Mt. Airy Pediatrics -- Dr. Cady (and entire practice)
7056 Germantown Ave # 215
Philadelphia, PA 19119
215.247.2996
map
Dr. Cady is almost a legend in the area, but has cut back on hours and is hard to get an appointment with. Some only schedule yearly exams with him, since they can do that in advance. The practice is known for being open to extending breastfeeding, spreading out vaccines, etc.
They were not taking new patients for a while (unless you had a newborn), but there is a new doctor, Dr. Tatar, so they are currently accepting new patients. The staff is great and very friendly. They are easy to get on the phone. The waiting room is large, clean, and stocked with great toys.
Many people have said the nurse practitioner, Susan, is also wonderful.
*There is on street parking and a small lot behind the building. Strollers are hard to get inside, as there are stairs leading up to the entrance.

Dr. Charlene Brock
3300 Henry Avenue, 4th floor
Philadelphia, PA 19129 (East Falls)
215.438.3300
Dr. Charlene Brock is now in her new East Falls office! We have not experienced the new practice yet, but Dr. Brock is great. She is extremely knowledgeable, upbeat, encouraging, and supportive of things like extended breastfeeding. She is great with kids and always patient with questions. She is a wonderful choice for anyone!
Roxborough Pediatrics -- Dr. Danielle Casher
6001 Ridge Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19128
215.487.1450
map
Dr. Casher is well known in this area and has many patients in Mt. Airy. Her children have even attended the Summit program in Mt. Airy. She is known for being extremely personable and following up very often with patients. She has visited homes of patients on several occasions. You will never feel rushed with Dr. Casher.
Her waiting room is nothing to brag about, though. She shares it with another medical office, so it is often filled with patients who do not have children. There is not much room and not many toys. It has been recommended to get early morning appointments in order to avoid a crowded waiting room.

Kids First in Chestnut Hill - Dr. Kline
7700 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19118
215.247.1172 / Fax: 215.247.0663
This practice is large and has a reputation for being busy and hard to get on the phone, but we have heard wonderful things about Dr. Kline. She is great with kids and always in good spirits. There is a very large waiting room with toys.
Park behind the CVS to enter.
Kids First in Flourtown -- Dr. Tomaine
Flourtown Commons, 1811 Bethlehem Pike, Suite A106, Flourtown, PA 19031

Dr. Tomaine is a medical doctor, but also an osteopath. He is known for having a great bedside manner and is wonderful with kids. This Kids First practice is much better than most at answering phones and following up with patients. The staff is extremely nice and helpful.
