Hi! I am looking for a good pediatrician in the area for my daughter who is 5m old. Any recommendations would be wonderful :) thanks in advance!
Traci E. replied:
Dr Jane Glidden is excellent.
Jen P. replied:
Pediatric Health Associates in Bedford is wonderful! We LOVE Dr. Palumbo! She takes as much time as you need to answer questions or talk about anything going on without ever making you feel crazy. We have had good experiences with the other doctors there as well whenever she is not available for emergency visits.
Rebecca M. replied:
I second Dr Palumbo. She is the best Dr my kids have ever had
Sandra S. replied:
Denise Youssef at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Nashua! Actually, any of the doctors there. We've been very happy there. Stay away from Foundation Pediatrics, especially Linda Williams. We had horrible experiences with them.
Casey E. replied:
Cara Mills at Foundation Pediatrics in Nashua!!!!! Linda Williams there is also good. 594-6030
Christina M. replied:
Dr Lero at Merrimack Medical Center...love him
Billie P. replied:
Dr Matk Meyers Bedford he's the best.

Steph T. replied:
Can't say enough great things about Dr. Linda Williams!!
Christine N. replied:
Dr Cara Mills at Foundation Pediatrics in Nashua is fabulous!
Nicole G. replied:
Dr. Mark Meyers in Bedford! I cannot preach enough. He is everything and more you could ask for in a ped. My son is four and he loves going to see dr. Mark and is always excited to help out with his younger sisters appointments.

Lisa Judge was amazing with my son. I also highly recommend MEEP!!
Katharine E. replied:
My 4 year old gets speech through MEEP at Mastricola and also goes to Sara Josef at New England Pediatric Services in Bedford. Between the both of them he has made incredible progress over the last 1 1/2 years.
Karen B. replied:
I also highly recommend Amy Lister, she's been working with my son for over a year. She has a wonderful way with him. Plus she comes to your home.
Jennifer H. replied:
Amy Lister Speech Therapy she lives in Merrimack and will come to your home. She is wonderful.

Emily Adams at elliot rehab on holt ave in manchester...she's amazing
Kim M. replied:
I second Amy Vartanian Lister!
Lisa M. replied:
Yes! Lisa Judge will evaluate speech at age 3 - if he qualifies, he can attend the MEEP program. You can also call Gateway Services in Nashua and they will come to your home to evaluate if he is under age 3. My oldest got services from them that were covered by the state at age 2. They would come to my house once a week, since he qualified and worked with him right in our home
Tracy C. replied:
Amy lister my son had her for 5 years she is amazing. http://www.amylisterspeechtherapy.com/#2631
Very disappointed to hear that my childrens pediatrician isnt coming back to work. I am now lookong for recommendations for a new pediatrician. Not looking to go into...
Lori S. replied:
Is it Dr. Kaupp? I've been waiting to hear about her as well.
Chandler M. replied:
If you want great doctors- not in town, but Dr Kara Kaupp's Husband, Greg Kaupp, runs Medicine Pediatrics on Prospect Street in Nashua. My girls' PCP is Dr Chris Riccio, and he is fantastic. I have a girl with severe allergies, Vaso-vagal syncope, asthma, immuno issues, and another with multiple special needs, also a teenager. We have been with the practice over 10 years, and I was their first homebirth mom, and they allowed me to delegate my needs and were/are very open-minded and supportive with my style of natural parenting. Wonderful doctors, all of them, and also part of Foundation. We have had med flights, PICU stays, and some crazy strange medical issues, and they've been wonderful. Can't recommend the practice enough.
Sandra S. replied:
My only recommendation is in Nashua, but it's north Nashua and very close to Merrimack. We've been super happy with Dr. Denise Youssef at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Nashua. This is after using two other offices that were awful, so we're pretty picky as well. We've seen other doctors at DH peds for urgent things and have liked them as well. Good luck with your search. Finding a doctor you like is a pain.
Paula H. replied:
All my children went she is 23 now,severe asthmatic and two still goes river Rd pediatrics in Bedford .my son as well has asthma
Meagan T. replied:
We go to Dr. Andrea Palumbo in Bedford. Her husband is also a pediatrician out of Windham. We saw him (Dr. Matthew Hajduk) for 8 years before switching to her.
Heidi M. replied:
Bummer. Not a pediatrician but Daniel Rosenbaum is a general practitioner, my kids and I all see him. He's moving the first of the year to Derry Medical in BEDFORD, 160 S River. Phone: 537-1300. I love him. My kids love him. My son was small and before Rosenbaum I was getting 'failure to thrive'; Dr Rosenbaum told me as long as they stay on their OWN growth/weight curve no issue. My kids are never "on the chart". We're slender people and average height, we're not starved, it's genetics!
Kelly N. replied:
Dr Gittleman with St. Joseph family Med next to convenient MD in Merrimack
Nicole K. replied:
Pediatric associates of Bedford has been great for us. They're right on 101 across from the hannaford. We've seen at least 3 of the providers, all wonderful. They also have great extended hours in Manchester for urgent needs.
Tiffany M. replied:
Is your doctor Dr Kaupp in Merrimack? I know she's been out for a few months. We saw her associate a few times. I did like him but I'm going to be very sad if she's permanently gone since my kiddos have seen her since they were babies and she really knows our situation well. I do hope she's ok though.
Bonnie H. replied:
If Dr. Krupp is leaving I'm probably also leaving, this will be my son's 3 rd doctored in 6 years to leave there. I loved her and so sad she's leaving. I have seen Dr.Lero a few times and he's good, it's just really hard to live up to Dr.Kaupp...
Jenny D. replied:
Sick with Dr Lero then!!

Coleman Family Dental Care in Amherst is a short drive that is worth the trip! The staff are awesome and Dr. Coleman is everything I ever wanted in a dentist and more. Our family loves her!
Christopher D. replied:
Welcome to Merrimack! We use Dr Linda Williams from Foundation Medical out of Nashua.

Holly M. replied:
you could normally go to town hall on Baboosic Lake Rd. for the plate changeover but they will be temporarily out of commission 10/6-10/10 http://www.merrimacknh.gov/
Chrissy D. replied:
Nashua pediatrics. Dr. Williams. Also woman’s care in Nashua. Dr Maynard is the absolute best!!
Heather V. replied:
Loved Bedford Commons for OB. We go to DH in Nashua for pediatrics. They are generally petty good and really close to our house. I didn't really care for River Road Pediatrics, we always waited long periods of time, even for appointments scheduled way in advance. Waiting in a room for an hour with an infant wasn't working. Welcome to the area!
RenaLee R. replied:
Best pediatric endocrinologist is Dr. Charest in Manchester with Dartmouth Hitchcock. She has been my son's for 16 years. My husband uses Dr. Silver in Nashua. He sees adults. We used Creative Years Daycare in Nashua. Love the security, teacher ratio, and facility.
Sandra S. replied:
For endocrinology I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Pallavi Guddeti at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Manchester. I've been through a few from Lowell to Nashua, and she's the only one I like. Avoid Dr.Levine's office at St. Joes in Nashua. They're AWFUL. For peds, I've been very happy with all of the ones at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Nashua. Our main Pediatrician is Dr. Yussef. She's great.
Jessica B. replied:
River road pediatrics and Dr Gudetti (Dartmouth Hitchcock Endocrinologist)
Irina E. replied:
Welcome to town! We moved here from TN over five years ago and love it here! DMV was super easy. But you will need to go to both DMV and town office to register and switch over plates. We love Tollhouse preschool. I'm very happy with Dr Signalov as my endo. We switched over to foundation pediatrics and like it so far..
Irina E. replied:
For OBs, I loved loved loved Dr Maynard but found that practice too busy and impersonal. Switched to full circle midwifery for my second child which was awesome, but they don't do certain things in that office. So I'm curious to see what people recommend! ☺️
I'm looking for recommendations for a primary health care provider, preferably in Merrimack. I would like to avoid Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinic unless there is somebody...
Jennifer G. replied:
Dr.Garlin at Foundation family is amazing!!!603-429-3155
Sarah L. replied:
Another for Dr Garlin. She's great. A little quiet at first meeting but a wonderful physician.
Melina T. replied:
DR Winn at Southern NH near the bowling alley- very thorough!
Holly C. replied:
I second Wright & Associates out of Amherst. I switched from a Merrimack practice to her and I have never been happier. Everyone there is so welcoming and caring and they always want to get to the bottom of an issue.... I highly recommend them.
Kelly B. replied:
Wonderful care from Dr. Garlin - and she follows up personally with you after testing and to remind you to get back in to get stuff checked!
Caren P. replied:
I love my PCP. Dr. Mary Engel at Elliot Family Medicine in Amherst (it's on 101 across from the Black Forest Cafe). I'm in NW Merrimack not far from Bab Lake, so it's about a 10 minute drive for me.
Mary B. replied:
I love Dr. Dennis at SJ family medical amherst st in Nashua. or Wendy L. Wright is absolutely fantastic and I think her practice is in Amherst
Karen E. replied:
I like Sarah Phillip at amherst family practice (and the others who I have seen there)

Have had Dr Lero for > 10 years, from Nashua to amherst to Merrimack. GREAT doc, especially for an athlete who transitions from little kid to teenager. If he's accepting new patients, grab him
Amy G. replied:
Another vote for Dr. Lero!
Christine N. replied:
Dr Cara Mills for sure!
Brett F. replied:
Dr Charles Cappetta
Lisa M. replied:
We use Nashua pediatrics, Dr. LeBlanc.

Dr. Mills Hands down! We left Dartmouth years ago. We've been through surgeries and hospitalizations with both kids and adore Cara Mills at Foundation Pediatrics. I also like Linda Williams there.
Linda C. replied:
Dr William Lero or Dr Cara Kaupp at Merrimack Medical Center.
Jennifer S. replied:
Dr. Bridget Olsen at Partners in Pediatrics in Nashua is amazing. I've recommended her to a few people and they love her too.
Lisa M. replied:
Nashua Pediatrics is great (we switched to DH because the location was better for us) - Dr. Capetta with Dartmouth Hitchock is great and we love Dr. Pare there as well (she is an OD)
My wife and I are new to town with a two-year-old toddler. Can anyone recommend a good pediatrician? The one we left behind was fantastic so we are hoping for some...
Kerri T. replied:
We like Dartmouth Hitchcock in nashua. Dr Susan Abel has been mine for 6 years. Love her. We have also seen most of the other doctors over the years (sick visits etc when dr able isn't in) and they have all been great. People also rave about Dr cappetta there too (we did see him once and liked him)
Kelly E. replied:
Dr. Youssef at Dartmouth Hitchcock is amazing! You can't go wrong with any of the pediatricians at DH!
Kathryn C. replied:
Nashua Pediatrics go see Dr LeBlanc. He is amazing you will not be disappointed.
Janet T. replied:
i have heard good things about Dartmouth Hitchcock. We are moving to Merrimack next week and will be looking for a new peditrician for our twin 2 years olds and 4 year old!
Amy S. replied:
Merrimack Medical Center is great and we love Dr. Lero and Dr. Kaupp!
Alicia M. replied:
We love Dartmouth Hitchock in Nashua (near the merrimack border)...has our family pracitice, obgyn, internal medicine, deremtology, radiology, peditrician all right there.
Lisa M. replied:
^ we go there too. We switched from one pedi we weren't thrilled with to Dr. Pare and she has been amazing. Almost all the pedis in that practice we have seen and they have been great.
Lisa M. replied:
Prior to going to Dartmouth Hitchcock, we used to go to Nashua pediatrics, they were great too, but I wanted a facility with better hours and doctor closer to where we live.
Stephanie M. replied:
We love Merrimack Valley pediatrics, they are in Nashua but are definitely worth the trip.
Justine A. replied:
We have Denise Youssef at D-H Pediatrics and love her.
Annette C. replied:
Right in Bedford across from Hannaford on 101 is Elliot pediatric associates they are amazing. Mintz Meyers & palumbo
Kathryn R. replied:
I keep my kids in the Elliot health network, Bc of their medical history. We tried Elliot pediatrics, had good luck with Dr. Palumbo, but Dr. Mintz dropped several balls, so we left the practice.
Our baby is due in May and we need to start thinking about a pediatrician. Does anyone have recommendations in the Merrimack/Nashua/Bedford area?
Amanda M. replied:
Nicole we LOVE Dr. Learner and the rest of the staff at Merrimack Valley Pediatrics! In Nashua
Dayna W. replied:
Pediatric Health Associates in Bedford. We see Dr Palumbo but the other two doctors are fantastic as well! They have great weekend and after hours for emergencies.
Diana G. replied:
We love Dr Jones at DHMC Milford
Holly S. replied:
Agreed on River Road. My son went 6 months with a milk allergy which they thought was just a sensitivity. We've had nothing but great experience with Elliot Pediatrics in Manchester!
Katelynn K. replied:
Dr. Fitzgerald at merrimack valley is amazing! Especially when I had millions of ftm questions!
Krystal C. replied:
Dr Glidden as Partners in Pediatrics. Hardly ever a wait, easy to get visits when needed and she is great to work with.
Jillian M. replied:
I second Pediatric Health Associates in Bedford! We see Dr. Myers for our son and will see Dr.Palumbo for our daughter thats due any day now:)
Katie T. replied:
I third Pediatric Health Associates in Bedford! All three of my kids see Dr. Myers and they all love him. We love his nurse Ernie too, she is just awesome
Stefni C. replied:
Nashua pediatrics Dr Beahm!!! Love her very much have had no issues at all there!
Rebecca R. replied:
We go to Dr. Learner at Merrimack Valley Pediatrics (down at exit 1). He's been great and is very respectful. We just changed to them since we had a couple bad experiences at another office (we tried River Road Pediatrics first, and they were rude to me and made me feel as though I had no idea what I was doing as a parent). Completely different at MVP - from the moment I walked in everyone there was so sweet. It's a bit of a drive but I'd rather drive an extra 15 min for the right doctor.
Rebecca R. replied:
I've also heard great things about Dr. Glidden at Partners in Pediatrics (same plaza as Merrimack Valley)
Franzi S. replied:
Hi!! Dr. Lero or Kaupp at merrimack medical center - both great with our babies:)
Can anyone recommend a good pediatrician who is in Merrimack
Brittney C. replied:
Mary Merkle is a family dr and her nurse practitioner is Josephine adewumi. They're an amazing team. They're at Dartmouth hitchcock in Merrimack.
Mariel W. replied:
None of the pediatricians at Foundation by the bowling alley we're accepting new patients when out son was born 7 mos ago so we go to Dartmouth Hitchcock at exit 8 Chuck Cappetta and his NP Ellie Maguire are awesome!
Sarah B. replied:
Dr. Kaupp and Dr. Lero at Merrimack medical center!
Lauren B. replied:
Chuck Cappetta is AMAZING!!
Kathleen F. replied:
Dr Capetta and Ellie Maguire at DH in Merrimack - hard to beat .... quick appointments, online records and reminders!!!
Lisa M. replied:
We have Dr. Lero and love him but to be honest-I don't love his nurse or sometimes the office staff. Plus have had a lot of turnover in the office. They've added some doctors and staff so I think the transition was a bit hectic at first but hopefully it's going to get better soon.
Megan B. replied:
Michelle Arenella Tia and I both use Medicine Pediatrics for our families and we both live our doctors and the practice. It's affiliated with Southern NH and you know that we both have some tricky kid health stuff. I can't say enough great things. They're in the old YMCA building
Bonnie J. replied:
We use foundations next to the. Bowling alley and really like Dr.Kaupp, even though she's not taking on new patients Dr. Leo is new there and we've had him once and I liked him too. They work as a team, when one is booked or out so liking both peds is always a bonus!
Megan S. replied:
Dr. Kaupp and Dr. Lero, next to the bowling alley. We love them.
Joyce H. replied:
Dr. William Lero is in Merrimack at the Southern NH immediate care building by the bowling alley. I have gone to him for years and all my children love him. He is very kind and actually listens unlike some doctors.
Anyone have any experience with River Road Pediatrics in Bedford? Any suggestions on pediatricians or any one to stay away from?
Amy L. replied:
We've never had a bad experience there. I really like Cathy Leighton, the CPNP.
Holly S. replied:
I bring my son there because my husband went there his whole life. He was upset he could no longer be seen there. I have seen all of the doctors there and I am nothing but satisfied with everyone:) but Dr Shobaini (spelling?) is my favorite!
Kim K. replied:
The kids I nanny go there, I guess they're good there. Dr Myers is the pediatrician that I use, but all the doctors in the office are great there!
Kristen M. replied:
Dr. Sheibani is awesome!!
Sarah H. replied:
Dr. Sheibani and Dr. Schwartzberg are both great!
Rachael H. replied:
I went there growing up, I was upset when they'd no longer see me! Love Cathy Leighton as well!!!
Jenny B. replied:
Definitely Cathy Leighton there!
Diana W. replied:
Cathy Leighton is great. I think she works a few days a week, but not full time.
Jenny B. replied:
Mondays and Wednesdays. We schedule well-visits with her and like getting sick on those days. We've also liked Dr. Schwartzberg too

Welcome! We moved here about 7 months ago! My Boys all see Dr. Youseff at Dartmouth Hitchcock. We have only had well visits but heard good things about her.
F G. replied:
My three grew up on Nashua Pediatrics. My X was a pediatric nurse at the time. She has moved on and so has some of the Drs. My cousins used them for their children and she is a nurse. My cousins children now use NP. The Bedford practice mentioned first is also excellent so you have some great options.
RenaLee R. replied:
Dr. Lero out of the Southern Regional Building next to the bowling alley. The only Dr. in NH to be board certified by the NH board in Pediatrics. Other Drs. are certified as family practitioners. He talks to the kids directly not to just the parents. He takes his time with each visit and when your child sees other specialists he makes them send him reports to keep him in the loop. He even checks up with you to see if you are following up with them. He has been our son's dr. for all 17 years of his life.
This topic comes up often, so I thought I would give parents a heads up. There is a new Pediatrician at Merrimack Medical Center, and she's great! Dr. Fanburg. We saw...
Beth G. replied:
We just moved to Merrimack medical and have Dr Fanburg, she's amazing!
