Hey, Davis Square parents!

Local pediatricians. You like? You hate? Why?

Love, love, love Deborah James at http://www.childrensgardenpeds.com/. They're in the Sancta Maria medical complex on Concord Ave just up from Alewife. She just started her own practice, but has another pediatrician in the same office that will cover 24-hr phone support. We've seen him once when she was out of town and like him too. We love that she's always super, super, super friendly and happy. (This may seem like a little thing, but somehow makes a big difference, especially when you're exhausted from a newborn or a sick baby.) She's smart and good at talking with you and explaining things to you in a conversational way while respecting your intelligence. We really like her attitude towards health and medical decisions. For example, she's generally pro vaccine, but also pro thinking about the pros and cons of each one and not just doing something because "you're supposed to." She has a very common sense approach to taking care of kids and genuinely loves them. My husband says he thinks she's the best doctor he's ever dealt with. We love her.

You win! Your review pushed a lot of my good buttons, so my husband interviewed her and thought she was great. (And apparently she has the "Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes" plaque! Yay Latin nerds.) Thanks for the recommendation :).
