Jenn A. replied:
Dr. Maureen for sure! My kids are older now but my niece's go to her and I have gone to a few apts there HIGHLY impressed!
Celeste A. replied:
Dr Skarvinko was just voted best pediatrician in Southington and Dr. Maureen was voted second best pediatrician in town. Either way you can't go wrong.
Christie B. replied:
I have three kids and LOVE Dr George (skarvinko). I've had nothing but great experiences!!! Now that my daughter is in her teens she prefers to see pa Angela who is AMAZING also! Best part...they don't believe in overprescribing medications!!!
Melissa M. replied:
Dr. Blumer saved my sons life. Its all about how you feel when you meet them.
Greg W. replied:

Southington Pediatrics on Main st across from Eden Ave, Dr. Skarvinko is awesome!!
Patricia T. replied:
Definetly Doc Skarvinko!
Kim F. replied:
Cheshire Pediatrics. They aren't in town but close by on Rt 10. They are so so great! Dr. Kinsella is ours but every single one in the practice is great!!!!
Jennifer K. replied:
Dr Maureen still wins. I just called her at 330 with a semi emergency... and I'm already home because if it s important to me, its important to her. She really cares about these kids
Sarah C. replied:
Dr. Maureen onyirimba is all that and more! She is seriously the best!
Katherine C. replied:
Dr. Maureen Onyirimba she is awesome. My granddaughters love her!!!!
Jennifer H. replied:
Dr Mark Peterson is great! I do not recommend Dr Blumer. Bad experience with him.
Kara C. replied:
Alpa Patel she's wonderful
Melissa M. replied:
Go meet some and decide which one you like. My Grandsons go to Dr. Maureen. Love her. Had a bad experience with Dr. Peterson.
Erica B. replied:
We switched to Pediatric Associates (Dr. Loomis) in Bristol from Dr. Friedman. I had some bad experiences with Dr. Friedman - both insanely long wait times, and just a personality mismatch. I love Dr. Loomis, and recently saw Dr. Schiff (Dr. Loomis was out), who I liked a lot, too.
Jennifer K. replied:
Dr Maureen all the way. She was our 3 rd ped and by far the best. So knowledgeable and amazing with the kids. She remember s everything, always calls back right away no matter what hour of the night. She even made a house call to one of my friend's babies
Elizabeth C. replied:
When my kids and I moved to town 7 years ago, my daughter (7 ish at the time) was afraid to go to sleep...for weeks. Dr. Maureen would literally get down on her level and talk to her face to face and tell her how she was afraid of swimming. She would set her goals and reward her when she accomplished them. LOVE DR MAUREEN!!!
Andrea D. replied:
Dr. Foster Phillips he's in New Britain but he is great with both my son and daughter
Amy G. replied:
Doc Maureen! Simply awesome!
Dina B. replied:
Dr. Maureen - simply the best!
Valerie R. replied:
I love Dr. George Skarvinko and his staff at Southington Pediatrics for many reasons...He was very reassuring and great with his visits after I had all three of my children. I won't deny that he is goofy but you have to be to deal with children all day especially when giving shots. All teens feel uncomfortable/awkward with men when going to the doctor. I did when I was young. My children love him and never cry when they get shots. He and his office always get right back to me when I call with questions....they are very family oriented and Dr. George and all of his staff are very knowledgeable and have been spot on with all diagnosis. I also want to say that they had no problem when I wanted to modify the timing of the vaccines given. I don't like them all at once so I spaced them out to my liking with each of my kids.
Valerie R. replied:
I had to go to Dr. Peterson when my son had an ear infection and he was on call for Dr. George on the weekend. He took a look in my son's ear and grabbed an ear wax tool that had visible chunks of dried wax on it. I had to stop him and have him clean it. I was so grossed out and will never go back. I did not feel comfortable there.
Jr F. replied:
Dr. Peterson best one!!!
Lauren M. replied:
Southington pediatrics - my son is almost 4 months old and has been seeing the PA Angela there - I love her!
Rebecca Jefferies is really good at Preferred Pediatrics. I will not let Dr. Blumer see my kids.
Lindsay B. replied:
Lifespring pediatrics - Dr Maureen Onyirimba is awesome. All her patients love her. Been taking my son since birth. I DO NOT recommend Dr. Friedman. For one she was accused of fraud before moving her practice to Southington. (Google it) She is one of the docs on call for Dr. Maureen. I took my son here once. Never again. So rude and her office is dirty IMHO. Just my opinion of course. Others may like her. My rec is Dr. Maureen. Plus her staff are so sweet! Good luck!
Sarah H. replied:
Dr. Maureen Onyirimba. She's the best!
Stefanie P. replied:
Dr Maureen Onyirimba located in Bradley hospital. When I was younger and dr maureen and dr skarvinko shared a practice I hated seeing skarvinko. He was weird and miss diagnosed me multiple times. I'm 17 and still love going to dr Maureen and staff. They have the friendliest office and she is always on call. Best dr I've ever had. So sad I'm gonna have to find a new one soon because I'll be 18. But highly recommend her!
Claire G. replied:
I have had all good experiences with Pediatric Associates. Dr Holland is my favorite. Their office is located right near ESPN: across from the double tree hotel

Maria N. replied:

Robin B. replied:
Karalyn Kinsella in Cheshire
Christina S. replied:
Dr. Maureen Onyrimbia definitely! Love her and the staff
Nikki S. replied:
I only wonder because I went there as well and I'm switching DRs now and I did not like Dr. Blumer at all. Also ur right they were not friendly at all and the offices are creepy
Lisa C. replied:
Dr Maureen Onyirimba. She is amazing. Jodi and Melissa are fantastic as well
Nancy M. replied:
George Skarvinko. Maureen Onyirimba is also very good.
Cathy M. replied:
Everyone loves Dr. Maureen but when I was looking for a new one a couple of years ago she wasn't taking new patients. I went with Dr. Alpa Patel and couldn't be happier!
Pamela M. replied:
We and our whole family and a good portion of our frind clans all see Dr Lamoureux at New Britain Pediatrics....they are all great there and my kids love him.

Shannon S. replied:
Personally, as a female, I had Dr. Scarvinko from birth-18 and he always creeped me out and made me dread going to the doctor.
Suzanne R. replied:
New Britain Pediatrics is the best!!! They are only accepting newborn patients though, so my children go to Southington Pediatrics. I like them too, the doctors are VERY friendly. Do NOT go to Personal Care Pediatrics in Apple Valley Plaza.
Kim S. replied:
Not in Southington, but Mary Simon M.D. in Farmington is excellent! I'm a nurse and there
Kim S. replied:
Many docs I wouldn't recommend, but Dr. Simon is top notch.
Ashley M. replied:
Dr. Peterson
Kim S. replied:
Mark Peterson is also great. 2 nd choice. Not as thorough as Dr. Simon in my opinion. Professionally or personally,.

Highly recommend Dr Maureen Onyirimba!

We use Dr Brierley in New Britain Pediatrics. Not in southington but I absolutely love her
Amy F. replied:
Southington pediatrics is awesome.. Both my kids go there ages 7 yrs and 6 mos. My 7 year old sees Dr George and actually looks forward to getting shots because he makes it funny for them. The nurse practitioners their are amazing too. I've never had a problem and they usually get me right in.
Sara E. replied:
Dr George skarvinko Southington peds
David M. replied:
Dr. Friedman across from the YMCA is good, but she is a one person shop and she almost never runs on time, although I suppose the same thing could be said about any doctor. Anyways she sees my kids and will be seeing my 3 rd kid come this June.
Amy C. replied:
I love Doctor Maureen. She's tough as she usually isn't taking new patients, but worth calling.
Mandee O. replied:
I love Dr. Maureen. She's fabulous with my almost 11 month old!
Les M. replied:

Krista P. replied:
Dr O Connor does not take new patients but Dr Liebler there is great too!
Pamela S. replied:
Dr. Angela Geddis PLV/NB Grove Hill Pediatrics. We've had her for almost 17 years now and she has been phenomenal. We've also had everyone else in the practice and they have been great.
Stacey D. replied:
Love Kensington/NB office of Grove Hill. Dr Rameriez is young, easy going and really good and my son likes him a lot. Plenty of on call doctors. Straight down Kensington Ave. Dr. Geddis is there as well. I think there is 9 Doctors in all in the practice.

Southington Pediatrics Dr. George and Dr. Angela are great that's where I went and now my kids go there.
Cheryl S. replied:
I love Southington Pediatrics. I have two sons, who love both the two female nurse practitioners and male doctors. Their attention to detail has blown me away. I have never had trouble getting same-day appointments. Good luck on your search!
Adrienne P. replied:
Pediatric Associates of Cheshire, O'Conner and Lieber are male, Kinsella and Herz are female
Jennifer P. replied:
pediatric medicine of wallingford, love them! So worth the drive. Always get my kids in in the same day and they will see them on saturday mornings or even sundays if needed. There are 5 doctors and are all good. I love Dr. Beitel over the other 4, but any of them are good.
Michelle C. replied:
I go to SmartStart Pediatrics in Glastonbury, have been for 14 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Cheshire Pediatrics is the BEST!! Male and female doctors. Love every one of them, especially Dr Kinsella

Pediatric Associates (Bristol/Southington line) . Excellent doctors. Yes sometimes a wait, but they have also stayed after hours and opened the practice for my sick children. I have been there almost 16 years.
Jessica L. replied:
Pediatric Associates. Great Dr's. Been taking my kids for 8 years. Wouldnt go anywhere else!
Paul B. replied:
Pediatric Associates: Outstanding availability and all of their doctors are great.

I second Dr. DiMauro's group... Cheshire Pediatriacs, We use Dr. Kinsella, LOVE her, they are all fantastic!
Susan B. replied:
Pediatric Associates in Bristol. Dr. Carolyn Clark is simply the best.
Danielle P. replied:
Pediatric Associates in Bristol. Right past ESPN. They are amazing and have female and male doctors. I've seen all the doctors in the practice (4) and I've loved all of them. They actually take the time to get to know you and your kids.
Debbie L. replied:
My kids go to Pediatric Associates also. They are very good. Sometimes long waits to be called in for your appointment but that probably happens most places.
Lisa O. replied:
I agree Carmela Gargano Avery since Dr O'Connor took over and Dr DiMauro retired ur right def treated like drive threw kind of glad my kids are almost ready for adult size dr
Melissa Z. replied:
I'm in the same boat. Dr Maureen isn't taking new patients, and new Britain isn't taking new patients unless they are babies I've been here for a year and still can't find one.
Salvatrice M. replied:
Dr Maureen located in Bradley hosp she is terrific
Pretty sure it's time for a new Pediatrician: Who do you go to and why do you live them? Hit me...I need names yesterday,thanks!
Jennifer C. replied:
Dr Greg Germain pediatric and medical assoc of new haven/ Cheshire. Blue bldg on Lanyon and rt 10. 203.271.1541. He is just the nicest guy, in 40's, great bedside manner and my boys love him! I have recommended him to so many people he tells me I built his practice. Bailey was the 1 st patient to sign up for him as a primary doctor.
Carrie N. replied:
Dr. Luis Alonso in Cheshire - he's great! Older so not sure if he will retire at some point but SO nice & kind, takes his time to talk to the kids.
Can anyone recommend a female pediatrician in town?
Stefanie M. replied:
Dr. Maureen Oniyrimba. Without a doubt
Mary B. replied:
Dr Patel in Plantsville....
Heather T. replied:
Dr Maureen all the way. She has helped me and my children so many times. Children love her. She talks to them like a dr should. Love staff too, Jodie & Melissa. Call and see if she might have room for new patients. You never know if people move, though when she moved to Windsor briefly i followed her there.
Amy L. replied:
Heather Thomas, me too!
Li M. replied:
Alpa Patel in Plantsville, shes great.
Debbie G. replied:
Dr Onyirumba. She is wonderful and truly a very caring person. She will go to lengths to keep you're child healthy and she's like a detective to find out what ail' s your child. She's done that twice for my granddaughter.
Susan B. replied:
If you are open to considering Bristol (by ESPN, so not too far), Dr. Carolyn Clark is great. She is with Pediatric Associates and the entire group is simply wonderful.
Christine L. replied:
Dr Maureen Absolutely ! Hands down !
David M. replied:
You can check but as of about a month ago Dr. Maureen is not taking any new patients. Dr. Friedman is good, but she's only one person, and the waiting times in her office are ATROCIOUS.
Tracy C. replied:
My kids have been with Dr Friedman across from the Y for many years...we've been happy and can get in when sick no problem....
Amy L. replied:
Dr. Maureen Onyirimba, my girls are 23 & 22 so no longer see her, but they LOVED her and my 12 yr old son still see's her. Small staff and she is closed Thursdays, but Melissa and Jodi make you fell like family!
Stephanie M. replied:
I second Dr Maureen but I think she is a closed practice....
Mary E. replied:
My kids see Dr Angela Geddis in Plainville...I think she's great, and so do they.

Francesca F. replied:

Katherine C. replied:
Dr. Onyrimba. She is awesome
Carolyn W. replied:
I would suggest Dr Norine Kanter part of New Britain Pediatric Group. I have a child with a non-threatining heart condition and his previous pediatrician had no clue every exam...she really made it a point to know each and every one of my kids (two teenagers and a 2 yr old). Also she called me after every emergency visit to the hospital to make sure everything was ok....she is awesome!!!
