Dr. Goodall at Westdale Pediatrics (UnityPoint) has been good to us and our 6 mo.

Lianne Farley unity point We chose her because she was the doctor who came in after our son was born, we tried to pick one out before hand and couldn’t pull the trigger. We got lucky because she’s great, especially for first time parents. She’s great with our now almost three year old, she has kids and never makes us feel dumb. Mostly she just makes us and our son really comfortable!

I have a 3YO and a 7 YO and when we moved to CR last June, we went with Dr. Jessica Konarske per a recommendation. She has been great for our family! She does family medicine, so I'm not sure her experience with newborns and babies. Might be worth a call!

Dr. Tracy Alshouse has been my doctor since I was a little one and I've had great experiences and referrals through her.

Dr. Cross... he's actually in Morton but we LOOOOOVE him!!!!! Dr. Beaty is super awesome too but he is packed with patients and it always hard to get in to see him!
Emily S. replied:
Christy Oliphant at the OSF center for Health on Rt 91 (by Grand Prairie) is Maddie's and she is amazing. I also recommend Dr. Ho (if you prefer a male doctor) there.

Kriss C. replied:
Thank you everyone... Dr. Neese isn't taking new clients. Tried Ryan Walsh but he didn't have a new client appt until October and didn't have a good interaction with the woman who answered the phone. I was able to get in with Dr. Ismael so it looks like we have a winner!
Matt R. replied:
Dr. Terry Ho.
Christina H. replied:
We go to Methodist on Allen Rd...We have Dr Halperin for well child check ups but see others there when we are sick...kids like it there.

Kelly M. replied:
We use Ryan Walsh in the Allen rd bldg. he is family practice so we all see the same doc. He is young and the boys like him bc they think he is cool. Very laid back and great with the kiddos.
Megan L. replied:
Dr. Heather McLauchlan. They are part of Children's hospital, but when we had Methodist insurance her office was on it. I love her and their office us great and very helpful. If he needs to be seen they have always gotten him in that day. Name of practice is University Pediatrics. The only drawback is their parking lots sucks.
Misty E. replied:
Dr Ishmall at Methodist on Allen road she is awesome
My kids had a great pediatrician in Peoria (Dr. Halperin) but now that they're teenagers and we've moved to Morton, I'd like to find a local Family Practice type of...

Danielle B. replied:
OSF Morton Peds. All of the doctors there are wonderful!
Nicole F. replied:
I see Dr. Knight at OSF in Morton. He has a nickname for me, and I adore him. He is very thorough and cares deeply for his patients. He is in the family practice section. He is wonderful!!!
Jessica D. replied:
Dr. Knight is a pediatrician and he is great! However, he is out on medical leave for a while and not sure how long.
Kim W. replied:
Dr. Takata Rossi is terrific, & she's a woman

Jessica D. replied:
Any Family Med doc in OSF Medical Group Morton. Yes, there are Pediatricians too but if you want a doctor they can stick with their Family Med docs and nurse practitioners are all great. Dr. Johnson, Dr. Tonozzi, Dr. Beratio, Dr. Link etc.

Peoria Moms: Any recommendation on a Pediatrician?
Rachel D. replied:
Heather MacLauclan is who we go to. She is with University Pediatrics.
Jeanine W. replied:
We are happy at Methodist Pediatrics. I've been to several doctors there besides our primary and liked them all except Williamsen-Reid.
Marie M. replied:
We go to Methodist on Allen. Lots of people recommend Dr. Ishmael there. That's not who we see, but I wouldn't really recommend who we see.
Rachel D. replied:
Who does your insurance make you go to? That will narrow some of this down for you. Dr. MacLauchlan is an OSF group doctor.
Courtney K. replied:
Methodist on Allen! We see Dr. Sureka but Dr. Kris is great too!
Jamie H. replied:
Dr craig Higgs. He is Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, so he can see you, Bob, and the baby. He's board certified in both areas, actually rounds on his patients in the hospital, and is patient and very kind in the office. He was reccomended to me by several pediatric resident friends of mine at OSF and they were totally right. We love him:)
Alright District 150/Peoria friends, I feel we need a new pediatrician. Our doctor is great but the ladder to get to her is horrid. Takes 15 minutes minimum for anyone...
Marie L. replied:
Which office are you opposed to....Erin uses Willemsen Reid at Methodist on Allen. My girls also see her.
Emily W. replied:
We see Dr. Beaty in Morton and LOVE him. But if you want to stay in peoria, I know any of the OSF peds offices are pretty good. Good luck!:)
Lindsay D. replied:
Dr. Heather McCarthy at Cardinal Medical Group has been Noah's doc for years & is very reliable.
Peoria area mommies and daddies.... Who do you recommend for a pediatrician in Peoria? And why? I HATE waiting for a long time for appointments, so suggestions on who...
Ciera C. replied:
Dr. Scott carlson is who we have he is amazing and I have nevet waited. He is primarily in washington but he does have an office in Peoria too I just don't know wherr lol
Ciera C. replied:
And Dr. Sureka who Ian and Karen use was my pediatrician when I was younger she is wonderful. You will find someone you love I promise. Its frustrating and stressful now but enjoy every moment of this... priceless memories!!!
Emily S. replied:
Dr. Oliphant is wonderful!
Ashlee N. replied:
Luan and Birkholz. They are husband and wife and are Christians.
Emily S. replied:
Dr Luan delivered maddie. He's a wonderful doctor.
