Need a pediatrician

dbos99

I live right in Boston (Beacon Hill) and am trying to find a good pediatrician.  I am not sure how to go about finding one.  Is there a local webpage that anyone knows about lists links to different practices?  Or does someone have one they really like that they want to recommend?  Thanks in advance!

A good start would be contacting your insurance to find out which pediatricians are covered in your plan. You can then do additional research from there. Good luck!

Longwood Pediatrics is supposed to be the best. They are right on Longwood Avenue near Children's Hospital (where I work ). HTH!

When we had our DS my OB gave us a list of recommendations.  We chose one from the list and have been very happy with our choice. Check with your OB.

Thanks ladies, I appreciate your input.  I did ask my OB and of course they said, "oh just look around, etc."  I have heard good things about Longwood Pediatrics and also Harvard Vanguard which I think is over near Kenmore.  I will continue to check places out.  Thanks again!

I happen to work at MGH which would be convenient if you're in Beacon Hill.  I know several very good pediatricians (I'm a pediatric subspecialist) and will probably go there.  However, there can be something nice about a smaller office where the receptionists, nurses know you.  At the same time, the convenience of being able to get bloodwork, xrays right on the same floor in Yawkey is a nice thing and the practitioners tend to be very evidence-based with easy access to specialists which is important to me.
