Looking for New Pediatrician - Lewisville, TX

I'm also really happy with Kids First Pediatrics. I really like all the docs-we've been there quite a bit lately! I also really like Missy-a nurse practitioner. She is also a breastfeeding educator. I had a baby in June & made my well baby checks intentionally with Missy b/c we had nursing issues & I think she did great! Twice, she did consult with a doctor on an issue. Also, I really like that they have two completely separate waiting rooms for well and sick kids.
They have a website-http://kidsfirstpediatrics.com/ and you can see the doctors & their bios.
Hope this helps!

M.,
I use Kid's First in Highland Village. All three doctor's are great. The number there is ###-###-####.

Hi, M.!
Our pedi is in Plano at Medical Center of Plano, and I know that won't be feasible for you, especially when the kids get sick...
But I did want to make a comment about your choice of a new pediatrician. If you have developed a relationship with the PA's in the office, then you should feel "well taken care of" with that respect. (From a personal as well as professional standpoint, I stand by our PA's.)

However, your feeling of "lack of organization" and your daughter's NEVER having seen her pediatrician is certainly cause for seeking a new pediatrician are certainly grouds for seeking a new doctor. Our son sees his NP's whenever he is not feeling well, but if there is something going on that they are not sure about, they find either one of the pediatricians and ASK. For his "well baby" visits, we certainly do see our pediatrician. (Occasionally, we will see our secondary pedi, but he is older, and we are very comfortable with him, as well.)

My 2nd piece of advice is to start looking for a female adolescent doctor, especially if your daughter has only recently or has *not* started her periods yet. And make sure your first appt with the pedi/adolescent dr is to "interview" the dr. You don't want to find out during an exam that your daughter is not comfortable with the dr. examining her!

HTH!

I second Kids First Pediatrics ###-###-####. They are awesome.

We use Dr. Kathryn Levy at Lake Lewisville Pediatrics. There are two other Dr's in the practice: Dr. Elhence and Dr. Ogden. www.llpediatrics.com

I was referred to Dr. Levy by my birth instructor three years ago. I called and set up a visit with Dr. Levy before the birth. She's awesome and now we've moved further away but I will stay with Lake Lewisville Pediatrics. Whenever I have a sick visit I can get in the same day. They also have Saturday hours for emergencies and sick visits only.

Hi M.,

I take my boys to Julia Hodge in Lewisville. Her office is in the Cook Children's Physicians Network - right next to the Super Target off I 35 & 3040 - ###-###-####. She has a great demeanor with the kids and her office and staff are great.

Good luck!

I live in Flower Mound and we go to Micheal McCoy he's in grapevine. About a 10-15 min drive but I love him so its worth it. He just moved Monday to a beautiful new office right across from Baylor Grapevine. ###-###-####
I've noticed alot of moms recomend him on this site. He is great with kids and has a great laid back sense of humor. Good Luck!
