Hi, I am looking for a pediatrician for my 9 month old son. I am hoping to find a male doctor who is youngish - so Jack can have the same doctor for a long time - and who is pro-breastfeeding. I also am looking for someone who is willing to take the time to answer questions and isn't in a hurry to leave the office.

Anyone know where I can find such a paragon? :D

P.

What can I do next?

Hi P.,
Welcome to Fort Collins, and belated congrats on the birth of your son!

I have recently been hearing good things about Healing Arts Medical Clinic:
3320 W Eisenhower Blvd
Loveland, CO 80537

They (Dr. Frickland) have referred at least one breastfeeding family to me for counseling.

I have counseled a mom who is the OT/CMT for Abundant Family Health
110 West Harvard Street, Suite 2
Fort Collins, CO 80525

They have a more holistic practice premise, with a DC and an MD on staff. However, the MD is a middle-aged woman, so not the young male you are looking for.

My family sees Dr. Crystal Askew of
Askew, Gray, & Burnham
1918 S Lemay
Fort Collins, CO 80525

We've seen Crystal for 7+ years. She's in her mid 40's and is supportive of breastfeeding. It fact, it was one of the conditions I placed on her before we started seeing her. She admitted to not knowing much about alternative therapies, but being willing to learn if her patients would teach her - scored points in my book! She has one son who just started college.

That's about all I know :)

If you'd like to speak personally, give me a call anytime.

I take my daughter to the Ft. Collin's Youth Clinic. We see Dr. Carole Beno but there are many other doctors to choose from. I love it there. They are completely geared towards children, have weekend hours and a nurse line that you can get all of your questions answered through quickly and easily. They also have 3 locations and a huge supportive staff of PAs and nurses. I can't wait to take my next daughter there in October!!!

Dr. Mark Rotman. He is family practice but pretty much does everything including pediatrics and ob/gyn. He's such a great doctor!! He's always on time with his appointments, calls you back precisely when he says he will, there's no rush in his office, and is very understanding with everything including tons of questions. He's in the Associates in Family Medicine office on Shields.

I'll second the Fort Collins Youth Clinic their staff is wonderful I take all 3 of my kids there, and we see them on a pretty frequent basis as my youngest daughter has epilepsy. Dr. Beth Ballard is our regular Dr. but we've had the pleasure of working with several other Drs. on staff because of my daughters condition.

We use a family practice, which I love. I love that my doctor delivered my baby , knows both of my kids and myself. He is so patient and caring and takes the time to answer all of my questions. He is wonderful. Everyone in the practice is! I met all of the doctors when I was pregnant with my 2nd baby. Dr Kauffman delivered her, they lost her vitals and he had a crash team in there, had her out in minutes. That is what impressed me. Being so sweet and patient on one hand, and being an awesome no nonsense get the job done under pressure amazing physician on the other.
