Can anyone recommend a pediatrics practice in the Oak Park/River Forest area?
I highly recommend Erin Taback and Oak Park Pediatrics on Chicago Ave. across from Petersen’s Ice Cream. This practice opened in early 2011 but Dr. Taback has been practicing in the area for 10 years and clearly knows her stuff. She is very accessible and understands the importance of communicating with her patients. For example she is the only doctor I know that uses email. She is even willing to see patients after-hours and on Sundays. Hopefully no more trips to urgent care for my family. The office is also very nice. I am so glad I found this practice and give it my highest recommendation.
We moved here just over 2 years ago and had a bad experience with Pedios too. Since that time, we’ve been seeing Dr. Barbato at North Riverside. She is GREAT! My oldest daughter, who will turn 4 in October, LOVES her. I also just had a baby in March and have been very happy with how well she works with infants. We’ve only had two visits where we had to see one of her partners because she was unavailable, and we’ve never had more than 15-20 minute wait in the lobby. She’s also been very helpful on call when we had a situation where we were questioning whether to take my olderst to the ER. We took her advice which immediately solved the problem and saved ourselves a trip. On top of it all, we’ve seen her several times around town, and she always remembers us and initiates a conversation or a hello at the very least. I highly recommend her.
