Good Family Physician for a Regular Saturday Office Visit? Does This Exist???

Not all pediatricians have hours that end at 4P on weekdays. My husband could never go to an appmt during work hours so I found Pediatric Associates of Dallas http://www.padnewsletter.com/. They have late night hours till 9P and Saturdays too. It's real hard to get a regular appmt on a Sat though. They have a Dallas and Plano location. We use Dr. Dreiling and think he and the staff are all easy to talk with and provide a comfortable atmosphere.

Hi C.-

We used to go to Firewheel Family Practice over in Sachse. It is off Hwy. 78 almost to George Bush, so it shouldnt be too far for you. I believe they are open every Sat. from 8-12. They charge the normal co-pay. We have since moved so we no longer go there. They are not a pediatric office, but if your daughter has an ear infection, something like that, then at least you could get the meds and gets started on them. If you really like your DR. I would keep going to him and then just use Firewheel as the back-up for Sat. illnesses unless you find that you like Firewheel better!

Yes, my doctors office has saturday hours - North Dallas Pediatrics. They have Saturday hours in their Plano office only. Also there is a company called After Hours Pediatrics that runs till 11 pm on weekdays. Check them out.

I've been to my doctor on a Saturday before, and from what I understand, he will see you on Saturdays for the same price (they rotate between the few doctors in the practice for weekend services). I really like him. He is located at Caruth and 75 though in Dallas. His name is Dr. William H. Moore ###-###-####. He also answers all after-hour phone calls directly from him cell phone--no answering service--unless he's out for some reason (only about 5% of the after hours calls).
