Please recommend great pediatrician. One who takes time and knows how to communicate with kids not just follow the protocol and be done. Of course who is a great doctor...
Cinzia O. replied:
We use Dr. Greenes and love him... We've only seen him.... since my daughter only has well visits (knock on wood) But I do hear good things about Dedham Medical.
Judith S. replied:
It's possible Dr. Helm may be taking new patients. We've seen her several times now on emergency visits and she was excellent. Very caring, thorough and great communication. She's at Needham Pediatrics.
Meredith S. replied:
Dr Margaret Crawford at Framingham Pediatrics. Hands down best pediatrician ever. We used to live nearby and tried Needham Peds when we moved here but immediately went back to her because no one compares. Happy to drive 20 minutes there for her.

We love pretty much all of the doctors at Pediatrics at Newton Wellesley - ours is Dr Susan Reuter, but we like all the others as well. We've been using them for 16 years and have had excellent experiences.

Maria L. replied:
We really like Dr. Cecala at Needham Peds too! Really nice and good diagnostician. One of my kids has special needs too and she is good with her. I should say though, she is also expecting--believe she is due in May too--so will be on leave for part of the summer.
Laura H. replied:
We have Dr. Helm at Needham Pediatrics. She is fabulous. Both my daughter(16) and son(14) see her and they really like her. She is very personable and she takes her time - we never feel rushed through. I totally recommend her. She also has young children so she has that Mom perspective on many child aged nutrition and safety questions which we felt was important. (Our 1st Pediatrician left the practice, but had similar aged babies/ children when we joined) Also, we love everything about Needham Pediatrics - we have seen all of the doctors at one time or another for illnesses when Dr. Helm has not been available. The office is convenient with good parking the and hours go into the early evening and they are open on weekend mornings.
Jennifer P. replied:
Dr. Popa at Needham Pediatrics! She is fabulous !
Marina G. replied:
We don't like Needham pediatrics... very convenient location and that's why we picked it. The only doctor that we liked there was Dr. Popa but she refused to take my child.

Congrats on your baby! We have always had great experiences with Dedham Medical. My kids see Dr. Shusterman but have met many of the others, and they are excellent. And on occasion, the late night hours at the Norwood location have helped my sons!
Kelli S. replied:
We've been with Needham Pediatrics for 27 years and have received excellent care.i too could go on about how amazing Dr Popa is. I feel very fortunate to have her. Not sure she is taking new patients. And for me it's a big plus that she doesn't live in Needham This can be a very small town.
Juliann C. replied:
My experience with Needham Ped has been great. Never any difficulty getting an emergency appointment and they have always been very responsive to our needs. We see Dr. Popa and both of my children love her. We never feel rushed and she is very thorough and personally calls to follow up.
Kerry H. replied:
Dr. Cynthia Hadley at Dedham Medical is wonderful. Right on Needham line near St. Sebs (Lyons runs between 135 & Great Plain). Wonderful staff. Lab on site, xray on site, etc. After hours care. 24 hour emergency care in Norwood. https://www.atriushealth.org/clinicians/cynthia-hadley-5946
Allison B. replied:
Dr. Cecala is amazing! She is so personable, knowledgeable and thorough. Not only do I never feel rushed in appointments for my two girls, but I credit her for being the catalyst in discovering a major heart defect and heart disease in my baby, resulting in open heart surgery. Had she not been so cautious and complete, I swear we still would not know all these months later. I trust her completely. Love Dr. Cecala!!
Elizabeth S. replied:
We moved here last year, and we started with Needham Pediatrics. The only doctor taking new patients was Dr. Cecala. I was very pleased with her credentials, and we've seen her twice, and I have been very happy with her.

We love our doctors, Dr. King and Dr. Becker, 2 women who have their own practice are awesome in Wellesley (close to Volente, so not far).
Caera H. replied:
We see Dr Cecala and really like how she takes her time with my kids and is very thoughtful with diagnosis/testing. I have 3 young kids so we visit needham peds A LOT. Dr Cecala is expecting her first baby in May, so timing may not be ideal for you initially, but also once she's back from maternity I would think she would be great- going through all the same stuff that you'll be going through. Think she comes back in August.
Kimberly C. replied:
Dr.Cecala Needham pediatrics is our pediatrician and we think she is wonderful! She always calls home to check on your child and really cares.
