Hi friends. Who has pediatrician recommendations in the Portland area?
Wendy N. replied:
Christine Bennett at Intermed in Portland has been the pediatrician for 8 of my 9 nieces... she is great
Bethany N. replied:
Intermed is great. Kelsey sees Dr. Peterson in Yarmouth. Absolutely love him.
Melanie B. replied:
I second Dr. Bennett! She is my niece's pediatrician as well as a good friend of my grandmothers!

Dr. Brian Youth
Jasmine H. replied:
I'm not a parent (yet!), but in med school I spent several weeks working with Dr. Youth at MMP Westbrook, and he is the most amazing pediatrician you'll ever meet.
Michelle P. replied:
Bayview Pediatrics in Yarmouth - it's a privately owned practice. Lillian goes to Dr. Jen Power and we love her. If you'd prefer a guy for Rex, Dr. Chris in the office is fantastic - we saw him once when Lillian was sick and he was great with her.
Need to pick a pediatrician today...Intermed or Portland Pediatric associates?? Anyone have any feedback?
Windy S. replied:
We have Dr. Tenenbaum at Intermed and he's been great so far. We also met Dr. Foster in the hospital and he seemed really nice too.
Kirsten M. replied:
I use Dr. Brian Youth not sure if he is taking patients but he is wonderful I have recommended him before and got the same feedback. He is at Westbrook Pediatrics. He also runs the newborn nursery at mmc and the residency program for peds.
Claire J. replied:
I use Dr Girard at westbrook ped. They are all really nice
Kirsten M. replied:
The Maine Med group has weekend clinics also in South Portland
Kirsten M. replied:
Sorry to be confusing I was not aware that Maine Med owned intermed also. It owns all the practices associated with Greater Portland Pediatrics.
Lisa V. replied:
We use Dr. Zamboni at Intermed as do several other friends of ours...nothing but good things to say about her and the other folks over there!
Angie H. replied:
Both are great I hear, but I would have to say Intermed. Madi's doctor is Dr Lynch and we LOVE him. The entire staff is great. We went in and met him and Dr Foster a couple weeks beforehand. Good luck!
Nicole F. replied:
Intermed. I have Dr foster and he is wonderful. Dr. Lunch is great too!
Diane R. replied:
Portland Ped Assoc has a good rep in the nursing world:)
Anyone have a pediatrician at Maine Medical Partners
Pediatrics they love and would recommend? I LOVE our pediatrician but with new insurance at work I may have to...
Steve D. replied:
Dr Stephen Blumenthal is the BEST. Or Dr Beautiful, as Lydia used to call him. He truly is awesome.
Ashley C. replied:
I love dr. Ho in Westbrook but she is there only three days. I have never had a problem getting in for sick visits tho. We also love dr. Youth and Dr. Girard in Westbrook. The flow of thw office and triage of calls sucks tho. Dr. Emery I think is usually in Falmouth and also a GREAT PEDS dr. ! Hope this helps
Jessica B. replied:
We have Dr Osbourne he is good he was actually nick and ryans pediatrician too
Amanda C. replied:
We love Dr. Girard and have seen Dr. Ho on call and really liked her too. Personally, I give Dr. Blumenthal a big I found him to very old school and "by the book" but some people love him.
Amanda C. replied:
Dr. Youth is also AWESOME! Both Geoff and his brother used to see him and he was the ped who was on call when Louis was born.
