We just moved here last month and I need to find a pediatrician for my 2 year old son and the one I'm pregnant with. I had a fantastic pediatrician back in Memphis...he really loved kids and it showed. Do any of you absolutely LOVE your pediatrician?

I prefer the Edina/Bloomington area. Thanks! =)

What can I do next?

I really really like Dr Doug Martin at Park Nicollet, Chanhassen. He's an excellent doctor who is very good with my 14 month old son.

J.,
My pediatrician is in Burnsville at the Ridges Clinic. Her name is Dr. Puri (she's from India). I absolutely love her. She is so gentle with my 2 year old. When Ava put her elbow out of place, Dr. Puri put it in place while giving her kisses. She has always called me back when I've had a question about Ava, even on the weekend when she was on call at the hospital. She was actually a referal from my daycare provider who has been with her from 12 years. She is wonderful and I'd recommend her to any and everyone.

Hope you find someone you like.

We love Southlake Pediatrics - not sure if there is one near you (there are several clinics) They are great with kids of all ages and always available.
Same day appointments are no problem and they are available over the phone as well - great group!

I am very happy at Southdale Pediatrics in Edina. Our pediatrician is Amy Manolis but we have seen more of the group and have been nothing but pleased with them.

J., we LOVE our pediatrician. It is Pediatric Services in St. Louis Park - right on Minnetonka Blvd at Hwy 100. We use Dr. Steven Inman, who may not be accepting aptients right now, but I have had great luck with the other doctors in the practice too. Their office is really nice, we've never had to wait to get in and even their billing department is pleasant to work with. Their number is ###-###-####. Good Luck!

HI J.-

I take my two year old daughter to Southdale Peds, they have two locations: one in Edina and the other in Eden Prairie. We go to the Eden Prairie location and see Lisa Kroening the Nurse Practitioner. She is absolutely wonderful. Haley had a pretty bad cold so we took her into see Lisa and she prescribed some medicine and then the next day was Saturday, her day off, she called our home to make sure Haley was doing better. She has always gone above and beyond for us and she sincerely cares. So I would recommend checking out Southdale peds.

Have a great day
Andria

I have a 6 month old little boy & I bring him to Partners in Pediatrics. They have several locations - the one closest to you would be in Uptown - 31st & Hennepin - ###-###-#### - they have a website that is www.pipstop.com. We see Dr. Savitt. He is AWESOME. He only works out of that office on Tuesday's though. They also have a Maple Grove office that is open in the evenings & on Saturday & Sunday mornings. Dr. Savitt is listed as one of the "Top Doctor's" in the Mpls St. Paul magazine for 2006.

I love our Pediatrician, she has seen both my girls since birth they are now 3 1/2 years and 18 months. It is Edina Peds in Edina and their numner is ###-###-####. It is a small clinic with mostly female staff, small enough where the nurses know your kids by name. Dr. Wengler is who we see, she is great, very personable, knowlegable and great with kids. They other pediatrician there is Dr, Thompson, who has won all types of pediatrician awards, and she is the older of the 2 doctors, but her bed-side manner is not as sweet and gentle as Dr. Wengler. Also, I am in a play group and have hard many not so great things from other moms about Metro Peds, just so you. Good luck! Email me if you have any other questions.
