Looking for a pediatrician in the area (Alexandria) I have a 6 mo and an 18 mo...needless to say...i have my hands full, but my husband and I will be moving to the area in June...any suggestions or where do you go and why?
With all of your help and advice and the right location ...i think i'm going to go with Pediatrics Association of Alexandria...I'm closer the the Springfield area...and it has come highly recommended! Thank You to all who took the time to help make my world a little easier...I love this site! Next, i'll be in touch about play dates and support groups in the same area!
Sincerely,
C.
I also really like Children's Medical Associates. I go to the Alexandria office for my 1 year-old daughter and 4 year-old son. I like Melissa Goldblatt a lot (she's on maternity leave now, but should be back in a few months). The nurses are great, and they are really good about getting you in. I seldom have to wait in the office at all. Good luck!
I'm not sure where in Alexandria you're located (it's fairly large), but if you're any where near 22307 I can recommend Kidz Docs (on Belle Haven Road). Our son goes there (he'll be 3 in June), my younger brother and sister have gone there since birth (they're 16 and 18) and I used to go there when they practiced under a different name (the name changed when the lead doctor retired).
We also go to Pediatric Associates of Alexandria and really like it there. We usually see Dr. Hopper and Dr. Sideridis but haven't met a doctor or Nurse Practitioner we didn't like. The office is always very accomodating with flexible hours and plenty of sick appointment slots...

They have a Fairfax and Alexandria location and I LOVE THEM!
Best of luck.
I highly recommend Sleepy Hollow Pediatrics. All the Drs. we have seen there are wonderful. They have a 24 hour nurse help line, Saturday sick hours (they won' turn someone away) and evening hours as well. Regular well appointments are during the day usually. They are in Falls Church off Route 7.
We take our 7 month old daughter to Pediatric Associates of Alexandria. She generally see's Dr. Hopper but we have seen other doctors and they are all very nice. He is a wonderful doctor, very good with my daughter and answers all my first time mom questions. All the staff are very friendly. www.pedsalex.com
