Philly Pediatrician recs?

[moderngal]

I know there are threads on this, but the search isn't working right for me...

I received a letter today that my insurance company is dropping CHOP as an in-network provider. And while I do like our current ped, I'm not about to start paying out of network fees for her (she is CHOP affiliated).

Does anyone have any recommendations for a pediatrician that is *not* part of CHOP? I need someone *in* the city and that is at least mostly AP friendly. Thanks!!

I go to University City Family Medicine and see Kate Flemming-Cohen who is an NP. I really like her. Its a family practice, not a peditrican's office. There are good and bad things about a family practice, they are more laid back about things, but they are more laid back about things (as in if you are really worried about something, they may blow it off as not a big deal even though it your new little human being!)

And if you need a sick appointment you don't get to see who you want, just whoever is available and some people there are better than others.

Kate, our NP, is fine with us co-sleeping, ds is over 1 and nursing and she thinks that's great, we are doing delayed/selective vaccines and she is fine with that. So yeah.

I've heard amazing things about Penny Soppas (sp?) she is a ped and a lc, but she's in drexel hill.

When we lived in Philly we went to Society hill Pediatrics. We saw Dr. McSorley. They aren't totally AP but they respected our decision to delay vax and cosleep. They are very pro-bfing. However, I'm not sure if they are affiliated to CHOP or not.
