Dr. Chawala and Dr. Schnurr are the best and both been featered in HOUR Detroit for some of the best Dr. in the Detroit area. I have heard nothing but good things from others who currently do and have taken their kids there in the past.

I understand your fustration and anger. My daughter was born with an etopic thyroid. Her thyroid didn't decend down her throat all the way and partially work. So she will have to take synthriod for the rest of her life.The hospital caught it within her first 24hrs of birth. She see's Dr. Schnurr in Rochester Hills, "North East Pediactrics"They are at Rochester/Avon. All the docs/staff are great. They are affliated with troy-beaumont/critteton . She also sees Dr.Peter Gerrits who is a specialist from "Royal Oak Beaumont", upon examination of Dr. Schnurr knowing he was the best in this field.He came in from Royal Oak immediately and checked her blood work and other test that were preformed. He deals with children in high risk areas. He is wounderful. He give's Victoria very good care. We do have to have her blood drawn now, once every six months. When she was smaller every couple of wks to months. He does not make you feel rushed or move to the next patient making you feel like cattle. He goes over all of her chart from being to present, EVERY time we go. He asks her questions and LISTENS TO HER.Even from very small.She is six now. He set my mind at ease now she is in the best care he can provide for HER, NOT me. The staff is very family feeling from day one.As I said we have had in in our life from the day she was born. I hope this may help you. Good Luck. Feel free to contact me.

Wow, I would be seeing someone else. My doctor is through Henry Ford Health Systems in Plymouth. His name is John Howard ###-###-####. I really like their health system--my 2 year old broke his arm and my dr took an x-ray and was able to call the ped radiologist (who was at Henry Ford downtown Detroit) and a ped orthapedic and e-mail them the x-ray while i was still at his office because he wanted both of their opinions.
He personally called me when my daughter was having stomach pains and wasn't eating to see if she had improved.

I hope your little one is feeling better soon.

Hello,
I have an 18 month old daughter and I take her to Dr. Maria Wozniak in Birmingham. The practice is actually called Dr. Jay Eastman and Maria Wozniak and Assiciates. I really like Dr. Wozniak. We are having some health problems with our daughter and Dr. Wozniak is very supportive and extremly thorough. However; if she ver questions anything, so is qiuck to refer you to a specialist for a second opinion which I really appreciate! She is located on 14 Mile rd. between Woodward and Coolidge. Hope that helps! From what you have said, it sounds like it is time to get a new pediatrician!

NE Pediatrics in Rochester Hills is excellent. They are at Rochester/Avon. All the docs/staff are great. They are affliated with troy-beaumont/critteton - if that makes a difference.

We haven't been anywhere else - the docs are always helpful and kind. When we started going, they had us rotate thru all the different docs, so he's been seen by all of them at least once. They are all great w/my son.

Another vote for Pediatric Consultants of Troy located in Beaumont. The staff and doctors are all wonderful. Absolutely no complaints. They didn't hassle me one bit when I mentioned delaying/selective vaccinations for my daughter. Very knowledgable and understanding. I also never had a problem getting an appointment.

L.,

I think you have every reason to be concerned. I feel for you and know how hard it is to have a sick little one and feel that you're not getting help from the one person who should support you the most. You should switch to another doctor that understands your daughter's needs and gets her the help she needs.

We go to Pediatric Consultants of Troy and L. Dr. Elizabeth Dubina. They have an office just off of M59/Dequindre and another office in Shelby Township.

Good luck and let us know how things turn out. :)

Dear L. E. So sorry to hear about your trouble with your doctor. I say move on! We saw Dr. J. Patrick Quigley at the Troy Beaumont medical building for almost my son's entire pediatric care, he's 20 now! Dr. Quigley is part of a practice and I liked them all. Their number is ###-###-####. All the best to both of you. Beth

We go to Pediatric Healthcare on Mound Road in Sterling Heights. They have six or seven different doctors to choose from and they are a part of the William Beaumont system, if that's important to you. I really like them, their staff, and the facility in general. Their number is ###-###-####.

I like my pediatrician. He is very conservative, so not many antibiotics so far for my two children. He is Syrian (?sp), strongly stands his ground, so sometimes I feel it is his way only, but in the end he has always been right. He is at Big Beaver and Crooks. Somerset Pediatrics, Tamer Masserani. ###-###-####. He is our 3rd doctor and I think we are done searching for one we like. He too does not give the shots, but his nurses do. He is very timely and when i call outside of office hours, he will either meet me at the office or has also said "just stop by my house". He has 3 young children of his own.

Best of luck

I have two children age 3 1/2 and 19 months and L. there peidatrician. It is a group of doctors called Child Health Associates. I mainly see Dr. Kolin, but also really like Dr. Klein adn Dr Weinstein. I have seen most of the others once but tty to stick to the same one or few for consistency. They are located in Troy. There # is ###-###-####. Good luck. I find them to be very knowledgable, capable and caring. Both my children had lead test but this is done at the hospital lab. The nurses give the immunizations and are very capable.

WE go to Child Health associates, website www.childhealthassociatespc.com. They are moving to a new office next week at Big Beaver and Crooks, if that location works for you. They ahve about 6 physicians in the office, I prefer the more senior doctors. Hope this helps.

I have had very good experience with the Pediatric Consultants of Troy. They also have an office in Sterling Heights. Good luck!

OKay, that is horrible. YOu are right, it is not a virus. My son had some severe problems and it took a homeopath to get him straight. here are a few names:

Dr Paul Ehrman. www.docpaul.com He is at 12 1/2 and crooks. Great doctor, family practice. nurses arent always friendly but he is worth it.

Jeffrey Nusbaum M.D. clinical Asst Professor of Internal Medicine, Holistic Medicine, Nutritional Medicine, Acupuncture - JMT---N.A.E.T. (this doctor is an MD and a homeopath. My aunt goes to him. not sure about children but i would call. he is at 14 mile and orchard lake. he was the only doctor that got her colitis under control. she had to quit her job but now is working)

my homeopath is Karl Johnson. www.wellnesschiro.com he is at 23 mile and Shelby Road. He is not an MD.

Feel free to email me with any questions @ ____@____.com

last, have you had her tested for celiacs disease? has she been tested for food allergies? was she sick a lot with ear infections or something that required antibiotics.

As long as she is sick, you should not vaccinate her. If i had continued to vaccinate my son while he was having problems (before i realized the doctors were wrong and it wasnt his teeth!) i am positive he would be in a terrible place right now.
Good Luck!

Dr. Mark (actually Dr. Mark Thomas) is a great doctor my three kids have been seeing him for years. He is in Clarkston at I75 and M15. His number is ###-###-####. There are four doctors in the office and they have all been great for us.
I know that is a little drive from Troy but not really to bad.

I am very sorry to hear about your little one. I can't imagine what you are going through, but I live in the Rochester area and have a wonderful pediatrian, Dr. Mavani. She does a lot of homopathic (sp?) alternatives if you would like to go that route, otherwise, she is traditional in the sense of using medicines if you prefer. She is a very loving, caring and child first doctor. She is very patient and truly listens to your concerns. I think she is a bit on the conservative side often going overboard with testing to get to the bottom of the what may be wrong, which in my mind, I am ok with if it will bring answers to what may be wrong with my little ones. There are also two other groups I have heard in the Rochester area my friends really like, one is located at Silverbell and Adams, I think it is called Crosscreek pediatrics (?) and the other is located across from dicks sporting goods on Rochester road and Avon road in Rochester hills. Both of these last practices have multiple doctors, where as mine is just herself and coverage for her throughout the week by other excellent doctors when she is having to be a mom to her child. I hope you get all of this sorted out. Remember you are your own child's advocate. If it does not feel right, or your mommy instincts tell you something isn't right, it probably isn't. Best of luck to you and your daughter. If you need the names of the larger practices, let me know I can get them for you. Also, I have a name of a great one in Birmingham as well if you wouuld like.

I would switch doctors too. We got to Medical Pediatrics in Bingham Farms. We see Dr. Marty Levinson, but we have friends that see other doctors in the practice and L. them as well. The whole practice is great. They have emergency Saturday and Sunday visits. They are on 13 and Telegraph and even have an office in Commerce/West Bloomfield. We L. this office and have no complaints. The nurses are great and the doctors are caring!

I don't have any suggestions as my kids are old now - but I wanted to encourage you that YES it is time to find someone else who can better meet your babys and your needs! Good luck.

Dear L. E:
Im so sorry to hear about your little one. You for sure need to seek other medical advice. We have been taking our kids to Bloomfield Pediatrics (corner of Square Lake / Woodward in Bloomfield Hills) for over 7 years now. We have been going their since my first child was born. They have an amazing practice with 4 fantastic doctors. Dr. Maureen Kelly is superb, thorough, up to date on all the latest, and will give immunizations. She has helped us through some issues with my daughter. Their phone number is ###-###-####. Good Luck!
