Pediatrician near Skokie/Lincolnwood?

I am looking for a pediatrician near Skokie/Lincolnwood area.  I do not mind driving a bit.  Neither my husband's or my pediatrician are options for us.  My nephew's pediatrician is in the same office as my OB/GYN, and I hate the office to the point that I am switching doctors for my next pregnancy.  So, I really have no options - anybody have a good pediatrician?

Thanks in advance!

  • I know of a good doctor who has a practice in Evanston and also in Buffalo Grove.  Dr. Rachel Elwell.  If you call her, you can say "Diana" recommended you.

    Thanks, but it scares me having a pediatrician that is not open on Monday.  What if a child gets sick over the weekend - it seems like a long time to have to wait until Tuesday. 

  • I go to Kids First Pediatrics in Skokie. There are three doctors and they are open 7 days a week. Dr. DiVincenzo, Dr. Shepard and Dr. Aaronson are all great! 847-676-5394 on Golf Rd (near Old Orchard).
  • I have an appointment to meet with Dr DiVincenzo or the first time tomorrow at 5.  I am happy to hear you recommend her.  I did not know she had two other doctors in the practice. 

     

    How long have you seen her? 

    Due Date: April 14, 2009
  • I have heard great things about this practice.  I am glad that I keep hearing good things. Thanks!
  • My daughter's first pedi was Dr. Lori Walsh at Glenbrook Pediatrics in Glenview.  LOVED her, and was really sad when our insurance changed and we had to switch docs!  She was very patient and even asked about MY health when I was in there with my newborn - I was VERY anemic and apparently I looked like crap.  lol  Great doc, great office.  Can't say enough good things about them.  They also have Saturday hours, but only for sick kids who need to be seen.... you can't schedule regular appointments on Saturdays, but they are open late several nights a week.
  • Ours is Dr. Terrizzi and we absolutely love him. He's so caring towards the children and I've never had to wait for long in their office to get seen. He's right in downtown Evanston, so not far from your area. I've called many times after-hours and they always return my calls promptly and are very responsive. Plus, their staff is very sweet and helpful, unlike a lot of staff at other offices. The best thing is that their waiting room is huge, open and airy so I never feel like I am crammed in with a ton of sick kids coughing all over the place. There's hardly anyone in the waiting room because they are seen so fast.
