My husband saw a nutritionist out in WI as he had terrible stomach ulcers, completely different scenario, but this lady changed his life. And she started bc she found a way to help her sick daughter. Her name is Karen Hurd: http://www.karenhurd.com it is absolutely amazing to see how diet changes lives.

Thank you for sharing Molly! I am going to visit Dr. Pam maybe she can help me. Love this page Mel!
Molly S. replied:
I have friends who have used Dr. Pam when they had fertility issues too... They credit her for giving them a family! She is amazing! Not just with allergy related stuff!
Bre B. replied:
I don't know any allergists, but I just want to give you props for working so hard for your kiddo. It can be completely overwhelming, from making appointments, missing work, insurance claims, medical bills, etc. I have two kids with a genetic disorder called Ehlers Danlos, and we have spent a LOT of time at Children's with neurology, ENT, orthotics, geneticists, physiologists, PT, OT, etc. They've all been fantastic. I hope you also had good experiences, and we will keep your little one in our thoughts. You go girl!
Patty D. replied:
My daughter had many issues when she was younger with immune issues, respiratory issues, and ear infections. We were referred to Dr Marker thru Childrens he is an infectious disease dr, and we see Dr Brooke Moore thru Childrens for her respiratory issu es, she also saw a Dr thru them for here tubes but he is retiring in a couple days Between all of these people we have had really good luck and she is doing much better! Good luck! I know how hard it is when your kiddos are sick and all you want is to make them better!
Kathy E. replied:
try Herbal Health in Anoka. Tammy is wonderful. She can test for allergies, and many other issues. www.jordansnutrition.com
Jason E. replied:
Dr. Google has some pretty good suggestions, worth a try, or call the # on the back of your card and they can get you pointed in the right direction on whose in your network
Pam M. replied:
Dr. Wexler by Ridgedale mall has been listed as a top doc in MPLS mag for several years and we love his clinic (we see his PA, Dr Pam). Advancements in Allergy. They treat allergy and asthma. However, that being said, I agree with folks above about fo od allergies. Dairy is a big one. Always worth a shot to eliminate for minimum of a week (two weeks tops) to test and costs no money. Always blows me away by how few docs look at food allergies. Good luck.
Laura S. replied:
We too saw Dr. Wexler and our daughter was diagnosed with an immune deficiency. She was 2 1/2 when diagnosed and now 12. She has outgrown some of the early issues but has lingering sinus issues. Her IGA levels are now normal...so many kids just have a rough start and need a little help to get going. Great doctor, worth the drive.
Sarah E. replied:
Dr Ralph Shapiro at Midwest Immunology in Plymouth. Our 6 year old has X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia and has been seeing him and getting subcutaneous infusions since 6 weeks of age. One of the best immunologists in the country!
Molly S. replied:
I had some mystery issues that were food related. Went to 5 doctors who all told me good luck... I was desperate when I was referred to a naturopathic doctor... Dr. Pam at Functional Medicine in Maple Grove... Have had no issues since and it has been nearly 3 years. Best part, no invasive tests and treated with non-drug options!

We see Dr Libby at Park Nicollet MG! We do go to St. Louis Park for child psychiatry and I also wish there was a closer option, but Dr. Guan up there is awesome and I would drive anywhere to see her! Son also has ADHD, RAD, ODD, anxiety,sensory issues... she is great!!!! Very thorough and makes sure you understand everything. She tells you how to contact her after hours, keeps an opening every day for emergencies and does have evening appointments

Prairie Care and Nystrom and Associates are both very good mental care facilities. They both have multiple campuses across the cities.
Emily H. replied:
From personal experience, I would recommend Prairie Care. They have a whole health team for you. Brooklyn Park does not do outpatient, but they do in other locations in the TC area. Great psychologists my family has seen were at Nystrom and Family Innovations. Both in Anoka.
Jackie C. replied:
Brian Putz at prevail counseling diagnosed my son, he's very nice and thorough. He's just a psychologist so he can't prescribe anything. Unfortunately my son couldn't connect with him. He's now seeing a therapist at lee Carlson center. They have evening hours but I think their psychiatrist have a long wait. We go to a psychiatrist at park Nicollet as well in St. Louis park.
