Interviewing Pediatrician in Henderson, NV - Need Feedback

I've been using Foothills Pediatrics since my 3 y.o. was born. I like Dr. Faro too. I also like Maloxi (sp?) and Mundi (also sp?) from the practice. I'm don't particularly like Conti. He's too impersonal and too free with the parenting advice (his parenting advice, frankly, offends me - I see no reason to let a baby scream itself to sleep regardless of his opinion on the subject). Fortunately, I like everyone else in the practice that I've seen. The St. Rose Siena office is much nicer than the Mt. Vista office. If Denise Moore is the same Denise Moore that used to work at Foothills Pediatrics,, I liked him too - although he was a little too "mainstream" (not particularly probreastfeeding and things like that) and free with the parenting advice too. But he is nice and approachable - and I don't necessarily seek parenting advice from my pediatrician. If you go back to Foothills, ask for Maloxi. She's great. Kind, considerate, caring, interested, down to earth.

congrats on the new baby The pediatrition my girls have is dr. Demetry bond ooo gosh both of my girls love him and my youngest doesn't like anyone she only likes one of his Ma's. also he is not in green valley or henderon he is across the stret from sunrise childrens hospital. I was refered to him by one of the ladies at the dr.s office he was working at. i was canceling their appointments and when i asked if she ha any suggestions cause i will never come back here again she told me about him and he will be opening his own office. That was it bee seeing him for six years. if you are interested e-mail me back

The doctor we see wasn't listed, but I wanted to give you his name too.

We see Dr. Heath Hoddap at St. Rose Pediatrics. We were actually refered to him by our GP (whose daughter sees Dr. Hoddap) when we had our daughter since she can't do infants. He is wonderful and the office is great. We have been seen quickly every time we've been there and I've been able to get same day sick visits for my daughter and son with no problems, usually with Dr. Hoddap. We have also seen Dr. Winkler. They have a brand new building off of Eastern Ave and Sun Ridge Heights (just before Anthem).

Hope this helps,
M.

I personally have been with Dr. Larsen's office since my son was born 20 months ago. They are great. My son sees Dr. Larsen, but if she is not available they have squeezed me in with Dr. Lee (who is also good). When you call with a question someone is always available to answer it quickly. The nurse is usually always available or one of the Dr.'s will call you right back. Both Dr.'s are very caring and approachable. They both seem to listen to what you have to say. They have never made me feel like an idiot for asking a question. I have never felt rushed in the office. If you really need to get in that day, they fit you in. I have called when they aren't in the office a couple times and left a message with the answering and I got a call back from Dr. Larsen or Dr. Lee in 5 mins. They both really care about patients. The office is run really well. I think the most I have had to wait to see a Dr. is 15 minutes.

I tried taking my son to Foothill Pediatrics to see Dr. Conti once because it is a lot closer to my house. I will never go back. I had to wait over 2 hours to see the Dr. Finally, when I saw him he told me my son just had a cold. I took my son back to Dr. Larsen 2 days later because he wasn't any better and she told me he had a full blown ear infection that was somehow overlooked. So I would really consider meeting with Dr. Larsen if you haven't yet. I absolutely love her and I won't take my kids anywhere else.

Good luck in your search.

Hi D.! I chose Dr. Conti (Foothills Pediatrics) when I was pregnant with my first child. I interviewed him & loved him. When I gave birth, it was Dr. Faro that came to the hospital & I took an immediate liking to him. My daughter is now 2 years old and I have seen most of the Dr.'s in the practice (you don't get to pick which Dr. you see if you want in quickly for a "sick visit"). I have been happy with all the Dr.s, but Dr. Faro is definitely my favorite & I now request him for all my "well visits/check-ups".

I would highly recommend both Dr. Faro and Foothills Pediatrics in general. I have been to both of the Henderson locations and have been pleased with the office staff at both. They are always friendly & accomodating and have excellent office hours.

Hi D.! I personally had Dr. Levin through Henderson Pediatrics with my son when he was first born. Due to my insurance changing I had to leave that dr. But the office staff was always very nice and understanding of me being a first time mom, and not always knowing what was going on. Good luck in your search!

I like Dr. Delgado! She was great!

Hi! Just wanted to let you know I have taken my son to your number 8, Dr. Surpure when our regular Dr office is closed. The doctor is very friendly and spends a good amount of time answering questions. I use that office as an urgent care (only because it is far away from me) because they do have late hours and for some reason my son always gets sick after hours. The only thing I don't like about that office is the wait time. Usually we are one out of two people waiting to be seen and we always end up waiting for at least a half hour. Well hope that helps.

We saw Dr. Lee for the first time a few weeks ago and she seemed nice enough. I think I still liked Dr. Rutu Estruchzan (spelling might be off, sorry, baby's crying so I'm typing fast) at Southwest Medical better, but Dr. Lee was fine. I'd stick with Dr. E. if our new insurance allowed it, but it doesn't.

gotta run arrghh...
