Apish ped in NW Houston?

So who is the ped you love who is downtown?

Have you tried a ped's practice over in Katy? It wouldn't be as far as downtown from Fairfield. I grew up near Copperfield....so I'm familiar with the area.

There is a doc out in Katy who is a member of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. If you email them, they will send you a list. I will see if I can find it.

Hopefully this works: Her name is Helen Marie Haney, MD, FAAP

I've never seen her, can't vouch for her, have no idea about her. But ... she has some potentially good credentials.

Wow. Thanks for the link. I had never heard of the academy of breastfeeding. She is on fry and I-10 which is actually good for me! I think I'll call tomorrow!

I used to use Dr. William Hogan. I really liked him a ton. He never pressured me to cio (in fact, told me it was not recommended), was supportive that I was still bf my dd past one year and really just never gave me any parenting advice I didn't want. Every ped I have seen since leaving his office has asked me way too many questions about things that are simply none of their business and have nothing to do with the health of my children!

Have heard good things about Dr. Hogan, but didn't like two of the other docs I met. Their office was kind of assembly-line-ish if that makes any sense.

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is an interesting group: www.bfmed.org

Good luck,

How was he WRT vax?

I have had great experiences with Village Family Practice - 9055 Katy Freeway. I have only used two of the doctors there (Noel & Groff), but have found them to be very supportive of breastfeeding, co-sleeping, and delaying vaxs. They are not pediatricians but GP's, so the whole family can use them. I have been going there for 8 years now, so I'm very happy.
