  I can't help with a straight up pedi, as my daughter goes to my own family DR. and has for the past 3 years. My H also goes to her. We have DR. Carrasco who is with Five Corners Family Practice. We are in Schenectady (she's in Rotterdam). I absolutely love, love, love her.  She does pediatric work (meaning she'll take newborns), but she's a family DR. She will also do deliveries providing you're low risk, but I didn't use her for that.

  I had the Sattar practice for my pregnancy- he/they are located in the building behind Ellis (the one in Sch'dy that used to be St Clares). It's a group of midwives and a DR. Loved my care with them.

  Congrats on your pregnancy!

  I can't help with the pedi rec, as I'm considering leaving ours already

  But, as for an OB, think about whether you want to deliver at a hospital with a NICU (just in case). I knew I did for several reasons and opted for St. Peter's Hospital in Albany (Albany Med also has a great NICU). My OB group only delivers at St. Peter's- it's Upstate OB/GYN. There are 4 different OBs that you will see, but I honestly liked and trusted all of them. It's a little bit of a hike, as it is in Albany, but it was worth it for me.

  Good luck! And welcome to the neighborhood!

  TTC for 3 years. Finally successful after 5 IUIs and 2 cycles of IVF. Our amazing twins were born 5 weeks early on 8/16/11. Found out April 2012 that our di/di twins are ID.

  Welcome!  I am on the Schen/Guilderland border.  My kids go to CapCare Pediatrics and see Dr. Ford there - we really like him.  The only one there I've heard negative things about is Dr Saperstone.

  drburstyn.com. she is in latham and delivers at bellevue women's hospital. cannot say enough amazing things about her and her staff. my boys go to latham pediatrics in the same building as Dr burstyn. they see Dr talma and I really like him. they are affiliated with urgent care in the same building as well as a new pediatric urgent care.

  Ditto everything above for Upstate OB/GYN.

  As far as Pedi's go, Ryan goes to Schoolhouse Rd. Pediatrics on Schoolhouse Rd (which is basically off of Western at the end of the Northway).

  But - my PCP is closer to you and is right near hte corners of Rt. 7 and Balltown in Schenectady. It's Capital Care and I see Dr. Eugene Haber.  Not sure if he sees kids but I know someone there does since it's also a family practice.

  Good luck and congratulations on number 2!
