Pediatrician in Norwood

Does anyone have a personal experience (or opinion) with any pediatricians located at Dedham Medical Associates in Norwood? My husband and I want to use a doctor in this practice but are overwhelmed with narrowing down our selection. I want to use personal references but no one I know uses a pediatrician at this location.
Any feedback?

Re: Pediatrician in Norwood
I don't have any personal experience (due in June!) but I live in Norwood and have heard great things about Dr. Garrety, Dr. Midura (spelling?) and Dr. Cuozzo. When I called only Dr. Midura was taking new patients. She is running a "Meet the Pediatrictions" night on May 12 that anyone can sign up for. A co-worker of mine had her baby at 30 weeks and has been back and forth many times with a preemie....she sees Dr. Midura and highly recommended her.
Hope that helps!
I'm currently looking for a ped in Dedham/Norwood area, so i'm heavily leaning toward Dedham Medical too.
A few of my friends go to Dedham Medical - here are there reviews of the Dedham Medical Pediatricians. From what my friends say - it is really about finding the doctor that fits you personally because you will be communicating a lot with them.
Dr. Fehser ? great, fast, efficient, she fires questions at you and talks fast, thinks fast, etc.
Dr. Perry- more touchy-feely. She says things like ?goo-goo-gaa-gaa? and plays with the babies. So she?s always late to appts but some people like a touchy feely doctor (esp. pediatrician)
Dr. Hadley ? pretty cold as a person but a very thorough Doctor. She is older than Perry/Fehser (they?re prob in their mid 30s ? they both have young kids too). I thought she was totally qualified and thorough but found her to be kind of a dud as a person.
Dr. Gayle ? she?s older ? probably don?t want to use her as she?ll probably be retiring soon.
Dr. McGarry ? I really liked her - She was kind of like Fehser and Perry combined.
Dr. Shusterman - likes him but he can sometimes go overboard in being thorough (i.e. measured my friends infants head & recommended a cat scan but both parents had large heads & mother worked at Childrens & knew that it was unnecessary given the fact that both herself & her husband had very large heads as babies) - so if you would rather air on the side of over-cautious - he may be a good fit for you
** my friends said that they always run on-time with appointments, never had to wait more than 5-10minutes**
Hope this helps! I am going to the Meet the Pediatricians night in May to hear more about their practice & what pediatricians are available for accepting new patients.
