Pediatrician downtown suggestion needed

laura3462

I have been googling Town & Country Peds and the NW ped group. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Everyone seems to like Town & Country. When we lived downtown we went to Northwester Memorial Physician's Group, which is on Halsted around 1400 North.  We loved Dr. Hwan there.  We've since moved to the burbs and we miss him!

We go to Northwestern Children's Practice. It is located at 680 N. Lakeshore Drive. We've been happy with them. The best thing about the practice is that they have "sick" hours every day (including Sat and Sun). You can bring your child in without an appt at 8:00 during the week, or  10:00 on the weekends. Very helpful if you wake up with a sick child because you don't even have to call.

Not sure where you are in the city, but I recommend Lakeview Peds. It's one of the only practices in the city that DOES NOT charge for after-hours calls. Most city practices automatically charge you 50-75 for calling after-hours.

Personally, I don't think that reflects strongly on the practice. It discourages parents from feeling free to call your doc if you are worried about something. 

They are a small practice (5 docs) and have weekend hours. We have never had a problem getting in same day.
