Put her onto the Pfeiffer Treatment Centre website and in particular the research of William Walsh and suggest she do the practitier training with BioBalance if she is in Australia, or with the Pfeiffer Institute if she is in the USA. The Pfeiffer Outreach team have paediatricians on staff. www.biobalance.org.au

Another angle…(gluten and ADHD)…. "CONCLUSIONS: Celiac disease is markedly overrepresented among patients presenting with ADHD. A gluten-free diet significantly improved ADHD symptoms in patients with celiac disease in this study. The results further suggest that celiac disease should be included in the ADHD symptom checklist." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21977364/ Celiac testing is something any mainstream doc can and should do (IMO) for a child presenting with ADHD or any severity of autism. Here is lab tests needed for celiac: http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/CDCFactSheets3_Antibody.pdf

Darla Woolman is incredible! Not only is she good at her job, but she does some really awesome things in the community. She is a part of Bellingham Bay Family Medicine. Here is a little more about her: https://www.familycarenetwork.com/staff/darla-woolman
Lindsey L. replied:
Bellingham OBGYN (BOGA). They delivered both of my kids. Love them. Dr. Mora is my favorite. He is an awesome advocate for his patients.
Lindsey L. replied:
Dr. Filuk is our pediatrician and we love him. He's at peacehealth on cordata. Tim and I see dr. Wakefield-Pagels at family care network on Barkley. Love her too.
Kevi V. replied:
Dr mora was who delivered my kids at BOGA. He is excellent. Now our family goes to Sue Dabney at Family Care Network. She is so amazing!!
Matt L. replied:
Not sure about the lady aspect, but Bellingham Bay Family Medicine is a group of amazing Drs. Small office but so good and nice, they really are in it to help people. Dr. Van Hondgjoffeyhbvrtijnft (spelling might be off) is the best!!
Carlie M. replied:
Michelle Ingram at Birchwood Women's health, been seeing her since I got here, private practice gets you in asap! Love her!! Very caring and listens to you! She takes time for everything you need! Even said she would do Matt's and my physical when we want to adopt again! She's a Jem!!!!
Melanie H. replied:
Also- Dr Mora is fantastic. A very straight forward, no bones about it kind of guy. I clearly didn't read this post very well. He supported and followed our birth plan 110%, allowed me to lead things and even wanted to wheel us all out to the freshly fallen snow to take a first family photo because he knew how much I was obsessed with all things snow and Christmas ; )
Kristi R. replied:
We love Dr. Rodney Anderson at Family Health Associates as our family doctor! I'm not sure if he's taking new patients, but he can see you for everything you listed above. He's very moderate and personal.We also had a good experience at Bellingham OB/GYN (BOGA). We clicked best with Dr. Russo and she delivered the kiddos.

We went to BOGA too! They were great! Our primary/family care physician was Dr. Fox at Bellingham Bay Family Medicine...she was fantastic! Good luck my friend

Natalie M. replied:
I don't have much to offer, we don't really go to the Dr. I would however recommend Juliann Snell at Barkley women's healthcare for an ob/gyn hands down the best in Bellingham!
Melanie H. replied:
Agree with Natalie Moon about Julianne, she's FANTASTIC!
Jessica D. replied:
I saw Dr Jessica Bloom during my pregnancy, she delivered Ben, and is still both our primary care dr. She is at Family Care Network off squalicum. I love her and her nurse!

Don't change your insurance provider 1 is better I switched to provider 1Bellingham bay Dr. Melinda Shimkey,not right spelling but call and check. Xxoo
Amber B. replied:
We use a GP, not a Ped but we love Family Care Network on Squalicum. There are offices all over tho.
Susan A. replied:
Ask for Dr. Bousstead at Sea mar. He's my doctor, the only one they had taken the time to listen to me
Holly B. replied:
Yes family care network is great! We see Dr Werner and love him!!!
Hillary H. replied:
Same problem! I am going to Providence pediatric in Marysville! But I technically live in Everett but staying in Bellingham I looked for a pediatrician here but found the same thing so we've been doing a lot of driving but Aymah has had jaundice . See if you can get Dr Mistry.
Elisha R. replied:
https://www.facebook.com/susan.aguinaga yes i love him as well, he saw cayden one time and i think i may stay with him if i cant find anywhere else!!!
We are trying to pick a local pediatrician in the Eugene area. Anyone have some advice or input? I would greatly appreciate it!

Christin G. replied:
http://www.whatcomsmiles.com/steven_kimberley.php This is seriously the best dentist ever! I went to him when I was little and didn't leave until I was nearly 20! If adults went there I would still go. Great people that work there and they have a Nemo fish tank for the kids to look in!
May I ask parents about their favorite pediatricians here in Bellingham?!
I'm used to a small island and have a baby due in a few weeks and was hoping for one or two to...
Sonja M. replied:
I have Dr. Swanson at North Sound Family Medicine but she's full I believe. Dr. Canada and Dr. Floyd are both really good too.
Harmony D. replied:
I would not recommend Peacehealth pediatrics. Once they are not tiny any more good luck getting an appt. Many times my son had urgent care needs ( bad fall, strep throat) and they told me I had to go to ER. If you don't call before 8:15 am you will not be able to be seen that day. Also about 3 months or more out for a well child check. Ridiculous.
Harmony D. replied:
We see Dr David Hansen at Ferndale family medicine. He has been great. Timely appointments and when we had a concern about my son's feet he worked with the insurance company to get us in with an expert right away at children's.
Eternity M. replied:
Dr Mahal is AMAZING. She was completely on board with me wanting to delay vaccines until my daughter was 4/5 years old, and then spread them out one at a time rather than all of them at once. I'm not anti-vaccine - I just don't think babies need them so early while the blood-brain barrier develops.
Chelsea K. replied:
We see Dr Ed Bloom at family health associates. My son absolutely loves him and his nurses.
Allena T. replied:
We have Dr Jennifer Rosquist at peace health she is wonderful
Samantha M. replied:
Dr Wallace at Peace Health. I have special needs child and he's phenomenal and always reachable.
Alxys B. replied:
Dr. Filuk at Peace Health
Rochelle P. replied:
I love Dr. Eleey at peace health. She takes her time with you and makes you feel like every question is important. She sometimes runs late but that's because she does not rush through at all.
Tia H. replied:
Shelby Hein at Squalicum Family Medicine! She did my son's circumsision and he didn't even cry. He fell asleep lol. She is absolutely wonderful. Both mine and my kids doctor.
Anyone have any good suggestions for a pediatrician for little boys in the Bellingham area??? Would love your thoughts! Thanks.
Joelle B. replied:
We love Dr Annaliese Floyd right down at NorthSound medical at Barkley. I like quite a few of the drs there actually. Plus it's super convenient.
Joia P. replied:
Greg Thompson. I'm friends with his wife, Kim. World travelers and he has worked in clinics in Africa and Korea. Two daughters.
Jackie E. replied:
Dr Thompson at Peacehealth/Madrona!
Richelle J. replied:
Dr. Scott McGuinness at Peace Health. He was recommended to me by Steven's pulmonary doctor at Children's Seattle. He was really fantastic to work with and because he came so highly recommended, I trusted him completely and he never let us down.
Renae I. replied:
We see Dr. Lee at Madrona and love her! My boys love her and she has 2 little boys about the same ages.:-)
Jennifer S. replied:
We loved McGuinness too! He is actually a hospitalist at St. Joes now. They are so lucky to have him! We switched to Dr. Wallace at Peace Health after seeing him a few times on call. Kids really like him and I really liked the way he interacted with Emery for her well check.
I am not sure what insurance we will have yet, but I need to start researching pediatricians in Kitsap. Suggestions?
Mariah B. replied:
Jenny Chow at Doctor's Clinic (Silverdale) - she's really nice & we like her a lot! She's been all of our kids' doctor since Adrianna was born.
Deanna G. replied:
We have had Dr. Shaw in Silverdale for all of our kids. I also know Niran Al-Agba personally and I would totally go with her if Dr. Shaw retires anytime soon. Niran is also in Silverdale. If you decide to go with her, tell her I sent you. You may have to remind her I was her sewing instructor!
Tina B. replied:
Dr. Hoisington in the doctors clinic inside the labor delivery hospital is awesome we loved him n he sends home info sheets with babies weight n length n what we should we doing at this stage n how much Tylenol he can have etc I usually left with 4 pages n they have n on call doctor for night time
Tracey A. replied:
Dr Niran Al-Agba is awesome!
Renee H. replied:
Dr. Hoisington is awesome and he has adult twin daughters so that was a nice bonus for me. But all 3 doctors at TDC in the Silverdale Harrison are wonderful!
Any of you Mom's have a recommendation for a good male pediatrician for my son at (PeaceHealth) I want to switch him from Monica Mahal..

Dr Wallace
Ashley S. replied:
I think Dr. Tan is hella Asian and annoying.. Also I think he's a OB doctor Alyssa
Elle B. replied:
Dr Peter Filuk is the best, my kids have had him for 6 years & not a single complaint!!
Devin K. replied:
Dr. Filuk did Gemini's circumcision & I so badly wanted him as his pediatrician, but he wasn't accepting new patients at the time. He seems like such an awesome doctor.

Adrienne R. replied:
Stacy - My sister really likes Seth Cowan at Skagit Family Health Clinic. He's an ND and Family Nurse Practitioner. His wife is at the same clinic and was Jess's midwife.
Marian H. replied:
If you can get in with her, Dr Mara Kelley is super crunchy an amazing and wouldn't guilt you for your choices. (Did I already tell you that?) I've also heard great things about the ND's at London Health center in Ferndale.
Who is the best pediatrician in Bellingham that IS ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS and why do you prefer them over others?
Thanks!
Sarah K. replied:
I'm not sure if she's accepting patients but Dr Ann Welsh at peacehealth is amazing. I had her from birth to 18 yrs old and I haven't been able to find a Dr like her since. Dr Greg Welsh, her husband, is also an amazing Dr. They work in the same office
