Pediatric and Young Adult medicine is great- it is next to United.

I have also heard about the Children's Clinic which is associated with Children's/United.

Both are in downtown St. Paul

Congratulations on your soon-to-be baby boy! We have been very happy with Central Pediatrics, which is located near the intersection of I-94 and Lexington Pkwy. The doctors, nurses, and office workers are all terrific. The phone is ###-###-####. Good luck!

Dr. Hallberg at the University of Minnesota Primary Care Clinic. He is wonderful, understands kids, is up on the latest, and often does special shows on MPR regarding all kinds of medical subjects.
He took care of my grandchildren.
One thing, he may not be taking new patients, but you could get on a waiting list, maybe??
Good luck.

We go to Dr Gobel, Mendakota Pediatrics in West St Paul. She is the BEST. Our daughter is 1 and she is actually our second ped... a little difficulty with the first! She has late office hours on Tuesday (I work ft), it is a nice little practice, she is the only doctor. I have NEVER EVER waited in the waiting room. Her nurse is great and they both remember your child, not just the chart. If you have a problem you call her cell phone, yes cell phone, not an answering service.
http://www.mendakotapeds.com/ you can check out all about their practice.
Good luck!

In St Paul, there is Children's Hospital & Clinic's, they actually have a clinic in Minneapolis too.

I take my little boy to Central Pediatrics in Woodbury, but I know there is a St Paul clinic too. We see Dr. Nora Farrell or Dr. Kathleen Gesensway. They are both VERY GOOD!

Hope that helps some.

Pediatric and Young Adult Medicine is great. You can reach the doctors personaly to talk to them when you need. They walk around with cell phones and lap tops. Everything is put into the computer even prescriptions. There are a few doctors to chose from but, I like Dr. Plotnik and Dr. Saxon. They have several locations. The one is St. Paul is located at 233 Grand Avenue ###-###-####.

We also go to Central Peds in Woodbury. We've seen a couple of doctors and have liked them all. The nursing staff are very patient and willing to answer any questions you may have. Any time I have called, I have immediately received a return call. Although I haven't needed to use it, the evening and weekend hours are the best I've seen.

I take my two children to Central Pediatrics, in the Central Medical Building off Lexington. They also have an urgent care facility (in Woodbury) and all the weekend and evening hours plus 24 hr answered line, etc. I personally like most Dr Jeager, but all the staff is awesome. We moved to NE Minneapolis and we like this practice so much that we still drive to Woodbury for the Urgent care needs. The Dr's have been easy to get hold of at all times also. Good luck in finding one that matches up with your needs =)
