Anyone have recommendations for a good pediatrician in the St. Louis Metro East Area?  (This includes STL/IL)...

Our pedi is in South County, but he is great. His name is Dr. Matt Dougherty of Esse Health.

We go to Dr. Timothy Lackey in Sunset Hills.  We've never had a bad visit with him.  We started out with a different pedi in Arnold and he was a total jackass.

Gateway Pediatrics- they have offices at St. Lukes and DePaul- our kids see Dr. Steele but love all the docs!

I just met with Dr. John Cole at Kids Docs a couple weeks ago and I LOVED him. My little guy isn't due until January, but I've already decided that Dr. Cole will be our pediatrician. He schedules all of his consultations with moms- and dads-to-be at the end of his work day so that he has plenty of time to sit down and talk with you and answer all of your questions. He was with me for probably close to 45 minutes, and acted like he had nowhere else to be. He was also incredibly warm and friendly and I felt so comfortable with him. That's not always the case with doctors, and (in my experiences) it's even more rare with male docs. They tend to have a get-down-to-business approach that turns me off. Dr. Cole was so amazing and I felt 100% certain when I left that he would be the best choice for our family. 

His office is located on Olive Blvd. just a couple of miles from 270. 

Hope this helps!
