I am due in May and need to select a pediatrician soon. Does anyone have recommendations on a good one in the Newton/Watertown area? I am delivering at Brigham & Womens so it would be ideal if the pediatrician was also affiliated with that hospital, but not necessary.
Thanks!
Re: Pediatrician Recommendation around Newton/Watertown?
I 100% recommend Daniel Slater at HVMA in Watertown. In fact, most of the moms I know use him. I don't know if he's accepting new patients right now, but keep checking. I know he had a lot of teenagers "aging out" and was gaining babies recently.
He is amazing to work with - thorough without going over the top, you know?
We use Dr. Lisa Thayer, who is also at HVMA Watertown. Generally, I've found all of the HVMA Watertown peds to be excellent, and the convenience of the center can't be beat!
Also, I delivered at BWH as well. The HVMA Watertown peds don't service BWH, but the HVMA Kenmore peds do. So, there's no worry with transferring charts or anything since all the HVMA offices are connected. Plus, the Kenmore ped we had at the hospital was quite good! GL!
