Elizabeth R. replied:
I also recommend Dr. Gail Eberharter with FunMedIdaho. She has been very supportive of our decisions. http://www.funmedidaho.com/
JoeyandTara H. replied:
Dr Butuk was very open minded Giving us an unbiased view at both sides & leaving the decision up to us without any judgments. (just as he does with vaccines)
Pete T. replied:
Dr. Ashley Davis, Davis family Medicine was supportive of that particular decision that we made.
Nikki G. replied:
Dr Lisa Barker treasure valley Peds, was supportive. Only problem I had to ask her not to retract, she should have known that.
Jennifer L. replied:
2 nd for Dr Butuk, he is awesome
Brittney H. replied:
Dr. Lee with treasure valley peds doesn't care at all about circs. Keep in mind any treasure valley peds doc is very hard to get into unless mother is pregnant. A lot aren't accepting new patients at all. And they might be fine with circs but we do get a struggle with vaccines. They respect our schedule but we get a lecture all the time. I always recommend Dr. Butuk for natural patents even tho he wasn't a good fit for us
Natasha D. replied:
We love Dr. Butuk at Meridian Family Medicine.
Kyndal M. replied:
There is a nurse practitioner in Eagle I am hearing good things about: Colleen Shackelford:

Carol B. replied:
Carrie Johnson, actually I think the address is this Dr Lindsay. Hahhaha
Dick A. replied:
Carol, I think the group is OK with your request - considering the responses! Boise has about 30 neighborhood associations that focus on their particular area. here is a link to the city list. http://pds.cityofboise.org/planning/comp/neighborhood/associations/

Carrie J. replied:
Facebook group: Treasure Valley Family Activities has a lot of posts about community events. I'm sure there are others. I third Winco. Best prices around here. Sometimes produce isn't so great, hit and miss. Fred Meyer is always great if you can hit a sale on produce, kinda spendy if not. I personally like trader Joe's but too far away. Welcome to our city. We love it here.:) Which area will you be living?
Alison R. replied:
Dr Robert Lindsay takes Medicaid.
Jeanette P. replied:
Welcome!!! Winco. for grocery shopping by far!! Downtown Boise has some amazing farmers markets going on
Considering switching to a new pediatrician, family physician or naturopathic physician. Any recommendations?
Keri P. replied:
We use Christi Julian at Boise Peds. LOVE her!
Suzette D. replied:
I love Dr Karlfeldt, naturopath.
Jessica W. replied:
Dr Knowles at saltzer medical meridian. The sweetest man in the world. He really cares and is overly cautious. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
April P. replied:
Dr David gee family physician. I think he's the best one we've ever met. Vaccine sensible, Christian, seasoned, level-headed, compassionate, professional, wise.
Amanda C. replied:
Dr. Shana Tubach (ped)@St Al's Med Group is AWESOME! Then of course there's Dr. April Dillion (family practice) whom Kelly & I went 2 high school w/ who is brilliant and caring@Primary Health. Please message me if you'd like more info.

Melanie F. replied:
Kelly, I know Nicole and she is great. Nicole, I know Kelly and SHE is great. Great/great.
Connie D. replied:
I highly recommend Dr. Karlfeldt if you would like a Naturopath. He is treating me for my "stuff" from Ethiopia. He is compassionate and very knowledgeable. Dr. Schwendiman with St. Als is our MD if we go that route...best of luck Kelly
Melanie F. replied:
Also if you're looking for a good pediatrician, we are in love with Dr. Ann Overy after some so/so experiences elsewhere. Angela Beauchaine (in the same practice) is also great.
Sarah B. replied:
Dr. Gee at Center for Lifetime Health across from St Luke's.

Mollie H. replied:
St Luke's family medicine dr Toby Davis. He is a family dr and I love him! So thorough and just wonderful with my kids. Danny and I really like him as our dr as well. 706-2200
Justin R. replied:
Loved our pediatrician at Treasure Valley Pediatric in Meridian. Her name was Lisa Barker. She just started practicing about 5 years ago which is why we went with her - its gonna be a long time before she retires!
Mark G. replied:
Dr. Kiel at st. Als is the best!
Monique G. replied:
We go to Scott Schwendiman at St Alphonsus Medical Group down on Emerald, kind of by St Als. It's a bit of a drive but he is so good. He takes time to answer all questions and really take care of the patient. There have been a few times that he has called me after five to answer questions. He's about my age and I am pretty sure he will be here for a while. We've gone there nine years and the kids really like him, too.
Rachel G. replied:
I love my doctor, called to check on the kids after hours with test results and to see house he or she was doing. I also love his nurse, Amanda, they are awesome... Both are in their mid to late 30's. His name is Dr. Eric Roy at treasure valley pediatrics.
Cherish T. replied:
Mine is at Meridian Pediatrics, Van Steenbergen. I love that office.
Josh-Tonya L. replied:
Hey, Kaylene, if I remember right you guys saw Dr Lewer when I worked there. We also saw him and he did go above and beyond. If Dr Shappard is still there I would recommend him. His patients love him and he really seems to care about each one. I wouldn't be surprised though if he isn't taking on anymore new patients. I used to work at all of the St Al's clinics and I would also agree with your friend that recommended Dr Schwindemen at the Emerald clinic. I didn't get a chance to work at the pediatric clinic much but I hear they are great there. Good luck!
Tiesha A. replied:
st al's Dr Keihl is LDS and FANTASTIC
Rebecca P. replied:
I go to st Luke's family medicine on ten mile because I love Kathy Hite- she is a nurse Practitioner. Dr Kroft is also at that office and Cody and Keaton go see him.
Looking for recommendations/input on an exceptional pediatrician that would be especially good at caring for preemie identical twins.
Mattie W. replied:
I live St Al's Pediatrics! 367-4321. Dr. Kiehl, Dr. Tubach, and Dr. Antik are my faves!
Becky G. replied:
I really like Dr Baker, he was great with my preemie and caught things they missed in the NICU. Dr Antik(sp?) is also pretty fabulous, I've seen her a few times and really, really liked her.
Becky G. replied:
St. Als Boise Pediatrics.
Jeff U. replied:
Dr. Zieba Meridian Pediactrics, she is presently taking care of our Preemie Twins, we love her AND the staff. My girls are doing outstanding, from 1.9 pounds to 16 pounds.
Boise friends! I am in need of recommendations for GREAT pediatricians! If you have one, or know of one, please let me know! I guess it is about that time to start...
Little T. replied:
Holy cow! That went by so fast! I love Dr. Julian at St. Al's Pediatrics. She rocks!
Jorene B. replied:
I don't have kiddos, but I have (in my past as a banker) worked with and heard wonderful things about Dr. Ally (that's her first name) and Dr. Zieba at Meridian Pediatrics on Locust Grove just north of Ustick.
Elizabeth D. replied:
If you're looking for a ped with Luke's privileges, I've heard great things about all of the docs at Meridian Peds. My friend is a nurse there and she speaks highly of all of them.
Michelle C. replied:
Dr. Booth with Luke's or Dr. Tubach with Al's...both are great.
Sami A. replied:
I have to second Kami's Dr. Joyce recommendation. He really takes him time to answer all your questions. But we also saw Dr. Julian while we were in the hospital, and we liked her a lot.
Kami W. replied:
Dr Matthew Joyce is amazing, but do you need Al's docs? He just has rights at Luke's:(
Christina W. replied:
Dr. Peterman at Primary Health Pediatrics is amazing. He has kind of an odd bedside manner but he's great. He was my pediatrician, though, so he's obviously a bit older. If I was picking a pediatrician now, I would go with Dr. Smith at the same practice. He has privileges at Luke's downtown, if that matters.
Noelle D. replied:
Kami Williams-Engstrom he is going to be on Donny's insurance so we can have him go anywhere!
Kami W. replied:
I would choose Dr Joyce then! I work for him prn, and he is so good. His office is in Meridian Luke's. He has had some amazing good catches with Ali and has thoroughly impressed me!
Kami W. replied:
The one that shares call with him is Dr Jambura and he's really good too. He was the one that was on call when we had to put Kinsley in the NICU.
Elizabeth D. replied:
Dr Julian with SAMG peds. We LOVE her and she totally listened to us when we knew something was up with Eliza. She helped us instead of writing us off as newbies.
Looking for a pediatrician (in Boise) for baby....any recommendations?
Braden S. replied:
Dr. Andrew Kron.
Adam D. replied:
Dr. Miller in Eagle is the best... takes time to explain things and will stay with you until all your questions are answered. Even checks us to see if we are okay when baby is sick.
Juli A. replied:
Dr. Ann Overy at Primary Health Pediatrics on Emerald. What is really awesome is that if you ever have to take the baby to urgent care at ANY Primary Health, they will have all your records in the system!
Thomas S. replied:
Meridian Pediatrics, off of Locust Grove. Dr. Susan Bradford is great at what she dose.
Angela M. replied:
I agree with Juli! Dr. Overy is Arianna's pediatrician and she's amazing! She personally called me back on Christmas when we had questions about Arianna.
Carolyn S. replied:
We go to primary health pediatrics on emerald near st als. We LOVE them. We see Dr Angela Beauchaine. But all of the doctors, including Dr Overy, are fantastic.
Linda W. replied:
We've liked Mindy Gaddis at Treasure Valley, but she's in Eagle now. Not sure about accepting new patients.Good luck with the search!
Kaitlin F. replied:
Dr. Cron is our regular family Dr. that Andrew and I already see.:)
Carrie P. replied:
Dr. John Jambura. He's great because he's older and very experienced. The best thing about him is he is the only Dr in his office. So we only see him. We saw a Dr in a large group and it sucked because we never seemed to get our Dr when we needed him. ...See More
Tiffany S. replied:
Robert Lindsay or Toby davis
Stephanie M. replied:
Love Elsa Lee at Treasure Valley Pediatrics. But I don't know where you are living... They have an office here and one downtown. Her partner's are all amazing too.
Jerusha B. replied:
Dr. Weiss and Dr. Uranga at Treasure Valley Peds are great, as well!

Liz T. replied:
We also see Lisa Barker. Everyone I've interacted with there has been nice.
Aubrey R. replied:
We love Dr. Godfrey at Treasure Valley Pediatrics in Eagle, but I'm not sure if he's taking new patients. I also really like Dr. Gaddis at that location. We've also been impressed with Dr. Hanks and Dr. Ostermiller at the Meridian location. Treasure Valley Pediatrics is nice because you can always get in to see a doctor, even if it's not your doctor. And they have some evening and weekend hours downtown for urgent visits. Good luck!
Leslye P. replied:
Dr. Gee is in Boise, but he is great!!! I drive all the way there for him. I've also heard great thing about Dr. Butuk who is in Meridian.
Lauren B. replied:
Everyone told me Treasure Valley Pediatrics was the place to go but they were full and a primary doctor is typically cheaper so Heaton goes to Dr. Gee too he's great!!
Tyann B. replied:
Thanks everyone! It looks like we're going with TV Pediatrics. Now we just need to decide which doctor. After looking at the doctors there we wanted Dr Barker but she's not taking new patients until August. But it sounds like we're in good hands no matter which doctor we pick. Thanks again for everyone's input!
Katie Q. replied:
Meridian pediatrics!!!!!!! They are the BEST!!!! We love dr ally!!! But they are all awesome!!!

In the Boise area I am looking for a pediatrician. Who do you like & why?Jon Beasley
Kelly S. replied:
Dr Lindsey at Ada pediatrics almost killed Mason when he was 8 weeks old. We do not recommend him
Heather G. replied:
Dr. Vaun Archibald. He is at Saint Alphonsus. We have followed him there from another clinic. It is very easy to get in the day of if your child is sick. He is also excellent when giving advice about anything child related. My kids are both very comfortable with him. It is also nice to have a pediatrician at a hospital because if there is ever something serious that needs to be dealt with or he needs advice from a specific type of doctor they are right there to offer it.
Shara R. replied:
I take Lexi to Ann Overy at Primary Health Pediatrics on Emerald and I really like her. All my sisters kids go to her too and they love her.
Rebecca B. replied:
John Jambura at inter mountain pediatrics. He is my kids doctor plus he was my premature cousins doctor. Is great with all kinds of kids. With or with out disabilities! He is usually the on call doctor at St. Lukes meridian. He has been in the business a long time
Jessica Q. replied:
We have used Angela Beauchaine, M.D. » Primary Health for the past 4 years and a friend of mine has used here for the past 13. She is great. Easy to talk to great with kids. Helped me alot with first time parent tips, and tricks. She is fantastic. Meliah always likes to see her when we go. staff is, great.
Kelly S. replied:
Dr Lindsey was great with my first son, now 21, and we never had any issues. When Masey, 16, was born I worked from home and nursed him. He developed a cold and as it got worse I took him in 3 times in 7 days and kept getting sent home. Dr Bob patted me on the back said to keep doing what I was and he would be fine. I took him home and later that day he vomited and it was mucus and breast milk. I started crying so husband put us in the car and we dropped our other 2 kids off at my mother in laws. When we got to the office they looked him over said he just had a cold but if it would make me feel better we could take him to St Lukes and have him admitted for observation. We drove straight there, got him admitted and within 30 minutes Masey was in full arrest, in the NICU and hooked up to everything you can imagine. The Dr told us that if we would have stopped to get a soda Masey would have died in my arms. After that I trusted my mommy instincts every single time wether I looked like a crazed mother or not. I am so so glad that your kids have flourished under his care, I truly am. I, however, would not take my children of grandchildren to him.
Tiffany H. replied:
OMG! That is so horrible, i am sorry you had to go through that. I am no stranger to the fear of losing a child. I wouldn't wish that on even my worst enemy. I now have five children. I have had many situations that have tested my mommy instincts. Should I take them to Dr Bob or take them to be admitted! I usually just take them to be admitted. If I have to question it than its never good so I just take them to st lukes. I am so happy that your little man had the chance to become not so little anymore! Oh how the time flys huh? And even though I have always had good experiences....This mother is now going to always remember the story of an 8 week old little boy named Mason.
I am feeling like I am on crunch time with less 9 weeks left :/ I am looking for a pediatrician, any ideas or recommendations?? Please let me know. Thanks :)
Melissa S. replied:
I love Dr. Khristine Miller with St. Lukes Pediatrics (Treasure Valley Pediatrics). She's been Tanners doc since the day he was born and he LOVES her!!!! She's my favorite!
Heather N. replied:
Dr. Bradford at meridian pediatrics.. on locust grove.. they are awesome!
Melanie H. replied:
Treasure Valley Pediatrics I loved, the kids saw Dr. Gaddis. Due to insurance coverage we switched to Meridian Pediatrics and the kids saw Dr. Steenbergen, she's great too.
Angela E. replied:
my kids & grandkids have gone to & go to St. Als Boise Pediatrics. Dr. Antink, Dr. Baker, Dr. Kiehl. All awesome.
Jessica W. replied:
Also at St. Als boise pediatrics we see Dr Jullian. and love her!
