Moms-Question about Pediatricians

Right now TJ sees Dr. Cindy at Dr. Eva Hansens Office. I like them, they are always very nice but they seem to blow off my concern for things sometimes. I've been thinking about looking for a different pediatrician and I was wondering if you favored a male doc for your sons or a female for your daughters or if it didn't/doesn't matter to you. I'm asking because after talking with my cousin, whose son will be 1 yr old on the 11th of this month, she began with a female ped. but then switched to a male and she said that she feels he is much better when dealing with Logan. I'm just wondering and trying to think for the future if he would be more comfortable in the long run with a male doctor instead of a female or if it will not even matter. I know when I was younger I always prefered seeing the female docs over the male ones that were at the practice. Maybe I'm just over thinking this though??

Re: Moms-Question about Pediatricians

  • I don't think it matters, at the practice we go to there are 2 male Dr's and a female NP.
  • Our practice is all female, so if I would even want the option to see a male, I'd have to switch.

  • I went to Dr. Hansens group for many years too...and was less than impressed with them.  I ended up switching my kids over to PediatricCare Associates on Meijer Drive.  There are several docs there...but we mainly see either Dr. Bilo or Dr. Heil.  I love them...they take tons of time with us and we are super happy with them.  My kids are older: 15, 13, and 9...and they all like the docs and staff there too.

  • I was looking at that office because I saw that they accept my insurance. I just feel that the doctors at our current office don't take my concerns seriously and kind of just blow them off because I'm a first time mom. Dr. Cindy is my favorite out of the bunch but I just feel that I could be getting better care for him. Guess I'll have to call around and see what I can get. Its too bad that there aren't any of them that are closer to my house. All of the other doctors offices are across town from us.

  • A goes to a male doctor and I like him a lot.  He never rushes us and asks all kinds questions and we can ask him as many questions as we want too.

    My practice has 2 drs. one male, one female. They take turns seeing them. I have no issue w/ sex.

    Nyrek: I didn't realize you had older children. I thought on a recent post you mentioned children. I also have 2 older children 11 & 13. What city is Meijer Dr. on? 

  • When I hit puberty I wanted to see only female doctors.

    Although Davis just saw one of the male doctors at the practice we go to and I'm going to start going to him exclusively.  He was super nice and I think Davis will eventually prefer a male doctor over a female.

  • Not sure which side of town you live on, but I highly recommend Franklin Park Peds.  They have a good mix of female and male doctors, I've seen all of them now and have liked every single one.

  • I love Franklin Park Peds....Monk sees either Dr. Al-Ayoubi, or Dr. Haidar. and I love them both. I think that Monk will see Dr. Al-Ayoubi primarily until he is old enough to decide if he would prefer to see a male doctor. There is only one doc at the practice that I havent had J2 see...and as long as there are other docs available I dont think he will see that one, but that is just my personal preference....they rubbed me the wrong way when I did my walk through before I had J2.

  • I saw a male pediatrician my whole life when growing up, it didn't bother me.  My most favorite GP as an adult was a male too, he had the BEST bedside manner and you could talk to him about everything very comfortably....unfortunately he's up here in Ann Arbor and once I left U of M I got another GP down in Toledo who is also a male....I like him, he's HILARIOUS!

    KP and PJ both see a male pediatrician.  S. Toledo Peds.  LOVE THEM!

  • Our office has 2 male and 1 female. We always see the female who is our regular family dr but if she isn't in and we need to be seen we see the male dr. One I like and the other is just okay. I love our Dr. but I am guessing you don't want to make a trip to Wauseon for appointments so I am no help. lol.
