Hello Mammas,

Since we are still fairly new to the East Valley living here in QC. I was wondering if anyone could offer their opinion of two Family Prac. Offices that we have come across. They are located on Rittenhouse & Ocotillo in a pretty big Business Complex with several different types of Medical Offices in including Dental Offices. The first one I want to ask about is TLC Family Medicine (Dr. Kimberly I. Moise, FNP-BC forgot what the BC stands for) and a few doors from that office is "Jensen Family Medicine" I believe. I can not remember exactly but I know it was Family Medicine and the name was "Jensen". Any Moms out there taken their family to either of the two? or heard anything- Good or Bad??

I walked into both and was not very impressed that TLC had no website or anything to give me on the Dr.'s that worked there. I don't know if its just me but in CA almost every Peds. Office I knew of had a website or something on the Dr.'s to say or hand out when you walked in or called. They seem to care less whether I brought my family there or not. I was also surprised that they did not have a separation for sick and well patients. I realize that it may only take place with most Ped. offices.

Now when I went into Jensen Family Medicine. I got a totally different feel and it seemed a lot more personable and professional. I also saw families inside waiting where I did not at TLC on that particular day and time that I was there.

I have always taken my kids to a very good reputable Pediatric Office however I thought since my husband and I were also looking for ourselves (my husband needs to see someone right now!)we would hit several birds with one stone so to speak and just go to a Family Prac. for the whole family. But if anyone has any good Family Doctors to recommend or Pediatricians(I prefer a Female especially for my daughter) not too far from Queen Creek especially open to alternative medicine and "Open to no vaccinations" my husband and I would greatly appreciate it. My husband has several medical issues such as Diabetes and we still have to find some Specialist for him like a good Cardiologist and Endocrinoloigist.

So Mammas, any and all help would be appreciated. I have relied on so much of your recommendations in the past I'm not about to stop when it comes to my family's welfare.

Thanks again!
A.

We take our kids to Dr. Kendra Hall with East Valley Pediatrics. Her office is located on Power between Pecos and Germann. (cant remember the name of the street) It is a light though, its on the west side of power in the buildings behind the Circle K. I have been going there since my first son was born and he is 13, they are great. Dr. Hall is wonderful and i wouldnt go anywhere else, in fact i have followed her to every office she has gone to over the years. Good Luck!

Hi A.,
I live in Queen Creek also. I would second the recommendation for Desert Shores Pediatrics. They are wonderful! We've been going there for about 2 1/2 years and have yet to have anything but great experiences.
I recently started going to Dr. Jensen at Jensen Family Medicine - I REALLY LIKE HIM. We needed to find a new family practice doctor because our old doctor just up and stopped accepting our insurance. Dr. Jensen took a lot of time with me, was very thorough, very kind and really seemed to genuinely care and know what he was talking about. His office staff were also very nice. I would highly recommend him based on my recent experience. My husband and I will continue to go to him, but I prefer to take my kids to a pediatrician.
And...my husband is also diabetic. He just started seeing an endocrinologist named Joseph Gutman. His clinic is called Diabetes America, I think and it's on Ray Rd. or Chandler Blvd. and the 101. It's a bit of a drive, but my husband really liked him and the staff there as well.
Best of luck to you!

Hi A. - I am also looking for a pediatrician as I am expecting my first child in late July. I've done some research and I'm 99% sure I'm going to go with Desert Shores Pediatrics. It sounds like they might be a fit for what you are looking for. They do have a website you could check out http://www.desertshorespediatrics.com/, several of my neighbors use them and are extremely happy with them. I was impressed with the office, staff, and am attending a prenatal open house in a couple of weeks. They are on Chandler Heights between Power and Higley - not too far from you I don't think.
As for a family doctors I'd love to help but ours is off of McClintock & the 60 and I think you want something closer. Not sure what your husband needs but we also go to Power Ranch Chiropractic on Pecos and LOVE them!
Good luck!
B.

I love Dr Jensen for my husband and I. Even when they are busy you don't feel rushed and I feel that he genuinely cares. Nice staff too.

We have a 3 1/2 yr old son and one on the way and have been using Desert Shores Pediatrics since my son was born. We love everyone there and couldn't be happier. We see Dr Allred(she is my favorite), but even when I had to see someone quickly I was not disappointed in the other physicians there. They have a separate entrance and area for sick patients which is appreciated. Just can't say enough good things about them. Hope this helps!

Hi A.!

Welcome to Queen Creek! I am in the area as well and know exactly what you're talking about!

We take our boys to JJ Pediatrics on Rittenhouse and Ocotillo, same center as the urgent care and we LOVE it! I am a first time mom so I had 8 million questions. Dr. Harkl and his staff never rushed me out of the office, or got frustrated with all of my questions. He takes the time to sit down with you and explain everything thoroughly so that you understand. PLUS, I love that he is not into over medicating my babies! He doesn't write out a prescription just because he can! They also have a website :)

We own Serenity Massage & Tan here in QC - so stop by and say hi! Welcome!
