I moved to Mishawaka this past summer and have the daunting task of picking a doctor. I think the hardest part of moving someplace new is starting over in the doctor selection process. I had to pick a name to get started and chose a family practice doctor in town. I met with her twice when my son (12) got a really bad sinus/chest infection. She was nice but I didnt really feel like she was the one for the long haul. I wouldnt mind getting my son a ped. doc again. Any suggestions for a good doc in the area? Also I have to pick the dreaded gyn doc. I really liked my old doc back home so this is going to be really hard for me.

Doctor suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Docs

I take my daughter to Michiana Pediatrics. They have an office in downtown South Bend, but I take her to see Dr Barrett who is in their Granger office. His partner at that office is Dr Pandian(?) and she is really nice too. As far as an OBGYN goes, I use OBGYN Associates of Northern Indiana. They're in the Skyway Plaza that's attached to Memorial Hospital. I've seen the doctors that deliver at Memorial and they're all pretty good. Some have better bedside manner than others, but they all know what they're doing. I would choose Dr Wolf if I had to choose just one in the practice.

doctor recommendations

I cant really help you out with a family doctor as I'm trying to find a "decent" one myself...I can say that I do not like Dr T Neumann and wouldnt recommend him, hence the reason why I'm trying to find a new one...
As far as an ob doc, I really like Dr Madden and her Nurse Practioner (which I'm drawing a blank on her name right now). They are both females and are really great!
I hear wonderful things about the pediatric doctors at the South Bend Clinic, especially Dr Wykoff which I'm not sure if she is accepting new patients but I know there is a Michiana Mom on here that I believe can still get you in by refferal.
Good Luck, I know how stressful it can be to find the right doctor!!
