I'm 5 mts pregnant and have been told to start looking for a pediatrician. First baby, no clue where to start. Any recommendations? I live in Gladstone/Jefferson Park, Chicago, about 10 mins. from Park Ridge.
We use Northside Suburban Pediatrics at Cicero and Peterson. We see Dr. Karaman but we've had good experiences with 2-3 of the other doctors there. It's a group of 4 women pediatricians and I really like them. Their number is ###-###-####.
I would highly recommend the pediatric clinic at Lutheran General. We went to Dr. Kristi Lundblad there, but they're all good. They're in Yacktman Pavillion.
I live and Jefferson Park and my 13 month old son sees Dr. Belmonte from Lutheran General Hosp.
The office is actually in the hospital. It is bright and cheery and the staff is great. Several pediatricians and residents work in the office, so you can always be seen. They run a clinic from 8-8:45 in the morning and if you show up at that time, you can guarantee being seen by a doctor. Good Luck!
We go to Dr. Anne Wyman of Town & Country Pediatrics, located at 6374 N. Lincoln (basically Devon & Lincoln). Not sure if that's convenient for you. I think she's great. She has a very easy-going manner with the children and they really like her and have no fear of the doctor. The practice is also good about getting you in for sick visits and having a nurse answer questions over the phone. They are also very timely - at my old practice I was used to long waits at the doctor's office - here, I am usually seen right after I get there. They have other locations (Clyborn/Lincoln Park and Glenview)which I have also used...the Clyborn/Lincoln Park location is open after hours. Phone: ###-###-####. http://www.townandcountrypeds.com/
