Need a Good Pediatrician in the N. Ft Worth/Watauga/Saginaw-Mid Cities Area

My husband and I moved from Plano going on a year now, we have a 17 month old daughter. Since she was born we have been seeing her pediatrician in Plano still. It's starting to actually get costly now that the toll rates have gone up and with gas prices raising again we just aren't able to do it anymore. I need to find a pediatrician that is honest, good with kids (there are some that aren't), great with scheduling.. and best yet, local. We are moving to Saginaw in November so the closer the better.

What can I do next?

I second the opinion on Dr. Monica Farias (Cook's doctor on Boat Club). My son, nephew, and niece all go to her. She is wonderful. She is also willing to be discuss alternative shot schedules (if that is important to you). The only compliant is that sometimes there can be a wait before getting back to be seen. But she is worth the wait!

Dr. Sharon Jackson is in the mid-cities area. My son is 4 1/2, and I have loved her since we met. She is in the Cook Childrens network, and I think you will enjoy everything about her, the office, the staff, etc.

I live in North Fort Worth we take our kids to Cook Children's Forest Park we see Dr. Mercer he is great, but I am not sure if he is taking new clients. All the doctor's there are wonderful. It is probably about a 20 minute drive without traffic so not to far. The best thing is now they are open until 7 p.m. and Sat. & Sun. We love that because it always seem our kids get sick after 5 or on the weekends. There is also a Cook Children clinic off of Heritage Trace Parkway in Keller not sure the doctor's names. They are probably around 10 minutes from Saginaw. Not sure there hours, but some of our friends use them an seem to really like it.

Cook Children's group on Martin St in Hurst...right where Precinct Line and Mid-Cities meet...behind the urgent care center. We use Dr. Lopez and some friends use Dr. Karimi. We have had to see other docs there at times and have never been disappointed. Good luck!

I second Cooks Children's off of Martin st. in hurst- we use Dr. Lisa Nash- she is wonderful, listens to you, and spends the time it takes with each patient. She has even called us at home (twice)- and once she saw us walking to the dr. room to wait for a visit with the nurse practicioner (m/s?) and she came in and did the visit herself.

I live in Saginaw and we use Dr. Marianne Levine with the UNT Health Science Center Pediatrics. She is located off of Montgomery St. and I-30 near the museum district. She really takes her time with you and explains everything so well.

We are in Saginaw and our former Cook's Dr. just moved her practice here, just off of Western Center Blvd and I-35W. It's Kids Care Pediatrics and our Dr. is Dr. Lisa Lewis.

She's excellent and very caring.

Best wishes on your move and all the changes.

We go to Fort Worth Pediatrics. They have 3 different locations. We go to the one Merrimac Circle. They have night and weekend hours. Every doctor that we have seen has been awesome with the kids.
