One of the most common type of questions you find in local area social media chats are advice for local practitioners – who is the best family doctor or primary care doctor? Will the doctor see my whole family? Aurora or Prohealth Care or Ascension or Froedtert? Which family doctor has the best bedside manner? Which primary care doctor is the most knowledgeable? We get asked these questions all the time! The advice is all out there, but not consolidated in one place. Where can you find it? Lake Country Family Fun to the rescue!

In January of this year, we asked our readers to vote on the best care providers in Lake Country in several categories. Below you’ll find the TOP three providers for each category, followed by the top nominees, all who received a significant number of reader votes.
We received over 2,900 unique votes (wow!) and carefully parsed through the data to finalize the results including counting the write-ins. Each January, we will repeat the vote so if your favorites are not included, there is always next year. We are blessed to live in an area with such great practitioners and there was a wide field of contenders in each category so even if one isn’t listed in the top nominees doesn’t mean they are not amazing!
