Seeking a pediatrician good with a teen with anxiety and an eating disorder and all the usual stuff

Our daughter has had anxiety issues over the years and now has an eating disorder.  I'm not happy with how her current pediatrician fails to take this into account when seeing her.  She is coming out of an eating disorder program and needs to have a "team" in place.  We have a therapist and nutritionist we trust.  We'd like to find a new pediatrician who takes mental health into consideration also when taking into consideration her medical needs.


We have appreciated the holistic approach the folks at Summit-Springfield Family Practice have used with related issues for our family members.


Highly recommend Dr. Andrea Katz or Dr. Andrea Ploshnick at the Millburn office of Watchung Pediatrics. The office is in the same complex as Jade Lake Chinese Restaurant on Millburn Avenue. My daughter switched to this practice when my daughter was about 12 because she wanted a female doctor (we had previously gone to Dr. Cotler). I can't say enough good things about the physicians in this practice. Extremely competent and knowledgeable, they spend as much time as you need, and both of these doctors truly care. As a plus, they have a phlebotomist in the office so you don't need to make a separate stop at a lab. PM me if you want additional relevant information.
