Michelle O. replied:
Dr. Singh of Bayshore Pediatrics! He has a wonderful bedside manner, thoroughly explains everything and he puts his patients at ease.
Sarah M. replied:
Dr. Silpa and her staff are extremely knowledgable and great with kids.
Heidi B. replied:
Dr. Baig - South River Pediatrics
Kathy R. replied:
We love Dr.Silpa, she is very sweet and compassionate. My daughter has a hard time with having her blood pressure taken. She takes time to comfort her and put her at ease. She discovered that she does better with the manual machine. Also Jo ann Serafini the PA is great. I drive ftom Upper Marlboro to this office. So worth it. Also the are by Calvert Hospital.
Marsha H. replied:
Dr. Singh or Dr. Chiu at Bayshore. Phone number is 410-535-5959.
Marie B. replied:
Jacklyn Tomasko we see Dr. Chiu at Bayshore and I really like her and her office. The staff is great, appointments are easy to get, and you never wait.
Victoria C. replied:
I also vote for Bayshore. Dr. Chiu is very nice AND she knows how to make balloon animals! Was quite a surprise the first time my son went there and had to get shots.

Jacklyn Tomasko we use Bayshore Pediatrics and LOVE them! All 4 doctors are awesome!! We have been going to them since Dalyce was born 9 yrs ago!!!
MaryEllen H. replied:
Dr. Silpa when my daughter would get her shots all she wanted was Dr. Silpa to hold her.
Jaclyn M. replied:
Agreed Bay Shore Pediatrics has the best run office, staff, and doctors. We've been taking our kids there the last 8 years and only have had great experiences (esp. since they expanded the office) however even then the small office was worth the wonderful care:-)

Dr. Mehta ` he was our pediatrician for 2 years and we loved him! Tyler had a few medical issues and he handles them with great expertise... http://www.calverthospital.org/body.cfm?id=686&action=detail&ref=263

Sarah I. replied:
Dr Silpa! She sent me to a cardiologist when my daughter was only hrs old dr Silpa made me a cardiologist appointment for her. Come to find out all the other drs thought my daughter had a heart murmur but she really had a heart condition needing surgery And dr Silpa caught it... She's great and doesn't miss anything!
is on the lookout for a new pediatrician. anyone have any suggestions in calvert or charles?
Tina P. replied:
Amanda, take her to anyone other than Mehta...I wouldnt take my pups to him, let alone my kids..I could share a couple of horror stories about that man that would make your head spin .Mine are old enough now that I dont need a pediatric anymore, but family uses Dr Singh here in the county.410-535-5959... good luck!

Dr Silpa!
Danielle M. replied:
I take Gregory to Dr Roula Hawitt, she's in Dunkirk, might be a little far for you, her dad has an office in Huntingtown, they are both great!
Ashlynn L. replied:
Dr. Machemer in Waldorf. I drive an hour to take my girls to her. She is really great.
Jordan R. replied:
Dr. Hawitt... Both father and daughter... I love him and his staff in huntingtown
Anne H. replied:
My kids see Dr. Singh, between the two they've had allergies, liver problems, viruses, strep, seizure, concussion... my kids excel in random ailments. No matter what he always takes care of them, and makes sure they are back to normal as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
Ashley S. replied:
Dr. Silpa my brother and i went there until we were in high school and my younger cousins go to her now
Ashley B. replied:
I take Alaina to Dr. Sipla. I heard Dr. Mehta tries to say everything is a viral infection. I like Dr. Sipla's office and she's right in Huntingtown. I use to go to Dr. Raja Hawit when I was a kid. I don't know if he still practices though. Also huntingtown! Good luck!
Ashley B. replied:
Oh, Nikki Randall reminded me, lol. I would have chosen Bayshore (I think that's what the office for Skolnick & Singh is called) but at the time they weren't taking new patients with her insurance.
Stephanie M. replied:
We use Dr Sait and Chhabra in Waldorf. There are a total of 4 doctors there. I would see any 3 of the 4. Dr. Meena is our favorite. Cole has had many issues and they have helped us along the way with no Problems. Referrals for specialists have been great too.
Ashley W. replied:
I know you see Dr. Mehta, but have you ever made an appointment with Dr. Sharma? The girls there know that I won't see Dr. Mehta bc of what happened with Eddie in the past buy I have had very good experiences with Dr. Sharma. Dr. Mehta was the one that told me blood in Eddie's urine was normal. Dr. Sharma sent us to Children's!! Otherwise, my sister uses Dr. Hawitt and loves him.
Christy B. replied:
I love Dr. Crystal Brown she is in Waldorf and in Leonardtown
Heather S. replied:
We see Sait and Chhabra in Waldorf. We always get same day appt's and they have Sat. morning hours too. Jordyn loves Dr. Meena! John went there when he was little too!

Looking for recommendations for a primary care dr and pediatrician! Thanks!
Martha C. replied:
Dr. Juambeltz in the Howlin Bldg. in Dunkirk. He and his wife are wonderful peds dentists! I used to work with them. Really nice practice.
Rick H. replied:
Bayshore pediatrics is the best. They always have a doctor on call 24 hrs a day. So you can always speak to one if needed. Plus they have daily walk-in hours so no appointments needed for sudden illnesses.
Alison B. replied:
Bayshore pediatrics all the way - Dr B and Dr Singh! Deborah Brower, CRNP, is fantastic!
Jessica R. replied:
I personally love Dr. Mehta in Prince Frederick (Pediatrician).
Stephanie R. replied:
Dr. Joyce Owens is a WONDERFUL general practitioner.

Bayshore Pediatrics!!
Sarah L. replied:
Dr. Singh at Bayshore is the best. Tell him the Livelys sent you if you decide to go. You can schedule an interview with him. I did that.
Kristina M. replied:
I think they are next to Calvert Hospital.
Kristina M. replied:
I go to the hospital a lot. Thought I saw them. I will be there next week. Baby is getting his tubes redone and getting his adenoids out. I love Calvert Hospital and his ENT is great!
Cari P. replied:
