I'm expecting my first baby in July and am looking for good recommendations for a pediatrician in preferably La Plata or Waldorf or Charlotte Hall.
Any recommendations would be appreciated!!!
I'd also like to know who to steer clear of!
Thanks again!

donbarzini said:They're bigger quacks than Donald 'effin Duck! When my 16yo daughter was in 3rd grade, took her there for abdominal pain/vomiting. Chhabra blamed a virus for vomiting, and dehydration for the pain. Vomiting stopped but 2 days later pain still existed. Took her back. Blamed it on an "electrolyte imbalance". Said to fill her full of Gatorade and check back "tomorrow". Checked back tomorrow, no improvement. Sent her for sonogram of upper left abdomen. Came back normal. Sait looked me square in the eye. "It's definitely NOT appendicitis.". Next morning took her to Children's ER. Doctor, who doesn't look old enough to drive, walks in. We describe symptoms. He says to my daughter, "Michelle, I'm gonna do something and when I do, I want you to take one finger and point to exactly where it hurts.". He stepped up to the table, bumped it lightly with his thighs and my daughter pointed to her lower abdomen. He said "It's appendicitis". It had burst and she ended up spending ten days in the hospital, and another week at home with a heparin lock for IV antibiotics.
