Back in 2012 when I had my first kiddo, I was so totally clueless when it came to the world of pediatricians and caring for my kids. The world of motherhood starting out is a scary freaking place, and you can read a lot in the world of the internet these days which more often than not makes it even scarier. I took a leap of faith when taking my first baby to her first newborn check, a week after she was born, at this Cook's Pediatrics location. I scheduled an appointment for one of the colleague doctors, because the main doctors i'd heard about here were booked. I was booked with Dr. Jackson in August of 2012, and haven't looked back since. In fact, I just got back from an appointment with her and my second kiddo today in May 2016.
Dr. Jackson has always honored my mother/kiddo questions, big, small, important, or silly (like today when I said semi-sarcastically... I'm afraid she has West Nile Virus!) with complete and thorough answers that have never, not even once made me feel like an idiot for asking them. She reassured me and walked me through statistics, and tips when fear of SIDS controlled my life for the first year of motherhood. Her bedside manner with children is absolutely impeccable and my children both enjoy her company. She can even get my younger one to crack a smile, and she starts screaming the moment we walk into the building. If Dr. Jackson isn't available, because she only works certain days (hey! she's a mom too!), we will see Dr. Leung. She is also fabulous! She is very thorough, talking things through from the beginning of symptoms and always proceeding on the side on caution with me, because it typically makes me feel better. When my first was 10 days old she had a red lump in the breast which they thought thought to be a serious condition. Dr. Leung consulted with a colleague who had been practicing for many years and brought him in to look before offering her recommendation of an ER visit. I always recommend these ladies to anyone with a new baby looking for a doctor in the Bedford area. They are awesome in their work, with kiddos and parents the same. read more
