Question

Anyone have a pediatrician they love that’s affiliated with Northwest Community hospital? My kids pediatrician is retiring  

Answer 1

We like Dr Melissa Turner with Pediatric Associates. Very down to earth and easy to talk to. I’ve seen other Drs in the practice too and have had great experiences with all of them! Also she listens and accepts my decisions as their parent.

Thats the office we go to as well but don’t see one doctor in particular just whoever is there that day. I like them all!

@candlewick233 how is getting in for sick appointments?  

---

We go here too and have never had a problem getting in when sick. One of the docs even stayed after hours one day when my kid needed a nebulizer.  

---

I also vote for Pediatric Associates of Arlington Heights. All of the doctors and nurses are great. Never had a problem getting for a sick visit, and they do go above and beyond. 2 of my kids have been hospitalized with croup at northwest and even though there are hospitalists to see the patients, one of the doctors from the office still came and saw us.  

Answer 2

Dr Brown! North Arlington pediatrics are all the docs at NCH

@wyler5845 what do you love about Dr Brown?  

---

@considered with having my first she really helped me feel confident in my decisions for my son. Also she has great bedside manner with him and doesn't make visits stressful

---

We've been really happy with Dr. Peters at the same practice. Great with my boys (always making them laugh) and very laid back but professional.  

---

@wyler5845 is it hard to get an appointment when your kiddos are sick?  

---

@considered when he's been sick I've been willing to seen any of the doctors there. I'd rather just get in than necessarily just see her

---

@wyler5845 so your are able to get in the same day for a sick appointment?  

---

@considered yes always and they have a separate sick waiting room

Answer 3

We love Arlington Pediatrics. All the doctors are so wonderful and their hours are awesome including Sunday sick appts.  

Answer 4

North Arlington pediatrics.  

Answer 5

Love Dr Mark Rothschild.  

Answer 6

Love all the doctors at North Arlington Pediatrics. We see Dr. Alfano for well visits, she is absolutely wonderful

Comments

And I have had excellent experiences with Drs. Peters and Brown mentioned above. Also love Dr. Walsh

---

@portage6 agree with all of the above doctors, they are all wonderful!  

Answer 7

Ours too :( 35% of independent practitioners will close their practice because of COVID

Comments

@extrorse Lee it’s so sad. He was older and knew we probably only had a few more years with him but I’m going to miss all the wonderful nurses that knew my babies so well!  

---

@considered so was ours, him and the nurses were just amazing. Felt like we were visiting grandpa for the visits  

Answer 8

Another vote for North Arlington Pediatrics! I have never had a bad experience there in 7 years. I love all the doctors and they are VERY VERY knowledgeable and leaders/professors in their field. Have never had a problem getting a same day sick appointment.
