Any pediatrician recommendations in or around Shoreline

radlissy

Hi ladies! It's getting to be time to interview pediatricians, and being new to the area, I have zero knowledge on what Docs are great here! I'm hoping to find a doc that isn't a meds pusher and has a good bedside manner! Anyone know of a good pediatrician in or around Shoreline?

Richmond Pediatrics on 185th, just west of 3rd NW.  I actually went to them as a kid and from everything I hear they're still great.

I am a total lurker on this board but really want to recommend my pediatrician.  Annika Sutton-Wolf with The Children's Clinic of South Snohomish County.  She is awesome, takes her time, is great with DD and answers all my new mom neurotic questions. I wouldn't consider her a "meds pusher" and she was open about me wanting to space out vaccinations and delaying Hep B. 

I live in Shoreline and they are very close.

we used to live in N Seattle and went to NW Pediatric:  Ellen Passlof.  I loved her but she was part time and I didn't love her partners.  FOrtunately we rarely had to take appoitments when she wasn't there.  Interview all of them to make sure you like the whole group.

We see Dr. Passloff on WatchPot's recommendation, and like her, but I actually love one of her partners, Dr. Chrisinger, who we've seen on occasion. I'd probably choose him if we had to do it over, but they're both great. We have seen the other partner there, and she's fine but may be more suitable for older kids.

We love our pedi - Dr. Marion Folkmer at the UW Medical Center Shoreline (by the Costco on 99 and 205th/244th).

Thank you so much! Being the newbie in town and pregnant is so much harder on big decisions... the way I see it, I can't afford the "normal" trial and error of starting over now that we have a LO on the way! This board has been so helpful! I'm gonna make some calls this week to interview you recommendations! Thanks again!!!
