Health & Wellness Listings

doggyEditor’s Note: A brief aside on how these listings came together: To find a good doctor, many people turn to their friends, so we thought why not turn to our readers to put together a list of favorite, local OB-GYNs, pediatricians, and pediatric dentists and orthodontists? (We’ve also included urgent care listings and hospitals in which to give birth.) These listings are not meant to serve as ratings, and we’re sure there are many other great doctors in this area worth mentioning who aren’t included here. But as a parent-to-parent resource, we’re confident that this list will be very useful to those who need it. If you’d like to suggest a favorite OB-GYN, pediatrician, pediatric dentist, or orthodontist, please email the tip to [email protected], and put “Favorite Doctor” in the subject line. Mention the name of the doctor and the neighborhood where their office is located. We’ll do the rest. Thank you!
