Seeking New Pediatrician - Southborough,MA

We've used Dr. Louann Maffei at the Westborough office of Southborough Medical. She's been great for years and my son is almost 20! I don't know her position on the vaccines but you could ask her - I asked for and received an interview when I was pregnant so I could check her out. She's not an alarmist and she does listen to parents. I think she asks great questions during physicals - for example, she asks about social relationships, friends, teachers, not just about traditional medical issues. The Westborough office is smaller but you would have access to Southborough as needed for things like blood tests, xrays, and so on - it's nice having it nearby. Southborough Medical is a bigger building with all kinds of specialties and a large staff. You could also check them out although I don't know any of the pediatricians personally. Another great pediatrician is Robert Basow in Hopkinton (I think) - he used to be with Dr. Maffei but then bought a practice of a retiring pediatrician. We saw him many times when my son was younger and think the world of him.

I'm not sure the answer to the vaccine question, but I ADORE Framingham Pediatrics. My kids see Dr. Rosselot, but I think we have a good relationship with Drs Hicks and Crawford too. In fact, there's only one dr (Baumel) who I don't really like. They have call times from 8.30-9 every morning, so you can talk to a dr about things that don't really warrant an appointment. They have a dr on call (rather than a nurse service) and they are open for emergency visits 365 days/year. The nurses are super great too. They're right by Shoppers World/BJ's in Framingham.

In my opinion, its at least worth asking them about the vaccine thing. They might mention it on their website too www.framinghampediatrics.com. I vaccinate and believe strongly in vaccinations, but when I wanted to pass on the "optional" hep A (I think it was) Dr. Rosselot was totally fine with that and not pushy at all.

Hi R.,
My daughter is all grown up now at age 27.
But Framingham Pediatrics was wonderful.
We saw Dr. Nancy Rosselot.
She is super. Melissa stayed with her until she finished college or age 23 she was sad to leave her.
They are on 125 Newbury St. Framingham

Good Luck,
S.
