I use Dr.Lentsch in CInco Ranch.
Yes, she does move fast but that is fone with me because I don't want to spend hours at a drs. office.
I suggest writing down what you want to discuss with her b/c that helps with my appts.with her.
She ALWAYS has an appt.available when needed.
good luck.

so far i've tried two and both are good depending on your preferences. dr. lentsch can get you in on a moment's notice even on silly, first-time-mom things, which is awesome with a baby, but then i felt rushed through my appt and didn't feel like she took the time to really check my son out. so now i've switched to dr. browne with katy pediatrics who is very slow and thorough and never rushes me, but then as a result the wait can sometimes be very long and hard with a toddler. i've also never had to go in on a moment's notice but i suspect i wouldn't be able to- it's more difficult to get an appt. good luck.

Dr Elizabeth Gordon on Peek Rd is very good. Dr Kirsten Lentsch with Cinco Ranch Pediatrics is on Mason Rd and is great too. She has built a very big practice but moved to her new location about a year or so ago so she may be taking new patients. I think they are both in practice by themselves - Dr. Lentsh had a nurse practioner working with her as of last year. We personally go to Bornstein pediatrics in Richmond or the Sugarland location since we were supposed to build in Richmond before moving to Fulshear. They have multiple pediatricians and we can get in within a few hours if we need to. BTW, my husband Dr. Benjamin Po is a pediatric dentist in Cicno Ranch, if you haven't found a pediatric dentist yet. His website is www.pediatricdentistofkaty.com I'm his number one referral source, followed by the pediatricians. (I'm a rep with a new home party plan so I'm always in front of moms who are looking for a referral!) welcome to the area!

We have used Cinco Ranch Pediatrics for almost 2 years now and I do not have a single complaint. I go in with my questions, get my kiddos checked out, questions answered, and we are on our way. I have never had to wait long or been told there are not apts. available. Also a big plus, the after hrs. phone number goes directly to a cell phone for the doctor. I had to call last year on Halloween when my 2 month old lost her voice and was pretty sick. The doc answered all my questions, did not make me feel like I was interrupting her and I was very pleased with the services her entire group provides.

Now, their style is not for every parent. I would suggest making an appointment to visit with the doctors and then decide which one you want to take your kids too. I got overwhelming referrals for Cinco Ranch Pediatrics and have been pleased with my decision ever since.

Good luck!

I would stay away from Cinco Ranch Peds (Dr. Lenstch), yes, they have a brand new facility and are nice - but she only spends about 5 minutes with her patients. She's grown too fast and the "care" needed for infants is gone. I took both my children there - but once they moved to their new building - I felt as if we were on an assembly line - "how fast can we get in and out". Plus, she mis-diagnosed my daughter TWICE!

We now go to Dr. Agnes Kisch, she's next to St. Christus (www.drkisch.com). It's a little further than I wanted to drive, but she is WONDERFUL. Dr. Kisch has Always had an opened appointment for the day I call and she answers the phone after hours, plus spends as much time with us as we need. Her nurse (Liz) - is fabulous too. You truly receive the 'care' you need. Both, Dr. Kisch and Liz make you feel as if you are their only patient. Dr. Kisch has waited for me, after hours and met us on Saturday morning - when we were having issues. Here's a link that also gives reviews. www.lilaguide.com/Reviews/ListingDetail.aspx?lid=525107

When I tried to see Dr. Lentsch on a Saturday - she told me to go to Sugarland's Pediatric emergency (we live in Katy). When I went there - I found out that the issue was an ear infection - Dr. Lentsch misdiagnosed the day prior. I didn't realize how bad of care we were receiving, until I left Cinco Ranch Peds. Sad, we loved her when she was at the old location. She was quick, but not as bad as when they moved. Once they moved, all phone assistance changed to - come in and see us. They wanted that co-pay.

Oh, and I agree with Trina - we go to Dr. Po.. Even though she's a little biased (haha) He IS fabulous with children! :)

We moved here in March and went to Dr. Elizabeth Gordon on Peek Road at the recommendation of my cousin, who takes her daughter there. Dr. Gordon was very nice, patient, and thorough.

I love my pediatrician. He is at TX Children's location at Fry Rd. in the St. Christus' medical center. His name is Dr. A. Clarke. He is great. I have a 10 month old and he is our first. Dr. Clarke is young and speaks to us in lamin (sp?) terms. Everyone in the office is great and they have Sat. emergency hours. I randomly picked Dr. Clarke b/c I didn't know how to go about choosing a pedi but am very happy with him. He takes his time to really talk to me and answer any questions I may have and as a new mom I would arrive with a list of questions.

I hope this helps. Good luck in your search.

I go to Cinco Ranch Peds. On Mason Road and Cinco Blvd. Dr Kirsten Lentsch, I think that is how you spell it. The team are always happy to help - especially as I am a Scot and have no idea how insurance etc works here.

I have three kids (14, 11 & 9) and they have been seeing Dr. Roula Sabbagh at the Kelsey Seybold Clinic on Kingland for the last eight years. The staff are very efficient and I have never had to wait for an extended period of time to see Dr. Sabbagh, even if we we were there for a sick visit. Dr. Sabbagh is not overly friendly but she pays attention to what I have to say and what my kids have to say. I would recommend her to anyone.
