I am new to Evanston and due with our first baby at the end of October. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
J.,
We have been using Dr. Terrizzi at 909 Davis, Suite 200, Evanston, for my 3 yr old daughter, since birth. His phone # is ###-###-####.
He was highly recommended by my sister-in-law (he saw her 2 children from birth into their teens) and we have been quite satisfied with his service.
We moved to Rogers Park just a year ago, when my daughter was about 10 months old, and found a great pediatrician in Evanston. Her name is Sharon Robinson, and is affiliated with Evanston Northwestern Healthcare (ENH), located on Central. Their office is very pleasant and very thorough--even gives a print-out with each visit summing up everything that was done or talked about. Good luck to you.
Try North Shore Pediatrics on Ridge in Evanston. We go to Dr. Virginia DePaul and like her -- other friends see Dr. Beaty and Dr. Shana Christian from the same practice. All have privileges at Evanston Hospital if you're planning to deliver there. I'm a new mom, too, and have only been in Evanston for a year...but have been impressed with this practice since our daughter was born 2 weeks ago!
Sharon Robinson, MD and the other physicians in her practice are truly excellent pediatricians. I am a pediatric cardiologist and have a lot of interactions with pediatricians in the area. This is the person/group I recommend to my own patients who live in the Evanston area.
I don't know how convenient this practice is for you but it is Dr. Walter Campbell and Dr. Nicholas Tapas in Glenview. Their office is kind of near the "Glen" (the new shopping area in Glenview). Here is there number in case you are interested ###-###-####. They are affiliated with Lutheran Gen., Northwestern and maybe Children's.

Welcome to Evanston! I have 3 kids ages 5, 3, and 2 months, all of whom go to Dr Rachel Goodman at ENH. I particularly like Rachel's "old fashioned" medical values--she is the kind of dr who listens to you, cares personally about your children, your homelife, etc, and actually will call you at home to check on your kids if she sees you have called to speak to the nurse or the dr on call during the night. We think "Dr Rachel" is the best. She belongs to a large practice in the 1000 Central Bldg across from the Hospital, and my impression is that all the docs in her practice are equally good in their own ways (we also really like Drs Robinson and Zieserl, whom our kids have seen a few times when Rachel wasn't on call), so I think any of them would be good. But as with anyone else with whom you form a close working relationship, what is most important in a pediatrician is personality fit. You need to make sure this person responds to you in a way that makes you feel valued and trusted as your child's advocate. There is a lot of variety to choose from in this regard in their practice. Maybe you ought to call them and talk to a few of the drs and see which one you like the best. Their number is ###-###-####
Good luck! And write me back with other questions about Evanston

Hi,
We use Dr. Andy Bernstein for our new born (3months old). He is part of North Suburban Pediatrics which is located on Ridge across the street from Evanston hospital ###-###-####. We have been very happy with him. He is open to any and all questions, very knowledgeable, and very sweet with our daughter.
Good luck and congratulations!
Hi J.!
We see Dr. Rachel Goodman in Evanston. She's up at Evanston Northwestern. Her number is ###-###-####.
She is sincerely the best pediatrician we've had to date. She spent SO much time with me and my 7-y.o. daughter (we recently moved here and were referred to her as well). She knows her stuff, and is really great to talk with. I felt immediately comfortable and wouldn't hesitate referring her. Good luck!
