Pediatrician Accepting Medicaid
I need to find a Pediatrician for my daughter that accepts medicaid. The dr she has been seeing all her life does not accept medicaid. Due to my unemployment situation that is all I have at this time. I've searched on line and cannot find a list of drs who accept new medicaid patients. I don't want to use the phone book. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

See Dr Sudha Shah at ###-###-#### She may be on Devon and a bit away from you, but she is the most genuine, warm, caring doc I've had for my little girl. She answers all my q's never rushes people and has such a loyal patient population. She takes medicaid.

Hey, I feel your pain. I'm in a very similar situation. I take my daughter to Anderson Medical Associates in Des Plaines. My daughter just loves her doctor, Dr. Rebecca Bergmann. Very nice woman. Tells it like it is, and has a sense of humor.

I wouldd try your local clinic health department and/or apply for WIC through DHS in Chicago.
Also try All Kids (th egovernment funded program for kids.

You could also go to the Infant Welfare Society on Fullerton in Logan Square. They provide physicals, immunizations, and even a dental clinic--all that accepts public aid. And they also have a sliding fee schedule for those not covered by public aid. Dr. Gibbs is the pediatrician my nieces see. I worked at the dental clinc for five years, and I can say that they provide excellent care. If your daughter needs a physical, she may also need a dental exam, and they can do that there. The number there is ###-###-####. Good luck.
