I'm looking to change pediatricians. I'm not super crazy about mine.
She is very quiet, and doesn't talk a lot, and is very vague when telling me about a diagnosis. I always have to ask- what exactly is it, how did she get it, how long will it last, is it contagious, when can she be around other children, - simple stuff that I feel a good doctor should just give. I mean what if I don't ask the right question?
And maybe this shouldn't matter, (I didn't think it did at first) but she has no children of her own. After taking my DD to her for 18 months, sometimes I just don't think she "gets" it.
Anyway- I'd love a pediatrician who'd walked in and looked like she really cared about my child. One who has been there and done that. One would really communicate with me about my child instead of me getting most of my info from webmd.com.
Know one? I'd love to hear about it! :)
I love my daughter's pediatrician, Dr. Darletta Kincaid. She's great with kids and is super informative and in my perception she knows her stuff!! She's also very patient with me when I ask tons of questions. She primarily works out of Coppell, but her group has offices in Flower Mound and Lewisville as well. I'm certain you wouldn't be disappointed with her. if you'd like you can check out their webiste at mdpedi.com.
Not sure what insurance you have-or what kinds they take. We use a ped's office in Irving- the office building attached to Baylor Medical Center @ (Irving) and absolutely LOVE IT! I've been to various pediatricians around the metroplex and this is the only one I have ever loved! Amazing doctors who actually have kids themselves! Debbie- a Nurse Practitioner, and my favorite!- is awesome. Very real- and down to earth! Worth at least one try! ###-###-####.
Hope this helps!

I see that you live in Keller. Our pediatrician is Dr. Bruce Eckel at Cook Children's in Denton. He is wonderful....very playful with the kids and very informative for parents.
Alliance Pediatrics- Dr. Bruce Martin! We love him so much that we've followed him through a move from Bedford to Keller! It's a bit of a drive for me now but a good doctor is worth it! He really does care, his wife works at the office also, and he has extended hours!
