We are sure you have seen the confusing news regarding administrators at the CDC changing the recommended vaccines for children in the U.S. We want to be 100% clear - the science around the safety, benefit, and importance of these vaccinations recommended for our children has not changed. At Northside Pediatrics, we will continue to follow the evidence-based, expert recommendations as we always have, and our vaccine policy will remain the same. By requiring the American Academy of Pediatrics vaccine schedule for our patients, we know we'll be furthering that mission we've had since our inception as a pediatric practice in 1982 - to offer the best care for your kids. Read on for more details.

My son started seeing Dr. Phillip recently. He has been amazing and really talks to my son in such a kind and inspiring way. He takes time to answer your questions and explain everything in as much detail as you need.

Amazing staff that cares, takes the time to talk with us and educate on questions we have, and makes my daughter feel comfortable during stressful sick times. Thankful for this team! Highly recommended!

Dr. Natalie Metzig is just amazing! We have been with her for 8 years and I would follow her anywhere!!! She is loving, kind, super intelligent, knowledgeable and honest! She takes care of the child and the parent. She understands that parents are also trying to do their best and they also need reassurance. She is an amazing doctor and human being. I'm honored that she agrees to care for my child. You would be lucky to have her as your doctor!

My children have been patients last 15 yrs and I cannot say enough good things about this practice. We do miss some of the practitioners who are no longer there but nevertheless every member of the team has taken such good care of my kids’ needs and well being. Dr. Basu, Dr. Metzig, and others are amazing! Keep up the good work.

Our doctor is Dr Metzig and she is phenomenal! She makes us feel like the only patient- she is so calm and friendly yet knows everything!! My daughter is 10 and we have been at the practice since birth! The office staff as well as the clinical staff are just terrific!

We have loved this practice since day 1. Dr. Hart, especially, has taken such good care of our 2.5YO daughter that my daughter asks about her like she’s her friend. This practice makes booking appointments easy, always has openings when we need them, and has just given us so much relief as parents. I can’t recommend them enough!

We love Northside Pediatrics and its staff! We especially appreciate the providers’ empathy, knowledge, and responsiveness to the concerns of first time parents. The ability to schedule a Saturday sick visit and be seen almost immediately is also so reassuring and helpful!

I’m so happy to have found Sarah! She was absolutely amazing, so sweet, professional, and thorough. She really took the time to listen and made us feel completely comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend!

We have been taking our 1-year-old daughter to Northside Pediatrics Woodstock office since she was born. She has been visited mainly by Dr. Philip. He is extremely professional, patient and courteous. I would like to specially thank him for his most recent diagnosis for our daughter which was extremely at the point and lifesaving. Not only he acted professionally on the diagnosis itself, but he also went above and beyond by following up on the status and making sure we were admitted to hospital. BIG BIG THANKS, Dr. Philip.
