Benchmark office is in Rowlett and they have several doctors to choose from. We go to Dr. Myer, but I have heard great things about Dr. Allen as well. They are family doctors and have extended hours. Good Luck!

If you child has Medicaid I have a lady in our Office in Mesquite with Health and Human Services that helps with Doctors referrals. (Aurora Duncan) You can also call the Medicaid Hotline (1-800-252-8263.
Here is a web site to verify if the doctor has had a malpractice or anything reported against him, but you must call Dr's office to get Dr's license # to be able to view information on that certain doctor. If you have any questions I work in the Mesquite HHSC (972/681-9778 ext 253

I take my son's to Trinity Pediatrics in Plano and see Dr Hector Hidalgo which I have known since I was 14 when I babysat his kids. He started seeing my oldest when we moved back to Texas from California when he was 3 months and he started seeing my youngest when he was born and he REALLY has a Heart of Gold.
I Truely LOVE him and his staff.
He is located in Plano near Communications and Parker Rd.

I hope this helps.

Hi T.,
The docter we have is AWESOME, he's name id Dr. Chris A Clark and he's located in Richardson right next to Richardson Medical Center(formaly BAylor Richardson) He used to a Pedi dr but switch practices and is a Family dr. He will take he time with you and let you ask any and all questions and when youleave you won't have that feeling of being rushed like most dr's. Also he even calls you at home to make sure everything is going good and to make sure if you need anything else. I've had him since my twins wre born and then my last baby. He was also voted doctor of the year for the City of Richardson as well. His number is ###-###-####. I can't express how my family feels about Dr.Clark. when my husband & I were looking for new health insurance he had to be on the plan if not we looked for another health insuarnce. So that has to say alot of what we think of our family dr... Good luck in deciding a dr for your babies. D.

Hi I am not from around there, but I have been on medicaid and it is really hard finding a good doctor. My advice is to look at the back of your medicaid card there is a one eight hundred number for Benefits/policys call that give them you information and they can send you a list of qualifying pediatritions in your area. And sometimes if your in a knew location they will let you see different doctors on your pcp plan for a short time. Look at your list of providers and make an appointment with a doctor if you like that doctor stay with them, if not try the another. Everyone has a different opinion of who's a gtood doctor the best way to find out is to meet the doctor before your stuck with them as a primary. Good luck wish you the best.
