Need Help Finding a Pediatrician for Our First Baby Due in October.

First time parents looking for pediatrician. We would like to compile a list of possible candidates to interview by the time the baby arrives. We are also concerned about vaccinations and want to make an informed decision on wether to vaccinate or not or to space out vaccines. We are also interested in a doctor that practices wellness and or alternative care along with conventional medicine. Please let us know of any good doctors out there. We live in the Glendale area but don't mind traveling to Burbank,Pasadena,Hollywood or surrounding areas. Thanks for any help

There's Dr. Kenneth Y. Huang in Arcadia, if you don't mind driving East. He's very responsive and gets back to you on off days too.

Check out Glendale Pediatrics. I love them. Dr. Feuille is the main doctor, but we have seen most of the doctors in the practice at some point, and have loved them all.
They spend quite a bit of time with you and answer questions and explain things. They do not rush to use antibiotics and such, but rather will try solving things naturally first.
I can't say enough good things about them. Really fantastic.
Their website is: www.glendalepediatrics.com.
This is a very important decision, so you're wise to be doing your homework on this!
Take care,
M.

T., I highly suggest Dr. Paul Fleiss, who was recommended to us by our amazing midwife, Tonya Brooks. Dr. Fleiss is truly one of the most amazing pediatricians my husband and I have ever met! He grants so much kindness to children and has such a big heart. We love that he passionately advocates nursing, always recommends natural remedies, and highly supports our decision not to vaccinate or circumcise our dazzling son, Dylan Orion, who so loves him and his staff.

Here's Dr. Fleiss' data:

1824 N. Hillhurst Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90027.

Also, Dr. Jay Gordon and Dr. Lauren Feder are amazing!

Here's their data:

If he is still around, I recommend Dr. Steven Nishibayashi on West Stocker Street in Glendale. He is fantastic.

I have a really great pediatrician. Dr.Sevran, she is located in Encino. She is very friendly, all the nurses are great. Office has a sick room, and a well check room. Each filled with toys. She is also in an office with 7 other great doctors. You have the option to see them if she can't get you in, isn't in, or out of town. Has same day appts available. Will return your call personally with any questions you have. If she is available she will take the call then. She is open to doing vaccinations the way you feel most comfortable. Breaking them up, all in one etc. I interviewed 20 and she was the only one I liked and was ok with doing certain things my way. I reccomend her to all of my friends and family. Her number is ###-###-####. And you can tell her J. B. refered you.

Hi. First off, congratulations. We had a really bad experience with our first pediatricians office and were recommended to glendale pediatrics. They are amazing. Dr. Henry is great and has been very understanding with doing alternative vaccine schedules. It has been such a postive experience with glendale pediatrics compared to our last pediatricians office. They really care about your child and show it!! Good luck!

We love our pediatrician, Dr. Henry at Glendale Pediatrics. We've seen several other doctors there and really think they're all great. They are pretty conservative in prescribing medication, and they will work with you on an alternate vaccination schedule (though they do prefer the standard schedule). They seem to take a pretty common-sense approach to everything.
Congratulations on your impending arrival! Hope you find a dr. you love.
