Anyone have any feedback on either of these pediatric practices in Silver Spring?

We go to Children First but in Rockville (same docs, different office staff) and LOVE them. One is nicer than the next...no complaints whatsoever.

I bet we're on the same circuit. =)

We're trying to decide between Children First and Discovery Pediatrics. Pediatric Associates was next on our list, but we liked the first two so much, and are having a tough enough time choosing between them, that we didn't want to throw a third office into the mix!

We go to Childrens First in SS. Only 2 minor complaints: 1) the offices are a little shabby, and this is even after they tried perking them up last year! and 2) b/c they also have a Rockville office and are affiliated with Shady Grove, they almost always make referrals to doctors/practices in the Shady Grove area and that is not at all convenient if you live in Silver Spring or Chevy Chase as I do.

Thanks for all the advice! I heard Discovery Pediatrics only has one dr. right now who is taking new patients (Dr. Cohen) .. Children's FIrst has a lactation consultant which seemed like a plus, at least in the beginning stages...

Children's First has a lactation consultant? Are you sure? Is this new? They sure as hell didn't have one 3 and 6 years ago when I was desperate for one!! Although they did give me the name of a very nice lady who came to my house for a reasonable price.

Yes, she's actually a nurse practitionner and lactation consultant. She's only been there a year.
