My family and I just moved to SC from CT. We briefly lived in Mt. Pleasant and now are settling down in Summerville. I am looking for any information you can share about your suggestions and experiences with daycare/preschools, pediatricians, obgyns, moms groups/mommy and me classes, dentists, and family doctors for my husband and I. Thank you for your time.

What can I do next?

Welcome to the area!
I take my daughter to Flowertown Family Physicians, and she see's either Dr. Mallin or Dr. Stauffer. They are pretty good, and located right on Main Street here in Summerville. And since they are family physicians you and your hubby can go there too! The number for them is ###-###-####.
As far as dentists goes, my hubby loves James McClary here in Summerville as well. My hubby has very sensitive teeth and he says they are wonderful, they are located on Pine Street, and their number is ###-###-####.
I also wanted to let you know that I have a Moms/playgroup listed on Yahoo groups, and we are always looking for other mommies and kiddies to get to know! If you're interested the link is:

Welcome D.!:) I go to Palmetto Primary Care Physicians and see Dr. Tara Vandegrift. She is very sweet, and will take time to answer all of your questions.

My ped is on Old Trolley Road, Dr. Jon Pense. He is great, but Jerry did see Dr. Tillman at Oakbrook Peds too, and they were really great!

Don't know much about daycares in Summerville, although I think Gateway and Sunshine House are both pretty good.:)

I take my daughter to Charleston Pediatriacs. She is 10 months old, and Drs. Quattelbaum, Sperry, and Stapelton have been her doctors since she was born. I am very happy with them. They have wonderful bedside manner and are great at explaining things to me too. Lowcountry OB/GYN was the practice that took care of me while I was pregnant. Dr. Osborne was my doctor, and he is a very good doctor, but sometimes lacking in bedside manner. Dr.Caroline Felty and Molly Joseph saw me while I was pregnant also, and they were very nice. The whole practice seems good. I don't know anything about daycares in Summerville, but if you would ike info on West Ashely daycares, let me know.
