MISSISSIPPI:

Jackson:

Dr. Paul Parker       Pediatric GI

MISSOURI:

Poplar Bluff:

Dr. Claudia Preuschoff Pediatrician 

Northwest Medical Plaza          Poplar Bluff, MO 63901           Phone: (573) 785-2005

When my first son was born, the pediatrician we had chosen for him dismissed my concerns of his spitting up, abdominal discomfort and his screaming when he would have a bowel movement.  At three weeks of age, we changed to Dr. Claudia.  She immediately did extensive testing and Zack was diagnosed with reflux and mild Hirshprungs.  She always seems to have the time to listen to all of my concerns and crazy ideas, although her waiting room is never empty. When we first noticed signs of reflux in our second baby, at three weeks old, she was very concerned and even called us to check on his progress!  She is a wonderful person as well as a very knowledgable pediatrician.  I would highly recommend her to anyone who cares about the treatment of their child(ren).  zack@clnet.net   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Bob Hoffman Pediatrician

My 1st child had tons of "throwing up" that I thought was severe.  He was thriving and otherwise very healthy and quit spitting up at about 1 year old.  My 4th child has severe reflux and must have meds to get through her day.  She is now 5.  I see the difference in the two cases as well as my doctor did.  He is very smart and really does listen to the parent.

Dr. Rubin is very conservative in his practice.   He does not diagnose without proper testing and 'trial'.  He will not immediately diagnose GER without first testing, re-testing, talking and questioning and observation.  He also has a very 'dry' sense of humor that may turn some off...
