I know I'm behind on this, but I need to find a pediatrician for my little guy. I've lived in the area my entire life, but am the first of my friends and family to have a baby, so I don't have any help! I live in Fairfield Township so anything in West Chester/Fairfield/Hamilton would be convenient. Please also feel free to give names of any you did NOT like after meeting so I don't even waste my time!
Thanks in advance!
Re: Pediatrician Help
We go to Suburban Pediatrics in Mason, but they also have a Liberty Township office. We see Dr. Robert Wallace, and Dr. DuMont regularly.
The only Dr. in that practice that I do NOT recommend is Dr. Heyman.

I love (well, as much as you can love a doctor's office) Suburban Pediatrics. They have offices in Mason, WC and (I think) Forest Park. We go to the one in WC. It's near the Kroger Marketplace, off of 129.
Their website is https://www.suburbanpediatrics.org/
We've seen a few of the doctors and NP's, and we've been happy with everyone so far. Our 'normal' doctor is Dr. Pleatman.
Ditto Suburban Pediatrics!
I had to take DD to the genetics department at Cincy Childrens before we moved up here, when she was four months old and the geneticist asked me if we had a pediatrician yet. I hadn't researched it yet, and he said "well, Suburban Pediatrics is where I recommend!". They are right next to the Liberty Township Cincy Children's Hospital (at least the office we go to).
I haven't selected a doctor but they told me that if you call that day they typically will have someone that stays til the last patient is seen. It doesn't matter how late. I loved that. They also have Saturday hours. She also said that if we HAVE to be seen then they may even come in on Sunday.
We go to Pediatric Associates, they have offices in Hamilton, Fairfield and West Chester. Our boys see Dr. Oether and I have nothing but good things to say about her.
We go to Springdale Mason Pediatrics and see Dr. Leanza. He is fantastic and we absolutely love him. We used to live in Fairfield Twp and are now in West Chester. They have an office in Springdale on Rt 4, and on Mason Montgomery Rd. www.s-mpeds.com
ETA: we also had a new parent meeting. We were able to meet with Dr Leanza beforehand and become familiar with the practice. This was really helpful to me right after Ethan was born... his bili levels were high and he had to go back to the hospital. I knew him and the practice and they were able to give me a lot of support over the phone (I haven't found many pedi practices that still go to the hospitals) when we were not happy with the pedi's at Good Sam.
I am going with Suburban Pediatric Associates. I was referred to them and just met with them last night.
They have a Pre-natal visit that they like you to attend. They are one evening a week for prospective new parents. We met with a Nurse Practitioner and she gave us a bunch of info and then a doctor came in to see if we had additional questions that he could help with. They showed us the rooms and when to schedule well appointments during the first year.
