Dr. Paige was mine and my sisters for 18 years and he really did a wonderful job!
Megan B. replied:
Dr. Lia Gaggino! She was at the wedding introducing herself to everyone as my pediatrician
Megan S. replied:
Dr Gibson at Pediatrics PC. I've gone to her until I was 17!
Kimberly R. replied:
My nieces used to go to a Doctor on Lovers Lane but they changed to Dr. Hugget in Paw paw. It's not Kalamazoo but my sister says he is worth the drive. The kids love him too.
Katie L. replied:
Drs. Paige or Sommers at Trestlewood.
Darrell G. replied:
Nancy hilleren has always been fantastic. Very sound medically (rarer than you think). Dr. Galindo is Slso quite good
Looking for suggestions!! Good/great pediatrician that accepts medicaid in/around Kalamazoo or Battle Creek Michigan area. I may have to change her insurance if I can't...
Mysti F. replied:
Try Bronson Rambling Roads. I dont know if they are accepting new medicaid patients or not but if they are i can tell you they are awesome. Good luck 372-1000
Jessi F. replied:
My kids go to Pediatrics PC on Mall drive. I don't know if they are accepting new patients right now or not
Meghan M. replied:
I miss Dr. Purdy. And the next time they say something about Grace's weight, just tell them about Jimmy's family. Better yet, have them ALL go to the doctor with you. They are TALL! We are short! Thank god she got their genes so she can reach things for you when she's older. I love you both and have no problem arm wrestling someone on your behalf.
Carmen J. replied:
I love Bright Futures Pediatrics on 9 th St. Not sure if they accept Medicaid.
Someone help! I have not been able to find a Pediatrician that accepts Medicaid, or it accepting new patients or will see Graem because we've chosen not to vaccinate!!...
Judith M. replied:
Tara we go through this with our foster kiddos every time we get new ones. The only doctors in Kalamazoo area that accept new Medicaid patients are Family Health Center and the practice you just left. You'll have to probably go outside of Kalamazoo. Good luck.
Denver R. replied:
Hey my pediatrician is great! She accepts medicaid... you will have to call and see about them accepting new patients...it's in Battle creek though. Her name is Krystyna Malec. She is an amazing doctor. She won't even prescribe medicines etc unless absolutely necessary. 269-962-6221
Kalamazoo/Portage moms - any pediatrician recommendations? Who do you use? Do you like them?
Kelly M. replied:
It depends on whether or not you are choosing to vaccinate. Dr. Born's office is GREAT about honoring what the parent's beliefs are. Other ped offices will kick you out if you choose to not vaccinate or delay vaccinations. We use Dr. Born:-)
Amanda C. replied:
Thx Sarah Doorlag!:)
Shannon W. replied:
We don't use a pediatrician, but rather a DO (Dr. of Osteopathy). They're training is sort of like a combination of that of an MD & a chiropractor. Ours (Dr. Eric Born) is the most holistic dr. in the area (as far as I've heard. . .), & has a great vaccination schedule for the little ones so as not to put too much stress on their bodies, & yet they have all their required vaccinations by school-age. . .
Kristine B. replied:
Our family sees Dr. Born also, but I am not sure he is taking new patients? You should call to see!
Kendra S. replied:
I use Dr. Ensfield on Milham in Portage. Amazing doctor and staff. They have come in on a Sunday to treat our son. They are wonderful!
Kendra S. replied:
Dr. Ensfield had accepted our wishes to not use certain vaccines and has never pressured us into anything- thank goodness! They do share the pros and cons and urge us to get them but I'm glad they didn't kick us out! Lol
Kelli T. replied:
I also use Dr Ensfield. He was my doctor growing up too
Mark B. replied:
Can dads make recommendations? We use Bright Futures. We don't go in very often, but they do call back when you call after hours. No complaints.
Laura H. replied:
We use Trestlewood Pediatrics and we love them. There is always a Dr. on call and they are so very friendly. I'm very happy with them.
Sarah D. replied:
Trestlewood Pediatrics on lovers lane across from Loy Norrix. Dr Page or Dr VanEs. Great office and staff.
Ok Mommas (and Padres) in the kzoo area: Anyone have a pediatrician they would recommend? Any of them out there I should stay away from?
Stacie R. replied:
We love Rambling Roads on Center St. Mary Schira NP and Dr Elias are both great!
Kendra L. replied:
We go to Rambling Road on Stadium. I have never had any problems. My favorite doc is Dr. Dyk very good with the kids and parents.
Morgan K. replied:
Pro Med Pediatrics rocks! The P.A.'s and staff are very knowledgable and friendly. Due to the office size u can get in very quickly, which I think is very important. Within the same building is an affiliated quick response and lab.
Anna M. replied:
I absolutely LOVe Amy Roberts in Paw Paw.
Christina B. replied:
Rambling Road on Stadium. Dr. Dyk is awesome.
Tim B. replied:
Rambling road on Stadium Dr. We see Dr Lister and Brynn is really good around her and she is great with Brynn
Chloé J. replied:
<3 Amy Roberts N.P.
Trisha B. replied:
I love Trestlewood across fron mikham Park. I picked them because Dr Page is a former PICU Dr & I always liked him. Bronson Lakeview peds in Paw Paw is hard to get an appointment, from what I hear. Never have had any troublw getting a same day appointment@Trestlewood, have never felt rushed thru an appointment.
Charlene H. replied:
Dr. Kavanaugh Paw Paw Lakeview Pediatrics. I heard Amy Roberts is great too.
Luann R. replied:
Bright Future Peds on 9 th St, Dr. Sylvia Hicks Fox, love all of them there!!!!
Hello! Does anyone have recommendations for open minded pediatricians or family medicine practitioners in the Kalamazoo area?
Cassie K. replied:
Laura Ford is in Mattawan, she is Nurse Practioner
Kristie C. replied:
Dr. Born at Parchment Family Practice.
Emile M. replied:
We just switched to Bronson Lakeview Peds after getting kicked out of a practice in town. My kids have only had physicals there so I can't say anything about abx use, but we saw Dr Cartmill, got no grief on our modified vax schedule and I felt like he respected our role as parents and that I knew my children and what was right for them best. I will say that for one of my daughters, he did question our use of whole milk dairy but once I explained how we eat and how we structure our meals for our kids he thought that our approach was appropriate and didn't suggest changing it. I will say that we live in the center of Kzoo so it is a good half hour drive but since my kids are rarely sick enough to go to the doctor outside of physicals, it seems fine.
Stacy D. replied:
We like Constance Mumford at Borgess Promed. I will say, we only ever go in for very rare sick visits, didn't do wbc, don't vax, and don't ask her opinion on our parenting practices. She's very low key.
Renee G. replied:
I have no idea if she's taking patients or not, but we all see Nan Haring (FNP) at Bronson Family Medicine and we couldn't be happier or feel more respected.
Okay, Kalamazoo friends...I need the name of a good doctor for each of my kids that have outgrown their pediatrician. Dr. McKeeby and Dr. Cindi Smith are not accepting...
Carolyn R. replied:
One of my kids liked Dr. Little; the other didn't. I don't have any other suggestions. Tell him hello from me the next t ime you see him!
Mike C. replied:
Eric sees, but not very often, Dr Sward. Same practice as dr McKeeby.
Connie S. replied:
Dr Amber Darey Thomas or Dr Cieseske they are on Center Street. Bronson Family Health.
Heather N. replied:
I will put a second vote in for Annie's health care office. I have seen Dr. Schreiner, and Dr. Davidson. Both are excellent.
Gregory M. replied:
We used Rambling Road Pediatrics. We used all of the docs there and thought they all were good. They are out on Stadium past 131. Originally there were on Rambling Road. David, my son, stayed with them until he turned 18 and graduated HS.
Looking for pediatrician recommendations in the Kalamazoo area - go! Thanks!
Scott V. replied:
Trestlewood. Susan and I went there as kids and so do our boys now. We love them! Multiple docs, always get in right away and our boys love Dr Somers
Karen R. replied:
Bright Futures
Mandy V. replied:
Trestlewood Pediatrics!!! We've met every doctor there and they are great. If you have an emergency after hours, one of the docs always has the on call phone with them. And they have Saturday hours as well and won't leave until every sick child is seen!
April V. replied:
We also love Trestlewood. All the doctors are wonderful, Dr. VanEs is our favorite. He has worked with Ty Henry since we were in the hospital.
Jenna C. replied:
Bronson Rambling Rd pediatrics. I've seen 4-5 doctors in the office and like them all
Does anyone in the Kzoo area have a good recommendation for a family doc/pediatrician in the area that is open to and accepting of holistic healthcare?
Apparently it's that time.... The dr asked me (at 16 weeks) if I've found a pediatrician yet :-/ any suggestions?
Stephanie N. replied:
Trestlewood Pediatrics hands down. They ALWAYS have gotten me in same day if you need it...even if you call at 4:45, they will stay late for you. They are right by Loy Norrix.
Mandy E. replied:
I second Trestlewood. We have mainly seen Dr Somers and Dr Page! But all their docs are great!
Hello Parents! We recently moved here to Richland and I am in need of a new Pediatrician. My son is 7 and is Autistic and my daughter is 5. Thanks! Any...
Amy F. replied:
I'm not sure if he is still there, but dr Eric slosberg was at ProMed Pediatrics in Richland. He also had a practice in Battle creek focused on Autism. We saw him for a while and I think he mentioned he had over 100 patients with autism. May be a place to check out. It's close to you at least! Good luck!
Parent M. replied:
Dr. Slisberg retired but there are lots of options. Char, call the office and ask for Amy. I'll get you some names.
Looking for a good pediatrician in Kalamazoo for Adam...if anyone knows of any they'd suggest and would be willing to message me we'd love the input! :)
Sabrina J. replied:
Dr. Cicielski (sha-shell-ski) at Bronson Medical on Center St is absolutely wonderful. Takes a more holistic approach.:-)
Looking for a good pediatrician in the kalamazoo area for Koree. We both are first time parents and want the best for our daughter! Does anyone have any recommendations?
Nancy E. replied:
Bright Futures Pediatrics! On 9 th St. LOVE Dr. Hicks-Fox, she's so sweet! All my nieces and nephews go there and my son did when we lived there. Very nice, gentle staff
