Rosie V. replied:
DR. Grandra in Chesterton, good doctor, good staff and I love that when you need to go see him you can always go in the same day. Had him since 2004 and all my family from Lake Station goes to him too.
Jennie H. replied:
That's funny. Both my cousin and I take our kids there at Assoc. Peds. Absolutely love Dr.Brogan & Dr.Cambell but we both will refuse to see Bishop, her bedside manner sucks & she is rude. I don't know how she got into pediatrics but she isn't cut out for working with kids.
Diane R. replied:
Associated Peds, Dr Brogan!
Lori P. replied:
Dr. Stephanie bryant is a family doctor or i heard ppl like marc connley right next door..
Tracy M. replied:
Dr. Miller is good, he is in with Associated Peds
Carrie P. replied:
He is the only one I will see...they are all great from what i hear, but to me Dr Bukata is the best! Glad she got them in
Monica C. replied:
I know you said in valpo but mine is in Merrillville her name is Dr. Hazah and she the best
Kelly L. replied:
While I was happy with Associated Peds for 6 years, My daughter most recently started showing signs of a peanut allergy and instead of testing for it, they suggested that I give her peanut butter and see what happens. If you know anything about allergies at all, this could have sent her into shock and killed her. I will never step foot in that office again. Just my opinion
Ashley F. replied:
Dr. Lin is awesome. Off of Laporte Ave across from target.
Jennie H. replied:
I take my kids to Associated Peds in Valpo off of Calumet Ave. they are the best !
Carrie P. replied:
Associated Ped's hands down...Dr Bukata is amazing!
Valerie K. replied:
She's in Munster but great Dr. Tumacder! We live in Valpo and drive back to Munster.
Leann O. replied:
Dr. Ludwig is the best!!
Karen T. replied:
Dr. Ailes here in Valpo. He is a family doctor/general practitioner, but has seen all 3 of my boys and my whole family.
Valerie L. replied:
I have also heard real good things about Dr. Ailes.... My sister-in-law really likes him for her children and got in fairly quickly when they needed a new pediatrician
Ann J. replied:
Dr. Ludwig...
Megan S. replied:
Derek Gasper
Donna B. replied:
Dr. Eugene Lin. He is on LaPorte Ave. across from Verizon. He is such a caring doctor and never makes you feel rushed. We had to make a difficult treatment decision for my 8 yr old and because we had a late appointment so he sent his staff home for the night and stayed with us until ALL of our questions were answered.

Assosiated Peds

Oops just saw he rest of your post. Assossiated Peds have been the only Peds I've even happy with

Dr. Pi & Dr. Lin:)
Lorelle P. replied:
I commented on another thread, we switched to Healthlinc and we've had a great experience there so far, we love Dr. Amanda Mathews and she is a family practice doc. Also I go to Dr. Stamp for family practice, idk if she sees children though.
Jackie G. replied:
Yes, we see Dr Pi but have had experience w Gate and Lin, too. I am very happy with them Dr Pi is also our family physician so my husband and I see her too.
Melissa R. replied:
Dr Gatz!! Absolutely amazing.
Leslie R. replied:
Valerie Kane dr. parikh in crown point is phenomenal. It may be a bit of a drive but he doesn't brush off concerns. My 3 older ones go there. Assoc. peds rush and don't listen. One of their docs tried telling me my son's head was to big and complained about his dry skin saying it was gross. Really? It's dry skin.. I lotion it. What more do you want..
Gayle Y. replied:
We love love Dr. Pi we actually seen Dr. Lin the other day and he was wonderful also
Looking to switch pediatricians, any recommendations around Chesterton/Valparaiso area?

Krissy P. replied:
Winfield Family Medicine, Dr. Brechner or Michelle Hoover. They are south Valpo
Jewel H. replied:
Healthlic in valpo is amazing Dr.Maya and Mary Beth are both great.
Melissa R. replied:
Dr. Gatz!!! I cannot say enough good things about him. He's absolutely amazing!! We moved to Chicago and I'm planning on driving back to Valpo to see him when my daughter is 2 because I cannot find anyone else I like as much as him. I am also VERY VERY picky!
Kate R. replied:
Dr. Gatz or Dr. Lori Pi are both wonderful # 219-462-4167
Ok we are moving to Indiana in a week. I need pediatrician suggestions that take medicaid and not healthlinc. Thanks! :)
Amber L. replied:
Dr. Gatz. He's awesome. The nurses are great, they get you in quickly and he always responds to after hours calls fast.
Stephanie B. replied:
Dr Moustafa or samad. I started with Moustafa and he was just too busy and they pushed my son off on samad.
Stephanie D. replied:
Dr. Gatz

Jill R. replied:
We have Dr Lin who is with Gatz and Pi. He is great!! We have never seen any of the other drs but have heard from friends how great they are!! I love Dr Lin he is very informative

Dr Gatz is the absolute best!! Alex has been going there for almost ten years and that is who I will for sure have for Colton
Lakemoor, McHenry, Volo peeps I'm needing a good pediatrician recommendation in that area. Thanks. (We are moving sooooon!)
Dom D. replied:
Children and teen medical center, They have an office in barrington across the street from Good Shepherd Hospital. Great doctors but its about 20 minutes from Lakemoor! 847-382-8900 Good luck!
Kristin G. replied:
We go to Mundelein Pediatrics in Grayslake....Dr. Robert Malloy...my kids love him & have gone to him since they were born.
Lauren C. replied:
Emily, it's a bit of a drive from Lakemoor, but we go to Children's Health Center. Ryan's mom manages the practice, and has been there for 30+ years. They are always super accomodating for us, and she can get us in easily whenever we need to.And I'm sure she'd be happy to help out any of our friends as well!
Lauren C. replied:
We also used to go to Mundelein Pediatrics before I met my husband.
Liza G. replied:
We use Dr. Jeffrey Fireman of Fairview Pediatrics in Grayslake at the Northwestern building. We really like them. ( I know they are in network)

Jayme S. replied:
Daniela Ward they just told me that he was fine when he was really congested and coughing and I take him to the er and he had pneumonia that was a few months ago but still
Dr. Tumacder, she's out of Munster but worth the drive. My son is almost 17 and daughter is 14. I have been with her 17 years. Friends and family have had issues w/kids and Dr's they were seeing were not helping. Told them to see her and they all go to her now! She's wonderful, nurses are great! Silvia her np is fabulous!
Michelle M. replied:
Dr. Tumacder is fantastic! The commute just was not possible for us after moving to Valpo. It was heartbreaking. Did use Associated Peds. No issues, just not Dr Tumacder! Have used Dr. gatz just impossible to get into. At least it is for me since we only need to go for yearly checks. Have to wait months for appointments. Good luck finding a doctor that works for you and your family.
Lisa E. replied:
Dr Maya at healthlinc
Karalyn S. replied:
Dr Maya is amazing. Both my girls love her, and won't see anyone but her. My youngest is very calm and willing to listen to her, as with others she overly nervous and won't let anyone touch her.

Nicole M. replied:
Associated Peds or Dr.. Lin/ Dr. Pi with the Franciscan Alliance.
Jordan H. replied:
Dr Gatz is the only doctor I trust. Dr pi judges too Harshly and the others do not take your opinions into consideration
Robyn W. replied:
Dr. Eugene Lin...gives patients a ton of his time and attention. Great with kids, talking to them, not about them.
really need to decide on a pediatrician ASAP - any recommendations?
Rayetta M. replied:
We love DR. Holder with UAP, she is amazing!
Jamie C. replied:
I hear Uap is good with Dr. Holder, and hear Dr. Pappas is good too.

Vicki R. replied:
Dr. Bhuptani is very good
Danielle J. replied:
we have Dr. Reed....he is with Dr. Holder and they are great!
Cathy T. replied:
We also have Dr Reed. I really, really like him. I didn't care much for Dr Greene who is/was in the UAP office, but his name wasn't included in the most recent letter we received from them (flu shot clinic). Maybe he retired? The other two in the office... Dr Holder and Dr Pino I've heard great things about but have never personally met.
Tara B. replied:
We take our son to Dr Reed and love him! I have had to see Holder and Pino on days Dr Reed was out and needed to get him in that day and they were both good too!
Andrew L. replied:
We love Dr Grace Walker. She is extremely thorough and takes her time with your child. She literally refers to herself as grandma... How awesome is that?
