I am looking for a new pediatrician for my son who is 18 months old (I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with our second child). We live in Boynton Beach and our current pediatrician's office is in Boca Raton. I have changed pediatricians once before, but I still cannot seem to find the right fit for us. We prefer an office that when you call, a doctor actually calls you back. We also would like a friendly, clean office :-). Does anyone out there LOVE their child's pediatrician??? I remember my pediatrician who was warm and caring and really seemed to know about our family!

What can I do next?

Ours is in Wellington. Is that too far for you? It's Pediatric Associates on Southshore Drive, Dr. Stephen Raamen (I can't remember the correct spelling). 798-KIDS is the number.

I call with a question, and they literally get back to me within 10 minutes. Usually it's a nurse but they consult the doctor and call right back. There was a night where I was really concerned about Leah and Dr. Raaman called me right back after I used the answering service to notify him. He is kind, gentle, and gives great advice on behavioral questions as well as physical health issues. His advice has helped us on too many occasions to count.

I've heard good things about Drs Lofton (with Pediatric Associates in Boynton) and Edelstein (on his own I believe). Good luck!

Pediatrics by the Sea and Dr. Bradford is great!
He answers all his phone calls - no answering service.
He is in Delray Beach, so that's near you.
Waiting room is a bit small, but they are adding to the building - it's a cute little house!

I have a WONDERFUL pediatrician. I am a pediatric ER nurse and have a beautiful 10 month old son. His doctor runs his own practice all week and then works in the ER on weekends. I have seen this man in every situation you could imagine and I will tell you he is incredible. His office is not fancy ( it's actually kinda in need of a decorator- haha)but when I was deciding on a doctor I thought do I need a fancy office or a doctor that I can trust my son's life with. Anyway his office is in Boynton Beach he is board certified in pediatrics and adults.
