Pediatricians in Topeka, KS

I would never give my baby that much Benadryl on a daily basis. You were right to trust your instincts & do your own research. We also see Dr Cotter and love him.

A lot of very good Dr's at Pediatric Care (15 th and gage) we use Dr Randal Schumacher and LOVE him. He has a very good reputation.

I went to high school with Dr Schumacher (just Randy then:) ) and he is a warm, kind, intelligent person, with young kids of his own.

We go to Dr. Schumacher as well. Love him!

We see Dr Nelson at Pediatric Associates and really like her. No idea on her stand on Benadryl, though...

Another vote for Dr Nelson!! She's amazing!!!

Dr Pridgett 235-0335

Dr. Nelson is amazing!

the pharmacist told me they have to label it that way now for safety bc too many parents were abusing it or giving too much. But if the dr prescribes it its usually safe. I was always worried about that too tho.. its scary! I dont like giving my lil ones even tylenol unless i really need to. My kids go to Dr. Teresa Crowe on 6 th.. 785-235-0335. Ive only been there a few times but so far I like her and the nurses.

Benadryl can be very dangerous to children less than 25 lbs. I would get a second opinion. Michael Cotter is awesome but also really busy. He is super smart, great with explaining anything and everything, and great with kids. He is at PediatricCare at 15 th and Gage.

Pediatrics Associates on 6 th.

We love Dr Cabrillo at pediatric care on 29 th and Urish

We love Dr Kathleen Cain at Topeka Pediatrics on 29 th and Urish. She's great with my kiddos and so personable.

Murphy at cotton O'Neil clinic across from Stormont. Does family practice and I've had him since I was a new born and now my daughter goes to him!

Sara Nelson is awesome. Also love how they have walking clinics Sunday afternoon and Saturday you call in the morning they also get you in. They also call you back the same day if you call about your kid being sick.

Dr Heeb is through Partners in Pediatrics. She is great with my kids. Very thorough and so nice. Her nurses are all great, too.

Dr. VanSickle at pediatric associates on 6 th. He is awesome and great at his job.

Similar issues with Dr. Pridgette StephanieAnn !! When child gets sick she makes you feel crappy about it:( Not very helpful at all.

Dr. Cabrilo is awesome!

Dr. Randall Schumacher is our Pediatrician our baby is 3 months now and he is so GREAT with him and his staff are very helpful.

I used Dr Van Sickle is the greatest! My kids and grandkids go to him and can't wait for the next appt

Love, love, love Dr. Cain at Topeka Pediatrics!!!

Hands down Dr. Cotter is the best! He is very through respectful great with babies/children and always makes sure I understand whats going on! I was VERY paranoid and picky about my son's childcare and I was more than pleased with LaPetite's staff and system!

Dr. Heeb is amazing

Dr. Heeb is the best in town.

Marilyn Lively is someone I recommend to watch your child. My son liked her.

Dr Cain tried to put my 2 year old brother on a diet because he was in the 95 th percentile.... Ridiculous. Also had bad experience with Dr Pridgett trying to tell me my daughter was malnourished and threatened to call cps for neglect. When I said that ...See More

Dr. Parr has been great. And I would probably be available to babysit...so hard to say since that's a few months away. I have a 4 month old son and currently babysit my 3 month old cousin. I have plenty of references that you may contact.

Sorry,@Lydia Bergman, I was off-line for a while. Here is a consensus for Dr. Heeb: http://www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Camille_Heeb.html

My son really liked Dr Cooley

We have three kids, aged 15, 11 and 11 months. They all see Dr. Heeb. She was the most recommended pediatrist in the Topeka area when we moved here three years ago. We have never had a problem with her, whether it was scheduling appointments or coming in when we didn't have an appointment. She answers her phone on the weekends! She always calls you back, and she has 31 years experience. She is still top recommended.

Dr. Vansickle at pediatic associates off 6 th by gage. I could watch the baby. I have three boys 8,6,and almost 2.

Dr. Schumacher at pediatric care 15 th and gage!!!!!

Dr Sarah Nelson at pediatric associates!

I would also recommend Dr. Cotter at 15 th and Gage. He is the best pediatrician my children have had by far!! We were with one previously mentioned doc for a year and left very dissatisfied. We then went to another previously mentioned doc for 4 years ...See More

Jodi Scott same with my 15 y/o niece, she has never felt uncomfortable! She has a pretty serious heart condition that requires her to carry a defibrillator with her everywhere, and Dr Cotter has been amazing. He made sure to provide the family with information and resources needed to properly take care of her!

John, Who is Dr. Heeb thru? I am looking for a new pediatrician as I am not fond of Dr. Pridgette .

Dr Randall Schumacher. He's so awesome and through. I love his bedside manner and encouragement.

Randy Schumacher at Pediatric Care

Dr. Schumacher at PediatricCare

Dr. Parr with PediatriCare!!! We love him and he has amazing nurses.

We go to Pediatric Care (Dr. Nelson). They do have a website:)

Ooops, not Pediatric Care, but Pediatric Associates. Sorry!

I use Dr. Crowe at pediatrics associates and she is awesome

Another vote for Dr. Nelson at Ped Associates... Everyone there has been amazing!!

Dr Cain at Topeka Pediatrics

We see Dr. Cotter at PediactriCare. He is very highly recommended by patients, the hospital and has won the TARC medical award.

Went to school with schumacher, he is great and new to the practice. We see Dr. Cotter

I just started taking my daughter to Dr. Schumacher and loved him so far.

We love Dr Schumacher too!

Dr Cooley with pediatrician associates!!!!!!!!!!!! All the way.. Secondary would be dr Sarah Nelson same office

Dr Cooley is great! He was my pediatrician growing up buy he's not taking new patients. He's slowly getting close to retirement.

Pediatric Associates in Manhattan... Dr. Klingler or Dr. Syrk Dnt think I spelled that one right but they are pretty awesome.. Klingler has been with both of mine since birth but if she's not their I see the other one...if they think tests should be ran they do it, they won't send you home saying nothings wrong...& they are both sweet!!

Dr Serk in manhattan.

Dr. Duff at Pediatrics Associates in Manhattan is amazing!!

My daughter in Manhattan loves Dr Duff for her 4 kiddos!

Dr Serk is Tucker's doctor. We love her!

We go to Dr. Knopp at Stonecreek Family Physicians and love him!!

Dr Dove or Dr Serk.

Pediatric Associates is awesome! I loved it when Lane was going there. All of the docs are great.

Pediatric Associates (785) 235-0335. I have heard good things about the doctors!! Hopefully one of them are accepting new patients!!

My girls go to Dr. Crowe! But they have other pediatricians in the same building!! I cant remember what their called!! That's horrible!! I can send you their number!!

Dr. Cordova is leaving??! What, why, when??!!

I hate to hear that for Dr. Cordova's patients, she is an amazing doctor and I miss her and that practice so much. However, I am glad that she is able to find something what works for her and her family! Good luck in finding a new physician, we had iss...See More

Dr Vansickle at pediatric associates is good.

Tara pridgett!! Hands down! I wish I could have brought her with me! She is the best best best! 2350335

Dr. Saylor was the pediatrician for the 3 orangs that were hand raised at Topeka Zoo in the late 1980's / early 90's. GREAT man. And yes, they had a human pediatrician for their first years...same shots, same teething issues, same stuff! The zoo vet wasn't that specialized and other zoos recommended a human pediatrician for them, as they had done.

I love the bench! He was really special. Being a nervous young mother, Dr. Saylor put my fears to rest. He was a wonderful doctor to my children (and me)

The 5 in my family had Dr. Saylor and my kids had his fiance Dr. Heeb. How's that for ironic?

Oh wow! I had no idea Dr Saylor died.....out of touch here......I know we saw him for a while when we were kids.....before that, we saw Dr Green...

In the 1950 s, I think it was Dr. Crouch who made house calls to our home. I had to be enticed out of hiding by him blowing up balloon animals.

Elizabeth - my kids go to Dr. Heeb nowadays. I think she started at that same office as Dr. Saylor when I was a kid

Dr. Saylor was mine, and my daughters. She was born at 28 weeks and was a tiny preemie. He was so wonderful working with Dr. G in the NICU. Dr. Parr took over her care after he passed. Such a wonder family of physicians, Ed, Mark, Steve and their father, Leslie.

Loved Dr. Saylor!

Mark, Ed & Steve were all wonderful doctors as well as their father. I have used them all with no regrets. Wonderful family!

I worked for Drs Cherry, Ramsey and Kreibel and Dr. Leslie Saylor was a surgeon and the father of the other Dr. Saylors.

I saw both Dr. Saylor and Dr. Cherry as a kid

^ Joyce Freestone Dr. Cherry was also in with Dr. Saylor. I worked for them fresh out of h.s. in the fall of 1982-1983.

CW Bowen....

As a young parent I took a list of questions I wanted to ask Dr Saylor. I was expecting to ask the questions but he just took the list and started answering them. I told him I probably didn't spell things very well and he said "no problem we will figure them out". So thankful for a great doctor.: }

Dr. Saylor attended my son's birth, an emergency C-section, as he was on-call that night. I barely remember him coming into my room to let me know even though my son was breathing a little too fast, he was OK. I was so grateful for his kindness and assurance during a really terrible delivery. I wanted to meet him and thank him properly when I recovered, but he passed away shortly after.

Dr Cherry was my regular doctor - and even once or twice my daughter's doctor just before he retired, but he was always a little scary to me.. Dr Saylor was less intimidating!

Mark and Ed Saylor were both doctors as was their father

I had Dr. Beck.

Both of my children were patients of Dr Ed Saylor. He was the best!

I had Dr. Cherry for my kids. He just didn't have much of a personality. Saylor would have been much better.

I had Dr. Ramsey and then Dr. Saylor and Dr. Saylor was my kids'. Sure do miss him!!

I had Dr. Warren Roberts. I miss him.

Ed Saylor was the pediatrician, his brother Steve was a GP, he delivered my daughter. Recently retired.

I had Dr. Crouch. He could talk just like Donald Duck. He called me little George after my Dad ( even though I was a girl ) Dad said kids loved him but not mothers. He apparently didn't have much patience for mothers.

He was my daughters doctor. I really liked him! He was a good dr. I could not stand Dr Crouch!! Annoying!!

I remember being really upset once because I had to see Dr. Cherry instead. Not because I didn't like him, just because I was sick and they said Dr. Saylor was home sick also.

Wow that surprises me Dr. Herb was Toni and Donald dr for years. Wish I knew someone for ya. Good luck hon

We use Pediatric Associates & love them. We use Dr. Nichols but he isn't taking new patients. Sucks for you.

I go to pediatric and associates, Dr Cooley, he's really good, my kids have had him since birth

Dude. We take our son to Topeka Pediatrics to Dr Cain. She is Awesome. They have walk in hours everyday. They have after hours call in and more often than not Dr Cain herself calls you back They really are for the the kids they have. And you know the issues our son had she came HIGHLY recommended.

Just in case you needed one more person to say it... Pediatric Associates we see Dr.Nichols and my sis-in-law is a nurse there.

First, I used to see Dr.Heeb as a child. Second, Birdie had chronic cough for months (kept her up at night) and we had the same battles. Doctos gave her meds, steroids, an inhaler, blamed mold in the school, called it allergies...in the end it was acid reflux. Most people don't realize it's like the second highest reason for a continuous cough in kids. Slight change of diet and occasional pill for flare ups. We had to see a allergist and he suggested it right off the bat. Might be worth asking whoever you do take her to. Good luck!!!

Dr. Norzian pediatric associate. Looks at everything with a fine tooth comb.

Jerry Hill I haven't seen our Dr on this list but he is with ped care as well, Dr.Thomas Moscow. He is very attentive sometimes comes across brash bc he wants ALL the info but he always says, "you are their Mom, you know them best" which always makes me feel better. He is silly with the kiddos, they really like him. You will run into our problem eventually when little Miss gets bigger he isn't comfortable doing the full exams so you will eventually have to switch to a female but he is not scared to prescribe meds either. We have had the same cough for months and when we were there we left with a nebulizer, antibiotics and nasal spray to cover all the bases. Good luck!

Pediatric Associates does. We love them the APRNs do seem to juggle a bit but Caleb sees my pediatrician Dr. VanSickle. They have walk-ins from 7:30 or 7:45 until 8 or 8:30. They always have a nurse on call & walk-ins on Saturdays & maybe Sundays. I am an RN so I am pretty tough to please. I hate to play Devils advocate but this upper respiratory stuff that is going around is hanging for like 6 weeks & if they listen to her lungs & she isn't wheezing & they are clear it really, usually has to run is course & the ABT resistance is getting so out of control docs have to say no more. All of that being said, most of the time the best diagnosis/feelings that something isn't right comes from the parent. If you think it is more you are TOTALLY doing he right thing & are being a GREAT advocate for your daughter! Go Dad!!!!

Pediatric Associates is sounding like a good choice. Rj, I was hoping that this cough would go away thinking it was related to her allergies but it's not. That's why I need her to get some medicine for it. I don't know why they didn't address the issue when I was there last week when her ear was hurting her. The antibiotics for her ear worked great but when she coughs so much that she isn't sleeping good, that bothers me.

Pediatric associates is wonderful. I will never take my kids anywhere else and we have dr. Sarah Nelson. She is the absolute best. I have heard good things about Cooley too and we have seen him a couple of times during the walkin in clinic. It is an amazing group of dr.s with dedicated nurses.

Dr. Cooley always knows exactly what the problem is when we are there for the walk in clinic. He is thorough, and so is Nelson. I say one of those two and ur golden.

Dr Herb? Sheri we live in Kansas not Colorado. Lol

We use Dr. Salmanzadeh at 15 th and gage. Behind family video. She is excellent and knowledgeable and has superb bedside manner.

Donald, Dr Heeb is really old too. I kinda wanted someone younger that she can see for a while. Who knows how long Dr Heeb will be around? Lol

Dr Cabrillo at cotton o'neil on 29 th in urish

Dr Cain on 29 th and Irish is absolutely wonderful open on weekends as well

Dr Nichols at pediatric associates is awesome.

I agree^...Dr. Cain is great

I think its subjective bc Dr Nichols missed sleep apnea in my then 2 yr old daughter even tho we saw him 3 times a month for the iss

Dr Nelson at pediatric associates.

Dr. Cain wasn't helping us out much.... always had new nurse practitioners everytime we went for Zayne. He has health issues so it was very frustrating explaining his stuff everytime we had an appt. I only saw Dr. Cain if he was in the hospital, which was terrible since they didn't listen and I think one time after that. Needless to say its not like that for everyone, and she's not a bad dr but for lil Zayne I had to get someone who would continuously see him instead of diff people each time. But for the other two kids she was great. We now go to Dr. Schumacher (sp?) Behind Family Video off Gage. And he's awesome, I always see him when we have our appts, he also keeps up so well with Children's Mercy and what goes on there. We are actually getting somewhere now which is a wonderful feeling!

No way Dr Helen is her doc she is a great doc she was my doc when I was little

Dr. Cooley, pediatric associates

I've heard good things about Pediatric Associates before on 6 th St right?

Dr Cooley is the best!

I'm going to look into Pediatric Associates

We take our son to Pediatric Associates. Specifically, he sees Dr. Cooley...but he's seen a lot of the others who practice there for various reasons, and they have always been wonderful.

We are at Pediatric Associates as well and we see Dr. Crowe. She is wonderful!!

Dr. Schumacher is great. Very breast feeding friendly

Pediatric Care Dr Schumacher is seriously the most amazing doctor ever! Very personable and patient, listens to the parents too.

Definitely recommend dr Schumacher at Pediatric Care.

Dr. Cooley is who I have for my son

I 4 th Dr. Schumacher. He is amazing. Both from him being our doctor and being a nurse that works with him.

I 5 th dr. Schumacher. He is amazing with my daughter. Listens and cares.:)

Dr. cain with First Pediatrics.

Pediatric Associates with Dr. Sara Nelson. She is an awesome doctor. All the doctors at Pediatric Associates and their PA's are great!

Pediatric Associates. We have Dr. Gramma. Love her. But sounds like all the doctors there are great.

We see (and love) Dr. Schumacher as well!!

Molly Gordon- I was once breastfeeding the baby in the exam room when Dr. Schumacher walked in. He didn't even bat an eye. He asked if I needed a minute or if I wanted to go over paperwork. I chose paperwork and we just continued on. We really do love his practice!

Dr. Cotter is great!

Another vote for Dr. Schumacher!

We are at pediatric associate and see Dr. Pridget she great

Our 2 year old sees Dr. Nichols at Pediatric Associates. He is awesome! I also went there when I was a child if that tells you anything. All of the doctors in the office are fantastic.

Anyone with Pediatric Care 29 th and Urish or 15 th and Gage.

Dr Gibson is great, but he is a family practitioner, not specifically a pediatrician my husband sees him.

Dr Cooley is great. He is at Pediatric Associates close to 6 th and mcvicar.

Dr Schumacher at Pediatric Care. Behind the video store on Gage. About 15 th St, I think?

Dr Cooley is a very good doc as our kids had him. Ask him directly if you want to change and he will give you a few good names.

I would recommend anyone in the Peds. Associates group. They are all wonderful!

We use Michael Cotter, wonderful, especially if you like even the little things being looked at, he's extremely thorough.

We take Lauren to Mission Woods off Urish where our doctor is. Dr Conley. She is young and we like her a lot.

We have Dr. Harader at mission woods. She is family practice, but she is my doctor too and we love her. She is absolutely great with Cora and get her in whenever we need her. She never brushes things off that we are concerned about and everyone in that office is so friendly.

We have dr Sara Nelson from pediatrics associates and we absolutely love her! We had Dr Heeb for 3 months when Jocelyn was a baby, avoid her. I think she used to be really good but not so much anymore.

I use Dr. Cotter at pediatric care on 15 th and gage

We use Sara Nelson there and we love her!!

Dr. Cotter is good but so is Dr. Cooley.

Dr. Reynolds.

I also like pediatric associates. We see Dr Vansickle. I also like that they are open in the mornings on the weekends in case you need them.

I work on the Peds floor at St.Francis. Dr. Cooley all the way!

Pediatric Associates! My madre is a nurse practitioner there! The doctors are great!

I don't go to Dr Nichols but I have heard good things about him.

David Nichols at Pediatric Associates!

We use Dr. Cotter at Pediatric Care.

Vansickle at Peds associates. He is so loving toward the kids. He has that kid gene where he is just a natural with them. He is patient. Thorough. Well read in research. I knew he was good but it wasn't until I moved to STJ and had to find a new doctor did I realize what a great doc he is.

Dr Cotter is fabulous!

Nichols has been our at Pediatric Associates since we moved here. And the NP's are wonderful as well. Now that the girls are all grown-up-ish, they always see the NP's, which are female. Nichols is wonderful, though, and the docs he has had to refer us to when we've needed specialists have also been top.

Dan Reynolds is who I took my kids too when they were little... he was awesome!!!!! idk who he practices with anynore

Dr Shumacher is great

I go to Dr Nichols at pediatric associates for Brodie

Greggory VanSickel is Awesome, but IDK if he's@the same place you're talking about?!

Dr Nichols was great. I just didn't like the rest of his office

Dr Nichols with pediatric associates!!! He fought with me for a year to get baileys diagnosis....he has even met me at 730 pm with sample meds when we couldn't get our insurance straightened out....He really cares and all my kids love him!

We love Dr. Parr!

Dr. Cotter at Pediatricare 15 th and Gage is good.

We like Lexow at Cotton O'Neil at 8 th and Mulvane.

I, a certified doctor phobe, love my doctor. He practices at Optimum Family Health and his name is Dr. Gibson. I like the rest of the staff, but Dr. Gibson is my favorite. He's really down to earth, takes in the whole picture, and isn't afraid to admit...See More

Dr. Iliff@Fleming Place (10 th & Gage).

Ditto Amelia. Dr. Iliff has been my doc since 5 th grade and my parents were among his first patients. Love him.

Dr. Iliff is also my doctor.

Dr. Cabrillo. She is absolutely amazing! Really thorough, really friendly, and my son loves her.

Dr. Cotter! We had not had much luck with my sons previous dr and he was TERRIFIED of the dr office! He would scream when we pulled in until we left. We switched to dr cotter and he was patient and my son loves him! He's very thorough and listens to all your concerns. Now my son LOVES the dr!

We go to Dr. Cotter at PediatricCare.. He is awesome, he does not resort to medication for everything and he tries to figure out the problem rather than just medicate. He is all around a great guy and has 5 kids of his own. Awesome Doctor

I take all of my children to Pediatric Associates on 6 th and frazier. They are great. My kids see Dr. Grammatikopoulou (everyone calls her Dr. Gramma for short)her nurses are just as great. My newborn daughter has had several issues since born and they have been more than accommodating with that. They also have after hours call line for any questions or concerns. You leave a message and a nurse will usually call you back within minutes.

Pediatric associates. They always get me right in and I never have to wait. We use Dr. Nelson. She is great!
