Can anyone recommend a good pediatrician in this area? I'm due in February and need to start looking for one. If you do recommend one, can you tell me why you like him/her? Thanks!
Dr. Robert Higginbothom @ Pediatrics East is awesome!! I highly recommend him. He is a younger guy with a newborn of his own. Great with kids!! My girls love going to see him.
We've used Dr. Scott & Dr. Aguillard at Pediatrics East since my oldest, now 15, was a baby. We've been happy with their care there. :)
I don't know if it's in your area, but my son goes to Dr. Chris Hanson at Laurelwood Pediatrics. It's on Sanderlin @ Mendenhall. I love Dr. Hanson because he takes his time with every visit, makes sure that you understand everythign, allows you to ask questions, and never makes you feel like you're stupid. They have lots of games and books for the kids in the waiting room, separate rooms for sick kids and well kids, and coloring books, crayons, and books for kids in each exam room. The nurses are very sweet, patient, and great with kids. They don't hurry when taking measurements, and are very understanding. All over a great clinic.
Pediatric Consultants is a wonderful group. We love them so much. Their website is pedconsultants.com, check them out.
Hi!! I'm in the bartlett area, so I don't know if you are looking for something in Cordova or if you are willing to come to Bartlett. My 19 month old has been seeing Dr. Elisa Benaim at Pediatrics East in Bartlett. Actually, he's seen just about every doctor there at some point, but Dr. Benaim is his primary. She is awesome. Always listens, non judgemental,and has great advice on non medical issues such as sleeping. I think she's French (but I'm not sure about that) and she has a fun accent and crazy wild hair that Josh loves. All of the dr's at this practice are good. They also have other offices throughout memphis. The night clinic and weekend clinics have come in handy as well. Here is their website... they do have an office in Cordova (this is where the weekend clinic is)

I use Dr. Ragland at Raleigh Group. It is on Covington Pike.
They are GREAT. And open 7 days a week! I will never take my son elsewhere!
Pediatric consultants. I went through four pediatricians to find them. They are the only ones that when we come in they actually remember who we are and what is going on.
Our doc is Dr. Bubba (Lelon Edwards). He's with Pediatrics East and they have three or four offices. We like Dr. Bubba b/c he's down to earth, will tell you straight up what's going on, has kids on his own, uses a laptop for instant checking, but still uses good sense (doesn't prescribe meds if not needed). We also like the fact that they have after hours service for emergencies (until 9 pm) and week-end clinics Sat am and Sun pm. This has really helped us a lot. For the little immediate appointments we end up with another doc but they're all great.
I see Joel Kronenberg at Estate between Poplar & Park. I have 4 kids and he trusts my "mother" instinct. He's not too conservative or liberal in his approach.
i really like Dr. Benaim with pediatrics east. she has an accent though, i think french or spanish, but is very loving and nice. good luck. dr. montgomery is also in the group and really good. he's really layed back and calm. i saw him once at the childrens museum with his kids playing on the floor like any other dad, not at all "cocky" or "doctor-like".
David Ziebarth (Pediatric Physicians PC) is just wonderful! I LOVE LOVE LOVE him. What I like about him is that he is so down to earth. He has such a way with kids - my daughter just loves him although at 2 she can not really say his name. He doesn't talk down to you but doesn't act like he's some sort of genius either (I'm sure you know the type). His partners are wonderful as well - my daughter has seen both of them. And there are just the three doctors which I really like. He is located in Cordova which would be great for you!
I liked Dr. Saino, he is a little older but very nice. Any questions I had he answered them thoroughly. He was very loving towards my son, always smling and talking to him. He always asked at every visit if I had any questions or concerns and after he answered them, if his explination made sense. Also, Dr Zeibarth is also part of that group. He is younger and also very good, we saw him on a couple of occasions for sick visits. Dr. Snapp is also their partner and she was the one we saw in the hospital, I didn't care for her too much, but the other two I really liked. We have moved out of state now and don't use them any more, But when we were in Memphis, I loved them.
Pediatrics East on Walnut Run has some great doctors - Dr. Higginbotham is excellent. Also there is a Dr. Owen at the one in Bartlett & is great, too. Hope that helps.
Charles Yukon, MD is so awesome. I've taken both of my children there for over 5 yrs. I can't say enough good things about him! My children have never had an fears about going into his office. His nurse staff is over accomadating for any of your needs! I have sat in the waiting room ONE time in 5 years!!! Everytime I call I get a same day appointment and Dr. Charles will answer the phones if his nurses are busy!!! Again, I can't say enough good things about him and his awesome personality. He has great morals and teaches the kids to have great manners.
I hope you the right one for you,
D.
Dr. Saino is really the best one I have found. He practices in Cordova with Dr. Snapp and Dr. Ziebarth. My daughter has seen all three but Dr. Saino is the best hands down! He is very sweet and will answer any question without criticism.
