We adore ours, dr Robertson or Goyshnor at woodfield pediatrics right off Meacham and Tower Rd. 847 884 9440
Gail W. replied:
Another plus about Pediatric Associates is that the they were really involved when both kids had hospital stays for respiratory viruses (2 years apart, thank goodness). They visited daily and spent time to explain what hospital doctors were doing for care and provided their input.
Shelly B. replied:
