I am a mom of two with my 5 year old son with peanut/tree nut allergies and asthma. I took him to see a pediatric allergist Dr. Anick Gaye. She has an office at Loyola in Maywood and another office in Oakbrook near Roosevelt Rd. Very nice woman (french) very detailed and asks LOTS of questions. Very easy to talk to and the nurses are great as well. Also my neighbor has a son with similar problems and I recommended her and she loved her as well.

I agree with the other comments about Pedios. I searched out other Peds. but Pedios is the BEST for "day of" sick visits, after hour calls, Sat. sick visits and early morning call in times.

I've heard good things about Pedios People. I take my child to Ad Park, while the doctors are good, the billing dept. is horrible and they are closed every Wed. Busy practice and sometimes hard to get in.

We just moved to Oak Park and took my son to Pedios - they are phenomenal. I called on a Saturday morning and they fit us right in. I can't say enough about them. We will definitely be back.

Might I suggest instead of another pediatrician that you and your daughter begin going to an allergist. My two sons go to an awesome allergist she was referred to us by our ped-Rebecca Barbato out of Loyola University, in Maywood. The allergists name is Dr Annick Gaye, and she is Associate Professor of Pediatrics, specializing in Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology. She has been great with my sons-one son (my two year old) is allergic to: eggs, milk, wheat, soy, fish, peanuts, all tree nuts(walnuts, pecans etc). My 4 year son is allergic to all tree nuts. Dr Gaye, has helped us to a point where they both have no more breathing trouble because of allergic reactions, my 4 year does not have ezcema any more at all and my 2 year has rare flare ups. She is great! Here is the number ###-###-#### or 877-216-KIDS. It will be worth your time!

pedios in oak park is where I bring my sweetie and it seems that all my neighbors go there too. I like the fact that they have an hour in the morning when you can call and ask questions of the docs. I haven't had any problem getting in to see one of the docs. I am trying them all out at present to see which one I like. Currently, Dr. Turk is in the lead.
