Hi Mamas!
I am hoping that someone can recommend a good pediatric optometrist. I have been taking my son to my optometrist and I think that she is great for me and my husband but I am doubting if she is taking the right course of action with my 6 year old. Please help!
Thank you!

He's not specifically pediatric, but Dr. Robert Peterson in McHenry is awesome. He sees my kids, and us. He's wonderful.
Dr. Nancy Hamming with Medical Eye Services in Gurnee or Lake Forest ###-###-####). She's great with kids and I totally trust her judgement. She was a referral from my pediatrician. When I first took my daughter there at 18 months old, I was worried that they didn't give her the right prescription, it seemed so strong. I took her to another place for a second opinion and didn't mention what I had been told by the first place and they came to the exact same conclusion as Dr. Hamming had in the first place! I should have just trusted her, but when it's your baby.....
Anyway, she's great and we like her a lot. Good luck!
Who do you use now? We're using Dr. Kathy Anderson with Premier Eye Care & Surgery, and they're located in Buffalo Grove (someplace else, too, but I forget the town). She's listed as pediatric, but I rarely see young children in there. She's great with our daughter (aged 3) and went above and beyond to make sure our insurer covered a visit to a retina specialist.
