Dr. Laura Bleekrode, the founder of this practice, is not only a knowledgeable and caring pediatrician, she is a parent of 7 or 8 children herself, so she speaks from experience as a parent. She takes a great deal of time with me and my children and never seems rushed. She is very caring and full of energy. She makes a point to compliment your parenting skills and your instincts when appropriate, therefore building your confidence in yourself and your judgment calls. She is all about the parent being the ""boss"" and leader, and does not believe children should call the shots. She really pushes water as the main drink and no juice. I still strive to improve regarding water, now that mine know the sweet taste of juice!
Pros: Knowledge, ease of getting ""sick"" appt., Caring attitude
