I take my daughter to Pediatric Care North located off of Platte Purchase Dr. It is about 5 mins away from Metro North Mall. They have approximately 7 female doctors there and my daughter sees Dr. Laurie Riddell. I have met several of the other Dr's and they all have been wonderful. They also have Saturday hours. Good Luck!

Hi S. - I am always excited to tell people about the Gashland clinic. They are a family clinic and such a wonderful place to depend on for your entire families healthcare needs. We see Dr DiBernardo and have since 1999. He doesn't accept new patients at this point but there are 2 female drs. there that he recommends. Dr Albers or Dr Keeton. We have seen several of the doctors in the practice at one time or another and have always been pleased. It is easy to get in to be seen, they call you back if you call with a question, it is just a great place. They are located at 95th and N. Oak You can go to Gashlandclinic.com for more info. I have recommended so many people and all of our friends now go there as well. Good luck. I know it is important to find someone good to take care of your little ones.

I'm not sure where in the Northalnd you might be. We've taken our 4yr old to Pediatric Care North since she was a newborn and have had nothing but an awesome experience. Once our 2nd one is born in April, she'll be going there as well.
They're a group of female Drs. All of them are moms and they only work part-time. They just moved to a beautiful new facility off of Barry Road, on North Platte Purchase Dr. Their phone number is ###-###-####.

Kristen Jacobs (Northland Pediatrics ###-###-####) is AMAZING! My kids love her and you can tell she loves what she does. She remembers everything about them when we go in. She gives great advice and lots of helpful explanations/information. THeir office is next door to NKC Hospital, there are 4 or 5 other docs in the practice too which makes it easy to get in for same day appointments when baby is sick. I've seen all the other docs at least one time each and they are also very nice, professional, helpful. Dr. Baysa-Ng in the office comes a close second to Dr. Jacobs--we just love her! :)

I highly recommend Dr. Fatima Mirza - she is wonderful. We have four children ages 15 down to 3 and we have used her since the day our oldest was born. I prefer small or private practices so we aren't just a number, but a person who is actually known by their physician, that way they know their history and who they are. She is very helpful about all issues, caring, friendly and does gets to know you. For instance, she always asks (by name) about our other children who aren't with me on a visit (sometimes just as simple as "how/where is Maddie today" or "is Maddie doing O.K. with the ear drops?" - even things about their life, "did Morgan's audtion go well?") . . . and one very important thing to me is she talks to the children, not just me. Also, she does take after hours calls for questions/problems that cannot wait until the next office day. Her number is ###-###-####. I have several friends who switched from larger practices to her several years ago and are still there. Our oldest daughter has even commented that she wishes Dr. Mirza took adult patients because she doesn't want to have to change physicians when she is no longer a "pediatric patient". I wish you the best!

Try Northland Pedidiatric (I think thats what its called) 152 and Platte Purchase. We've used two woman dr's in the practice and loved them both. Dr Hauptman and Dr Rijohas (probably misspelled both lol)

I have also heard good things about both Pediatric Care North and Dr. Mizra. If these don't work out or if Liberty is closer to you try Healthcare for Children (Dr. John Hertenstein ###-###-####. I am the mother of 4 and have never had a doctor who is more caring--willing to take time, willing to give advice over the phone (from you can treat it yourself to go to the emergency room). They also have Saturday hours.
