Pediatrician Requests in the Edina/Bloomington Area

We go to Southdale Pediatrics and see Dr. Neis-he is great. I would recommend him to anyone. He's very laid back, has his own young kids so he's in a position to relate, and takes his time with you, doesn't rush you out the door. We had picked out a different doctor but he was the one on rounds when we delivered and we switched to him because we liked him so much.

I am also having my first baby in September. I am a 2nd grade teacher, so I asked my student's parents who they recommended and the majority of them said Metro Peds. I have heard nothing but good things about them and 2 of the DR's have children at my school. When I told my DR this is where I decided to go, she said she takes her child there and loves it!

I take my daughter to Southdale Peds we see Dr. Jason Kooch as her primary. We have also seen a number of the other Drs for short notice appointments. I have really like everyone there and they are great with my daughter. I also like that they have on-site x-rays and lab. So I don't have to make multiple appointments and drive all over for things like that. Good luck and Congrats on your baby.

dr. dina curran at southdale peds is amazing. she takes her time, listens to you and really is there for you and most of all your child.

Hello! I used to work in the birth/postpartum floor at Abbott Northwestern, and can honestly tell you that Metro Peds is a fabulous clinic. The doctors are very well liked, and talk to you like you're an equal.

I, however take my son to Partners in Pediatrics:

I don't know if there is a clinic in Edina or not, but they do have clinics all over the place. I love them- they are wonderful!

Metro Peds has been our pediatric group for 12+years. Our pediatrician is Tom Stealey. Excellent. Great nurses, technicians, Saturday hours, Sunday for emergencies. They round at Children's Hospital. Great flu shot clinic. Highly recommend.

Tim Johanson of Metropolitan Pediatrics in Edina and Shakopee - He's been my pediatrician for 8 years and is so above and beyond any other dr - solved many problems for us no other dr could figure out.

Hi M., I have a 7 month old boy and I
take him to Southdale Peds. I can't tell you
how well they have treated us. Dr. Bodine is
great! He spends a lot of time with you. I've
been to offices where they are so busy the try
to get you out as fast as possible. Also with a new
baby, you will have a lot of questions and you can call
any time and talk to a nurse. They have always been
helpful no matter what your concern is.
I would highly recommend this office!

I have taken my son to metropolitan peds for 3 years now and they do a great job! Everyone is really nice and they always answer my questions! I hope that helps!!

I take my 11 month-old to Park Nicollet Clinic in Bloomington. Dr. Kromarczuk is amazing! He takes so much time with us at every appt, and he is always supportive, not judgmental, when discussing our sleeping/eating struggles with our son. The nurses are also great, and we've never had to wait for more than 5 minutes, even when we went in without an appointment one day when my son hit his head.

Southdale Ped's is great. My family has been going to the Burnsville locations for almost 20 years. I went as a kid and now I take my three kids there. We even have the same doctor. Dr. Anderson is the best doctor. He diagnosed my brother with cancer at the very earlist stages he is now 19 years old and cancer free. He was 9 months when he was diagnosed. Southdale peds has 12 of the top 100 doctors (not just pediatricians) in Minnesota. I would take my kids any where else.

Hello. How are you? I don't have any experience with either of those clinics, but I can recommend Dr. Mary Beth Hanson at Park Nicollet Clinic on Hyland Greens Dr in Bloomington. It's on the corner of west 98th street & Normandale BLVD. She is absolutely wonderful with Austin (2.5 yrs old) and Natalie (6 wks old). She answers all my question honestly and returns my phone calls no matter what I happen to think up. Dr. Hanson came highly recommended to me from my aunt. I just love her!

We've gone to Metro Peds since my daughter was born and they are awesome. You can get in on weekends if you need to and the nurse line is awesome so I would recommend them.

I take my 15-month-old twin girls to Dr. Heezen at Park Nicollet in Bloomington. We all love her! She's always willing to answer questions. She doesn't pass any judgement on the parenting choices that we make. She returns my calls promptly (no matter how small the issue is). We've been SO happy with her.

Hello!
I completely agree with your OB. I currently use Southdale Peds and everyone has been great! I have 3 children and have been with Southdale for nearly 7 years. If you are looking at individual peds, I recommend Dr. Lutz. He is great with children and is very good about discussing fully any concerns parents have. I also like Dr. Oster, but she is very busy. You can google the web site for Southdale and it gives info about each doc.
Good luck!!

I have taken my son to Metropolitan Peds since he was born. There are many doctors there who seem to specialize in many different health issues. My son has a great primary, and a great support system for the unexpected (he broke a foot and they ahve a doctor that even "specialized" in pediatric sports medicine!!!

Good luck with the new baby!!!
