Moms Talk: Pediatrician Suggestions

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with this topic:

Question: Where would you send either new parents, or parents new to the area, if they’re looking for a trustworthy and dependable pediatrician.

Moms Council Member Dawn Wanner had this to say:

“I love CHOP Care Network, (formerly Kids First Roxborough), on Umbria Street. My favorite doctor is Dr. Klock, although every doctor is nice. They have a waiting room for sick kids, evening/weekend hours, and I really feel like Dr. Klock has time for me and isn’t trying to rush me out to see another appointment.”

Moms Council Member Carol Haslam agreed with Wanner:

“I have nothing but good things to say about their practice,” she said of CHOP Care. [I] am perfectly happy with every doctor, nurse and staff person there. They take most insurances including Medicaid.” 

Local mom Abigail Bullard offered these thoughts:

“We use Andorra Pediatrics, Dr. Bob or Dr. Dan. They've been family friends for a very long time and I trust them with both of my kids’ lives. On Ridge near the Friendly's, 215-483-8558. Clean, fun, and the staff is great. They will see you same day if your child is sick or you have concerns over your baby's well being, and call in all of your prescriptions for you so it's ready when you get to the pharmacy.”
