Pediatrician in South Charlotte
hi everyone,
we're moving to Charlotte in a few weeks. If you could please recommend a good pediatrician, if possible holistic, homeopath, naturopath preferably in the area of south Charlotte. My little one has a history with pneumonia and breathing issues, so I'm trying to become as holistic as possible in order to prevent serious health issues and try to avoid antibiotics and other medication. I appreciate all your suggestions

Hi S.
Good luck with the move - Hopefully the following will help make your transition a smooth one
I too have a little one with breathing issues & history of pneumonia - We had him tested by 2 different doctors for allergies to no avail back in 06- finally after he was diag with pneumonia 3 times I found my Godsend - Dr. William Ashe -Pediatric Pulmonology - Asthma & Allergy Specialists - ###-###-####. He has been in practice for 20 yrs - He is a wonderful Doctor - I just can't say enough good things about him & what he has done to make my son's everyday living so much better.
Good luck!

I cannot help for a naturopath pediatrician, but the practice my children go to is excellent! It is Linderman Pediatrics in Matthews. I have two boys, 10 and 13. The 10 year old has cystic fibrosis (a genetic disease affecting lungs and digestion). They have been wonderful! If you do eventually need to see a specialist for your daughter's breathing problems, I can also recommend Asthma & Allergy Specialists. Their main office is in the Arboretum area of South Charlotte. Although we have moved away from South Charlotte, and now have a 45 minute toa n hour drive to the doctor, we wouldn't change for anything! Good luck!

Hi S.,
I have only lived here for a year and found this guy. I haven't had to go to him yet with my children but this is who I would go to. There doesn't seem to be many of them around and this guy seems to do it all. Here is his website. I hope you have a good and safe move. I hope this has helped you.

Hi S.!
Although my pediatrician is not holistic, she does believe in nutrition, vitamins, etc. and I really like her kind, caring personality. She's definitely an advocate for the "mother's instinct," where other doctors think they are god and won't listen to your thoughts and ideas about your own child. I like that about her. I'm there with you on not wanting to use antibiotics.
I have three boys, when they were younger they suffered from allergies and bronchitis. (even though I breast fed all of them for about 3 years.) Then I started them on a nutritional program that has made ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world. My kids haven't been sick in THREE YEARS.
The doctor is Dr. Kim LeMaster of the Meridian Medical Group ###-###-####
The nutritional info. is Nutriferon - http://www.shaklee.net/bewell/prodNuFeronHome.
If you are interested in any other suggestions on things I've done with my three kids, let me know. There is alot us moms can do to help our kids be healthy and strong! : )
And, WELCOME TO CHARLOTTE!!

Dr. Dino Kanelos (sp) has two offices and is really good. He did have another physician there who was naturopathic/holistic but I believe she just had a baby and I dont know if she is back or not. His offices are on the corner of Ballantyne Commons and Elm, and another off Providence and 84.
