Overview

Services

Pediatrics is a very rewarding and engaging field to work in, and I am honored to be part of the Children's Wisconsin primary care family! From healthy checkups to sick visits in the office, I hope to help create a friendly environment for kids when they come to see their doctor. Earning a smile from a patient means so much. I am reminded every day of how blessed I am to have the opportunity to join families in helping their children to grow up safe and healthy.

My adventure toward a career in pediatrics started with medical school in Michigan, where I was born and raised. I then moved "out west" to Milwaukee for my pediatric residency training at Children's and in clinics throughout the community. I have since fallen in love with Wisconsin and am happy to be practicing here. What's not to love about the dairyland? My hobbies include baking (banana bread is my specialty), jogging by the lake, and cheering on the Admirals at hockey games.

Recently transferred care to this clinic. Dr Getschow and her MA were so patient with my daughter who was terrified for shots. They offered other options that helped. Thank you!

Didn't get the great experience we usually get; didn't feel like my personal concerns were addressed to my satisfaction. Felt like more testing is warranted to find causes for issues & more education to be given to child about diet.

We have had Yeriann as our MA almost every visit. She's prompt and efficient and when we had our 2mo vaccines she was so quick. Renee RN is so supportive and was able to lend a helping hand as a support person to me! These two along with Dr. Getschow make an amazing team!

We just transferred care here and are so pleased that we did. Everyone was very professional and Dr. Getschow listened very well. We wish we would have transferred here sooner!

Dr. Getschow does a wonderful job explaining important health info to my pre-teen in an age relatable yet technical manner. During the exam, she explains each step prior to engaging. This really calms my daughter's nerves and makes the experience worry-free. My daughter left her exam feeling empowered with information about her developing body and health. We're very happy with Dr. Getschow! In fact, I wish she saw parents too!

Dr. Getschow is great. She is easy to talk to, she listens and explains things in a way that we can understand. Thank you.

Dr. Getschow was AMAZING! She exuded genuine kindness and care. From the moment she walked into the room I knew my daughter was in excellent hands, and that my other 2 daughters who will soon be in her care, will be treated in the same amazing way. I feel so thankful to have found her! The entire team at the Delafield location was welcoming and kind - an absolutely incredible experience all around!!!

Angela at the front desk is always so sweet and happy. Dr getschow is phenomenal. She listens and cares. She takes concerns seriously and always follows up. She sees all 3 of my kids and has since our oldest was born. We trust her completely and value her so much.

We love Dr. Getschow. She has been responsive, approachable and extremely helpful over the past 8 years.

The MA that roomed us was not particularly friendly given that she works in a peds office. The second MA that came in to do my daughter's immunizations was excellent and is clearly in the right field. She was very friendly, cheerful, explained thoroughly what she was doing and her technique was sound.

The nurse we had worked with was brief and appeared rushed. Our visit with our physician is always wonderful!

Hi, first off, for the first question, I meant to give Dr. Getschow a 10, not a 1. So we love Dr. Getschow. She is absolutely amazing. She is great with the kids, great with parents. We would highly recommend her to anyone. So we appreciate having her as our pediatrician. Thank you. Bye-bye.

The medical assistant that worked with us was not extremely friendly and did not work well with my daughter when she was upset. I felt she was annoyed by my daughter

We have gone to Dr Getschow for 9 years now and she has been awesome to work with throughout that time. Just a great person and a Doctor. You are so lucky to have her on your staff. A real gem!

The wait time while I was waiting for my provider was extensive and I was not informed that she was running behind.

Dr. Getschow is by far the best pediatrician at the Delafield Children's Hospital that I have ever taken my kids to, which I have taken them to the urgent care and also during the day. They're basically the day hours. I wanted to say that she is probably the one I would recommend the most to any parent that has, is looking for a primary for their children. And I will do just that. And she handles her position there very well and treats, well, she treated my children with kindness, care, and I had the most quality possible experience while I was there.

Dr Getschow is ALWAYS friendly, helpful, and kind. She listens so well and treats us so well. Front desk staff on the lower level not very friendly.
