Need GREAT Pediatrician near LaGrange, IL

Since my son started day care, he has been sick more than he has been well. I understand that this is common. However, we are not necessarily happy with the care he's receiving at his pediatrician's office for a number of reasons. (I'd prefer not to say who his doctor is since many of my friends' kids go to this practice and they are perfectly happy. I don't want to taint anyone else's view of this practice...) If anyone can point us towards a GREAT pediatrician in this area, I would so greatly appreciate it!

So What Happened?

Well, we haven't switched doctors yet, but I'm still not satisfied with the office we're going to. The staff is extremely rude, and although I think the doctors are extremely knowledgeable, they don't have the warmest bedside manner. I want my son's doctor to take the time to answer all of my questions/concerns rather than looking at what I brought him in for and then rushing out. So I'm still searching and think I'm finally fed up enough to start calling some of the places you've recommended. Thanks for all of your suggestions!

I agree wit hJulie! About Dr Lewis & Ass. Dr Laskonsis, Dr. Lewis, & Dr Maitland. All are wonderful female Drs! My sister-in law used them with my nephew before they moved out of side, so she reccommended me to them when I was pregnant with my daughter. I've always has nothing but great experieces with them. If my daughter is ever sichk I can get an appt that day to see one of the Drs.
Here is their info..
Dr. Mary Lewis & Ass.
6428 Joliet Road

We love Dr. Matusiak at Elmhurst Hospital. He is a D.O. and all about preventative care (although he will dose meds when necessary). He spends the time we need with us and as a father of four - he gets it. Probably not the most convenient location for you, but we drive from Glen Ellyn to see him.

There is a fantastic pediatrician that I use for my son and myself. He still has an awesome bedside manner which is really hard to find. I have referred 3 friends to him all were extremely satisfied. I used to live in Countryside and now I drive from Chicago to still see him. His name is Dr. Greg Ozark. He is with Loyola located in Darien. His number is ###-###-####. I hope this helps.

We use Dr. George Tomecki in Brookfield. He is a General Practicioner but we switched to him after going to a pediatrician in La Grange and get much better care and thorough exams than we did before. He is the father of young twins and is great with kids. Highly recommend him!

Hands down, Dr. Mary Lewis in Countryside. She also has Dr. Laskonis in her practice and we LOVE them. I actually had Dr. Lewis as a kid. We had preemie twins nearly a year ago and our little girl has had a ton of health problems. She spent 4 months in the NICU at the hospital when she was born and she came home on oxygen and 9 medications. Dr. Lewis has always been right there for us and our daughter and has given good, yet reasonable advice. We also live in La Grange and have a 2 1/2 year old boy. They always fit you in and we have literally never even had to wait in the waiting room. You can reach them on weekends if you have concerns and I trust them completely. Good luck!

Another mom mentioned Ozark who is great. We see Dr. Veselik at the same Loyola office in Darien. I highly recommend them. I think the nurses there are great too. Good luck!
