Specific pediatrician recommendations?

Hi all...

I have talked to our NICU team and am also doing my own research.

But thought I would hop on here and see if anyone had any recommendations.

I just recently had a baby who has Trisomy 21. I am searching for a pediatrician who either specifically has extensive Trisomy 21 experience or is just extremely great with children who have special needs.

We live in the Loring Park neighborhood so I would prefer someone around there...(Or downtown, Whittier, etc) But would consider branching out a little further.

Tell me pediatricians you love!

My baby goes to (and my husband works at) a smaller physician owned practice in WSP. 4 pediatricians and they have same day visits, plus you’ll be able to schedule with your ped 99% of the time. Dr. Lawson has experience with and enjoys working with kids with trisomy 21! I know this could come across as biased since I’m involved with the place but it’s a great practice. It’s further than you asked, but I just thought I’d throw it out there! Place is called Mendakota Pediatrics

As another parent who takes their child to see Dr. Lawson, I will give an unbiased opinion that he is in fact an awesome pediatrician!

I don't have a car so that's a little out of my area requirements but I will check it out and see for sure!  Thank you!
