Donald A. Fahler, MD, FAAP

What a kind knowledgeable person We have always had such a positive experience with Dr. Fahler. He not only provides the best care for our children but often asks us parents how we are doing. Highly recommended

Not a great listener and he was highly biased toward pushing my son in the direction of stereotypic behaviors for boys towards playing sports like football and such. Given his poor side manners we did not feel like coming back. It is unfortunate that there are so few male pediatricians in town so the options are so limited for kids that want to have a male doctor.

So disappointed and irresponsible. We set up an appointment due to my son had a fever. We reported details about his temperature and symptoms when setting up the appointment. However the doctor just came and did the regular 3-year-old checkup without reading my sons detailed information.

Dr Fahler is awesome. He is informative and doesnt leave until all questions are clearly answered. He is a great doctor. We are not fans of IU what so ever. But we stay because of him.

Wonderful caring pediatrician.

Great pediatrician. Very thorough and shows a great deal of care for my daughters health. He is very good and communicating fast through mychart as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pediatrician and feel very thankful we were able to get him as our pcp for our daughter.

It has been many about 5.5 years since my oldest son saw Dr. Fahler as an newborn-one year. I thought he was a great doctor and really cared about the child but also the mom. He could see I was struggling with being a new mom. If we hadnt moved out of state we would have continued seeing Dr. Fahler.

Ive seen him a couple of times with my LO and I have to say I am very impressed He takes his time and for once you dont feel rushed talking to a doctor Hes patient and kind and he seems really interested in your and your childs well beeing

My 12 year old son had a cold. With him having asthma I like take him in even if he only has a common cold. Lukes pediatrician was out of the office today and we had to see the doctor on call. Which unfortunately was this manThis doxtor proceeded to bash me about things that trigger my sons asthma like cat dander which can be on anything I cant help that we dont own pets perfume and cigarette smoke.Now I do wear perfume and I smoke 10 cigarettes a day never in front of my son never in a vehicle with my son and always out of my home.UC dr. Fahler went on to tell me about how his mother did that to him when he was a young lad. How he hated it and was too scared to say anything. His mom went to the garage to the basement in the Attic to smoke. It didnt help. And it was all very horrible for him.He also told me of how he refuses to let his children see his mother unless she quit smoking. Because the cigarette smoke is still on her clothes and in her hair and rubs off on his children.This man treated me like I was a 16 year old mother. I am 43 years old I have a college background and teach in the public schools.First of all my sons got a mind and Im mouth all his own. If that boy dont like something Im going to be the first to know it. That boy tells me everything.I would never put him in a situation to where hed even have to discuss something like this with me.Second of all this doctor knows no history of my son. If he looked a little bit further he would see that my son has autism. That I have had the same pediatrician for my son since he was born. Ive never experienced any issues with his regular pediatrician. And you know what since the age of 3 mama has been taking him to four different therapies a week to see to it that this young lad can be everything that he needs to be. And today he is thriving straight A student no issues with school no issues with Attitude no issues with behavior is well-liked in the community and has a great giving heart.He also told me he could smell my perfume when he walked in.And how he and other doctors at IU Arnett call CPS on parents like me when their children get sick.And after all that he said my sons lungs sound fine the asthma is not flared up.Have the greatest doctor of the Year award goes to Dr. Fahler
