Look a little deeper. Ear aches are caused by children hearing unpleasant things in their surroundings. Nip the problem at the root. Every physical problem is a result of some type of spiritual imbalance. Perhaps arguing with the parents or an unpleasant atmosphere of some kind needs to be changed? Let me know if I can be of further assistance. 812 219-2217

Shawna A. replied:
Karin Drummond (chiropractor) is helpful for unblocking drainage. She has helped my children multiple times.
Hey all of you Bloomington parents. I have a friend who is looking for a pediatrician and a dentist...she's new to town. Any suggestions? I am pretty sure my doctor...
Jennifer L. replied:
We love Dr. Franklin at eastside SIP, too. And my kids like Karen Hrisomalos and Elaine Coghlan. They're adult dentists, but see some kids and have a very gentle manner.
Kate S. replied:
Also try Lisa Baker - on E 3 rd Street for dentist - she's amazing!
Julie H. replied:
We have been really happy w/ Dr. Moore for dentist-our Ped who we love, is not accepting new patients-but I really like Dr. Howard as well. She's at sips on Clarizz
Kitty M. replied:
Luke Eades, dentitst-love him!
Adrienne S. replied:
Dr. Taylor at Bloomington Pediatric Dentistry....search and find castle in the lobby and really wonderful staff, we have had to have fillings and extractions and they have been fantastic! Dr. McDaniel at SIP or nurse Sue Voland is good too. They are at Landmark office
Tamara H. replied:
We love Dr. Franklin and Dr. Howard at SIPS on Clarizz and we go to Bloomington Pediatric Dentistry!
Beth S. replied:
We LOVE Dr Franklin at SIPPS too!
Patricia O. replied:
Dr. Wrasse is out at the new SIPPS practice (Arlington Rd.) and he is a gem (pediatrician). We also use Bloomington Ped. Dentistry, on Landmark - never a complaint.
I have Bronchitis and a sinus infection. .Kelsey has a Kidney Infection. ..I am looking for a new pediatrician because ours are idiots! ! Any suggestions?
Kim B. replied:
Since Bloomington Hospital took Paoli Hospital over, it is much better. They would switch you to Bloomington, if need be.
Heather L. replied:
Both my girls have started going to Dr. Main too and I really like him and his office.
Deana G. replied:
Alright Mike now you sound like my Daughter lol..they did ask me if I had been out if the country lol
Tiffany C. replied:
Dr. Wrasse in Ellettsville is THE BEST! He was in Bedford in 2011 and transferred to ellettsville shortly after. I know its a long drive but he is EXCELLENT! We've dealt with him for 3 years now and would NEVER switch to anyone else he is part of the Southern Indiana Pediatrics on Arlington Rd (Bloomington address). 812-353-3800
Pam P. replied:
We switched from Southern Indiana Pediatrics to Dr. Main in Paoli, & I couldn't be happier. He's a fantastic, caring doctor. I'm so thankful I switched my girls.
Deana G. replied:
Of course since Dr.Dan left I hate going there and I don't trust them..Pam is He a pediatrician? And wouldn't you have to use Paoli Hospital?
Pam P. replied:
He's a general practitioner, but he's willing to learn about Jocelyn's blood disorder and finding someone willing to take her as a patient isn't always easy. Yes, I'd have to use Paoli hospital but since she's a child, she'd be transferred out to Bloomington, which is fine. She could get emergency care quickly, then be sent elsewhere.
Analee H. replied:
Mackenzie Hanover switched the girls and herself to Dr. Main and Dr. Yoder. Haven't had spots yet but they have to be better. As for needing a pediatrician...they didn't used to have them. We all just grew up with family doctors and made it just fine
Analee H. replied:
Paoli Hospital isn't that bad. It basically depends on ur physician on the care you get
Deana G. replied:
Not sure if this is spelled right but is Dr. Schapaniac there too?
Tressyn G. replied:
Dr Main is very nice and has 6 kids (I believe) of his own. Excellent care.
My son is going to be referred to a pediatrician, to help work through his many medical conditions and try to figure out some confusing symptoms. Does anyone know one...
Carol H. replied:
Dr Carson was an amazing Dr but has passed away.
Amanda S. replied:
We have Dr. Manchanda. She is awesome & Truly cares about your child & what is wrong with them.
Teresa G. replied:
We had Dr Carson In London on. Colbroune st when my kids where young and they loved him
Kimberly L. replied:
My son is seeing Doctor Fabian Gorodzinsky in London. I have been impressed with him so far.
AmberNkids R. replied:
Dr Gorodzinky is who my children seen he is great
Krista R. replied:
We have complex children as well, and we see Dr. Linga Stare (she is in London) and wonderful with the kids. She takes the time needed, gets the tests done and has wonderful insight. Msg me if you want more info or to chat
Jenn G. replied:
We have Dr Manchanda, we love her, great lady and she will not refuse to send you to a specialist if needed, takes her time and listens to child and parent and never a wait time, I think I have only ever waited ten min to go into a room, her secretary Kim is super nice as well
Amanda S. replied:
Dr Manchanda was the first dr to actually listen to me & my concerns about my son. She has been wonderful
Does anyone have a pediatrician in Bloomington that you are happy with? Looking for someone a little more open to natural approaches and a delayed vaccine schedule....
Laura P. replied:
Dr. Franklin is Sam's doctor and we love her!
Haley G. replied:
Gabe actually played soccer with Dr. Malone's son and said that he really likes Dr. Malone so we will probably try him out. Thanks again everyone!
Kristin G. replied:
Dr Hall who works for Southern Indiana Peds is HORRIBLE! She did my baby's circumcision when he was born and messed it up! Then she didnt have the decency to tell us that she did. A nurse noticed it and they had to remove the ring. He then had a hard time healing and it caused bleeding. He had to see a urologist and is going to have to have it surgically repaired in a few months at Riley. Once she was contacted and informed of her mistake she sent some other doctor in to apologize. She HAD to know she messed it up but just sent him back to us mangled. I do not advise that you take your child to her at all.
Michelle J. replied:
Dr. Malone was Hudson's ped. We loved him. He was so kind and gentle with Hudson, and he was very good at answering our questions.
Lora A. replied:
I have not had good experiences with Dr. Hall either....and I do not like the female physician at SIPS in ellettsville!
Kristin G. replied:
Dr. Hall used to be in Bedford where I live. She managed my son's asthma for a while and was OK. So I trusted her with my baby. Im so sorry I did The fact that she didnt care that she mutilated my child made me want to claw her eyeballs out! She should NOT be practicing.
Cassie T. replied:
STAY AWAY from Dr. Esarey!!!!! He is responsible for my first baby's death. The court ruled him neglegent and a panel of doctors.
Keri L. replied:
Love Dr. Malone!!!! One of the kids was having some problems I wasn't getting any answers. I asked around a lot of people suggested Dr. Malone. The first visit he said we'll start at the bottom and work our way up. Sent us to Riley for test. ALOT of test. He's just a terrific Dr.
Tracy T. replied:
Dr. Laughlin. His nurses are awesome. His policy is YOU know your child better than anyone else. And his nurses will tell you if what I tell you doesn't ease your concern, then we will see your child. That day. For instance, Betsy's fevers ALWAYS disappeared by the time we'd get to his office. Dr Laughlin knew that and always credited me for providing the accurate fever temperature at home.
Haley G. replied:
Tracy Todd we actually really wanted him because he was both Gabe and my ped. He is not taking new patients nor is Dr. Franklin who was my second choice. So I appreciate everyone's feedback so I can move on to choice number three ha ha.
Lora A. replied:
I have also heard great things about Dr Franklin Never met her myself!
Lindsey W. replied:
Dr. Franklin is by far the most amazing at SIPS but I don't think she's taking new patients, only siblings. She's our ped and we LOVE her!
Kristy R. replied:
Yes we love Dr. Malone!
Harmony G. replied:
Dr Wrasse!!! Love him:)
Harmony G. replied:
Dr Malone is also good. He's on my local protection team. He's also a musician:)
Rachael C. replied:
Dr Malone did Avery's circ and he was super nice and did a great job
Lora A. replied:
Dr Wrasse with SIPS would be our first choice if we had to do over! We like ours but since we're leaving we're not going to switch!
Laurie W. replied:
I loved Dr. Laughlin! He was so good with Haley! I wish she could go visit him so he could see how she turned out. She nevered cracked a smile, was so serious, didn't cry after shots. 'Show him no emotion' was her policy! He would always remark right before we left "She still doesn't like me." Then he'd laugh! He was so patient with her!
Rita M. replied:
Dr. Malone is Mary's pediatrician. I let my sister pick her dr because she works in special care at the hospital.. She works with all these dr.s everyday,,, he is super nice, great staff, and willing to work with your choices. Good luck!
Tracy B. replied:
Doc Malone. He is very easy going, which We really like. Very matter of fact, kind, listens and tells it like it is. He is also very patient when We take the kids in and it turns out to be nothing, which is almost always the case.
Okay folks. Kaitlin's pediatrician is retiring and Arya will need to see a new doc. Who do you all recommend here in the Bloomington and Ellettsville area?
Katrina C. replied:
Dr Moore and Dr Wrasse are AWESOME!!
LeAnne K. replied:
Dr Simmons or dr Newby. Both are awesome
Stacy S. replied:
Dr Newby isn't accepting new patients. She told me a couple weeks ago.
Brittany A. replied:
Dr. Newby is in the same building as Moore. But Moore has a waiting list. And then there's dr. Simpson in ellettsville branch o SIPs. SIPs is generally really good.
Amanda H. replied:
My son saw Dr. Newby 3 years ago as an on call pediatrician at the hospital and she was awesome and very thorough. Dr. Esaray is my kids' primary but not sure if he is taking new patients.
John P. replied:
We saw franklin when we lived there. Our favorite was Dr King but she left a while back. How old is Schecter? He was old the one time Jenn saw him lol
Cathe B. replied:
In ellettsville, I think all the docs are accepting patients. Dr. Simmonds, Dr. Wrasse, and Dr. Troilo. At landmark, I think the only one taking new patients is Dr. Newby.
Lori W. replied:
Okay Kaitlin White here are some good opinions. Hope this helped you.
Linda H. replied:
Lori Kirsch White, even though I do not have small children any more...I have heard Dr. Wrasse SIP Ellettsville is pretty good!!
Savannah O. replied:
Doctor Scott Moore
Karen L. replied:
Dr Moore isn't taking any new patients as well as a few other Dr's. But I agree with Cathe all the SIP's Dr's are FABULOUS!
Amanda S. replied:
Heather Franklin southern Indiana pediatrics.
Sarah W. replied:
Dr. John Wrasse at Arlington Rd!
Anitta S. replied:
Heather Franklin! She is wonderful! Our kids have seen her since they were little and Laura still goes and sees her!
Brandee M. replied:
we LOVE Simmonds1
Susan J. replied:
Dr. Troilo will be moving out of state I believe this summer. I like them all though.
Hey mamas out there, I am looking for a pediatrician who would you recommend?
Abby N. replied:
Dr. Heather Franklin. We love her.
Eva J. replied:
We love Dr Franklin!
Harmony E. replied:
I also love Dr. Moore; he's able to keep both Alden and me at ease even in some scary moments. He's also happy to talk through my inevitable 10,000 questions.
Brooke H. replied:
We go to Dr. Wrasse over here off Arlington and 46. We love him. He is with Dr. Simmonds who is good, too. Wrasse is very proactive to give natural suggestions to ease symptoms before anti ( unless really needed of course). I like that! Always on time, too!
Lesley A. replied:
We use Dr Moore, we've always had good experiences there.
Sara R. replied:
Dr Newby! Breckin is great ;)
Lara C. replied:
Dr. Franklin-hands down. If she isn't taking new pts, brechin newby. Newby is SIPS at Landmark and Franklin is Clarizz on the east side.
Katie O. replied:
Dr. Newby!
Amy N. replied:
I really liked Dr. Heather Franklin. She's very level-headed.
Meghan H. replied:
Dr Moore is awesome and has such a great sense of humor! he is so gentle with babies..
Heather S. replied:
Dr Franklin
Laura P. replied:
Jamie Morris just like to poll fb from time to time;)
Kellie L. replied:
Hands down... Dr. Malone. Schedule a free appt with him and ask him all of your questions. SIPs is a racket...Dr Malone is not.
April M. replied:
Absolutely agree- Dr. Franklin. She kept Patton alive on the day of his birth (at 24 weeks) until Riley transport could come and get him. She was amazing then, and she's been amazing ever since.
To all my friends with children in the Bloomington area, what pediatrician do you recommend? I would like to consider a new one for our children- a fresh start? Tagging...
Ariel M. replied:
We use Dr Moore at Riley physicians. But I've been told he doesn't take new patients
Ariel M. replied:
Yes. My friends all use Dr Newby.
Daniel I. replied:
Bloomington Pediatrics seems to have a lot of awesome reviews!
Kelly D. replied:
I went to Dr. Laughlin. He was in the same building as Moore last I knew.
Keenan D. replied:
Dr. Richard K. Malone, was who my brothers and I went too.
Tausha M. replied:
Dr Moore would be my recommendation not dr McDaniel that's for sure she doesn't seem to care much anymore.
Can anyone recommend a pediatrician in Bloomington who is NOT affiliated with IU Health? Thanks to health insurance issues we are (hopefully temporarily) out of network...
Becky R. replied:
Hmmm, last time I checked IU Health took over the world
