Pediatrician Recommendation

Hi- My 10 month old daughter and I just moved to Glen Mills (Delaware County) from Florida. If anyone could recommend a great pediatrician in the area I would really appreciate it! My daughter has no special health concerns- actually she has yet to even run a fever (knocking wood!). She has about 6 weeks before her 12 month check up and shots but I would really like to find someone sooner just in case. Thanks for any help you can give me. F.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

Thanks so much to everyone for such quick responses. I really appreciate the help. One question about Kids First- do you see the same doctor for every visit or is a group practice where it changes depending on who is available at the time of your visit?
Thanks again for taking the time to respond. Have a great day-F.

I would recommend Kids First I know there are a few around. Depending where you are located in Glen Mills there is one on 352 in Media just past the Granite Run Mall. They are affiliated with CHOP (Childrens Hospital of Pennsylvania) and I have never ever had a problem there. I have been going there for 6 years. They are very thorough and a great team. I know that there are other ones in Chester county too. Good Luck

Hello - I use Brandywine Pediatrics in Delaware on Silverside Road (Wilmington) for my 3 kids. I don't know if you feel that is too far for you (we live in Aston, PA) but we love them. The number for my dr. is ###-###-####. I'm not sure if Dr. Walter is taking new patients or not but I know other people who take their kids to other doctors in that practice and they are very happy. So I would feel comfortable recommending just about any doctor in that practice. Hope this helps.

We go to Kids First in Springfield also. They are great. The doctors and nurses really seem to love the children and whenever my child is sick they get you right in. I think they have a Kids First on Route 1 by you in Glen Mills. I would call soon though they fill up fast for well child visits. Small price to pay for such great doctors. Good Luck.

Broomall Peds in West Chester and Broomall are very good. I have been taking my children there for 8 1/2 years. I use WC office must can go to Broomall when necessary. ###-###-#### in WC at Rte 3 (West Chester Pike) and Ellis Lane. Broomall is on Sproul Rd. We have alot of friends who go there.

Good luck with your search. I know of alot of people who use the kids first too.

Welcome to PA, it's a really nice area that you have moved into.

I am also new to the area. I have a 3yr old -Tommy and an 8yr old- Johnny, I've been taking them to Dr. Deleonardis in Mullica Hill. I really like him, and he is very good w/ the kids.

Kid's First is the best. I go to the springfield office. sick child visits are always the same day. at night calls are routed to children's hospital of philadelphia and you talk to a nurse there.

Hi F.! We recently moved to the Philadelphia area ourselves. Welcome! Our Daughter is going to be 10 months old at the end of this week, and we have an awesome Pediatrician in South Philly. (Our daughter has never been sick either, thank God! We see Dr. Dorothy Novick at the Primary Care Center in South Philly (Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia). We had a new patient appointment, a 6 month and a 9 month appointment, and she has been GREAT!!! It's a little bit of a drive for us (we are in the Springfield Area) but Dr. Novick is well worth it!!!
1900 South Broad Street, 2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19145
