that same area. We love our pediatrician, I'd drive a lot further if necessary.

    Not far at all, about a 12 minute drive without any highway travel. I love our pediatric office. Well visits and nonsick kids check in and wait in a different main room from the sick patients.

    About 35-40 minutes, though it's wOrth it to us as one of the doctors in the practice is an old friend of ours.

    30 minutes. There are a ton closer but it was really important to me to have a ped with a more holistic approach. We love him and the drive isn't so bad.
