We love Holyoke pediatrics. We see Dr lemme and he is fantastic. My daughter engages with him very well
We go to Pediatric Associates of Hampden County, we see Dr. Peskin and he’s wonderful. For preschool we went to St. Mary’s Parish school, we continued there until he was going into 4 th ( needed an iep). But they threat you like family. They also have an afterschool program if you need one. I can’t say enough about st. Mary’s
Christina S. replied:
We use Dr. Armstrong at Riverbend, they’re so good with kids there. Also, my oldest who is now almost 8 went to the YMCA until kindergarten and now my youngest is in her second year there. They’re fantastic!

Dr Rebekah Richmond. She is AWESOME! I know she delivers at baptist but I'm not sure which location. She is with UF/Shands practice. Her office is out at the beach.
Taylor H. replied:
Dr. Fiorina Pellegrino. She in same office as Rebekah Richmond. They are so amazing.they listen to u and yours and the babies needs. Would recommend those docs anyday,but good luck girl and congrats!
Sara M. replied:
Yeah I'd also recommend Dr. Richmond, and Dr. Farrow, and Dr. Pellegrino. They pass you around between the three of them so you'll be comfortable with whoever is on call when you deliver. Only problem is they don't work out of baptist south or st. Vinc...See More

Tina the dr your friendd heather is telling you about is the one i told you about the other day! DR Jeanine mauney delivered my son!

Rachael L. replied:
Dr. Armstrong is amazing
Alecia S. replied:
Dr. Armstrong is amazing, and basically the only reason we have stayed at Riverbend.... hoping its not her.
Jillian M. replied:
Kimberly Hatch, we love Dr. Lemme at Holyoke Pediatrics. We followed him when he left the practice we were originally at in Westfield. I know someone else said they like Dr. Velasco at PAHC but we had several horrible experiences with her with Jameson, which is why we ultimately left to follow our doctor!
Rachael L. replied:
Dr. Armstrong is so easy going. She never rushes through an appointment. She listens to every concern that you could possibly have even the silliest things. And she definitely does not jump to medication as a first Resort for anything. We just adore her. And you can tell how much she adores children and the children really respond to her.
Holly P. replied:
Christopher's pediatrician is Dr Armstrong and she is amazing. I agree with your friends statement about her above! Dr Miller is great too.
So, if anyone was wondering, if Riverbend "accidentally double books" kicks your one year old out of the appointment slot, and you show up like an idiot, appointment...

Sabrina C. replied:
Med Express in Westfield is great!
Rose D. replied:
I've been to Med Express near the shops and they were great. I found Noble Express to be very rude there and will never go back. And for pediatrician, we bring out kids to PAHC. They are wonderful.

Dr Armstrong she's amazing but she's a family doctor not a ped and she is very supportive in our parenting

Every female doc at Holyoke Pediatrics is awesome. We live on the northwestern side of Westfield now but the high quality of health care was worth the drive from Russell.

Dr Armstrong is our family doctor. She sees everyone she has doctorate in pediatric and adult medicine. I have a 6 year old, 4 year old and a newborn.
Best Pediatrician and why??? I'm asking here because I want someone local and want to hear the experiences of my friends and neighbors here in Westfield. I don't like...
Kirby Q. replied:
I love riverbend. The whole team is awesome but Dr Deb Murray is our personal favorite. She's the PA for Dr. Armstrong who we also love.
Mandi R. replied:
I was also going to recommend riverbend and Dr. Armstrong. She is the pc for both my kids and she is amazing. She doesn't judge and she always listens and is on top of referrals etc. She is great!
Lauren D. replied:
We use PAHC and love the providers there. Dr. Peskin is my children's primary care and he is in the Westfield office. Dr. Harp is also great but she is in the West Springfield office. For breastfeeding help, I can't say enough great things about Dr. Elizabeth Rose. She is at Riverbend in Wilbraham (which I know is a far drive). She is an MD focused on breastfeeding medicine. I saw her when my daughter was two weeks old and she spent literally two hours with me.
Heather H. replied:
I use Naomi Rosenberg. She has her own practice and does family medicine (So she can do my daughter, me and my husband). I've used her since we had our daughter. She's perfectly my style. Very laid back and easy going. Not overly dramatic, but knows when to be concerned and how to handle it. She's open and willing to listen to your preferences and also has a ton of great experience and advice!
Jacqueline J. replied:
Riverbend.. Dr. Armstrong!
Shawn W. replied:
We use Fairview Pedi in Chicopee, a bit of a ride but well worth it, Dr. Bell is the best.
Alexa M. replied:
We use riverbend in Westfield and see Dr. Elizabeth Armstrong. She is great! She is honest, caring, makes you feel comfortable. We never wait more than 5 minutes for our sons appointments. She is a family doctor not only a pediatrician. We went there because good friends of ours go to her and I am not disappointed at all. The staff are all friendly, and it is clean in there.
Debra S. replied:
Pahc was better when Dr Taylor was there, since he's been gone they've gone down, I don't like Dr Peskins at all he's not good with kids,
Tonia L. replied:
Dr Armstrong she is kind caring and explains everything to us in terms we understand. I could go on and on but it looks like everyone else already has.
Janelle H. replied:
We see Dr. Armstrong as well. We started seeing her around 12 months so I don't know about her knowledge of bf'ing as we already had that established.
Kaleigh P. replied:
Dr Armstrong is absolutely amazing. She takes all concerns seriously, she is pro breastfeeding and willing to help in any way possible. She has twins which is why I switched to her she understands being a mother (I have twins) and I needed someone who understood us and our needs. She doesn't look at the computer once until we are about to leave and she has always been more than willing to help!
Becky F. replied:
Dr Armstrong is amazing she has seen both my boys since they were born
Maurica C. replied:
I am also recommending Dr. Armstrong at Riverbend. She's so amazing!

Jessica M. replied:
Dr Peskin at PAHC in Westfield. He is very patient, listens to all of our concerns carefully, always spends a long time at each visit, and we never feel rushed. He also has two relatively young children, so I feel like he has recent experiences with going through what we're going through!
Dawn O. replied:
Dr. Chua and Dr. Kenia at westfield pediatrics they are awesome there I'm so glad I found them so far I've never had a problem getting a appointment or anything down to earth the whole staff is that way!

I have no idea what her views are on breastfeeding, but Dr. Susan Harp at Pediatric Associates is incredibly. PAHC has wonderful providers all around but Dr. Harp is something else.
