Hi. I know that I am late responding to this but my boys both go to Island Coast Pediatrics. They are awesome. When my oldest was born I had NO idea of who I would take him to. Then one of the PAs came in to check on my son. He was soooo nice and I knew that he was the Dr for my sons. I request him when I schedule an appointment and if I have to bring either of my boys in for a "sick appointment" they do their best to have Vince look at my son. My boys are 11 and 8. https://www.islandcoastpeds.com

Welcome to Florida, T.!
I have been living in the Cape Coral area now for Four years this Memorial Day weekend.
I have two children, ages almost 5 and 3 yrs old.
My childrens' Peds is MacKoul Pediatrics. They have two offices, one in Cape Coral, off of Del Prado BLVD and the other in Ft. Myers.
The # for Ft. Myers office is ###-###-####
They will ask you what insurance, if any, you carry.
I have to say, that I have had only WONDERFUL experiences with their Doctors, David and Annette MacKoul, and Dr. Jones.
The nurses are extra special! They all take you and your child's lives seriously and never turn you away or schluff you off.
And the one thing i love about these offices is that they are open late, and they are open during certain hours on Saturday!
Good luck!

Hey T.-
I have researched this one since I had a bad experience with my 1st. I see Dr. Martin Sherman at Associates in Pediatrics. He goes above and beyond to take good care of my children. You can ALWAYS get in same day appointments with someone on his staff, and his entire staff is friendly and caring. He has called me at home, and I have called him after hours. he has always been there for me and my kids. I am currently going through a divorce after 15 years and it has not been easy. it is so nice to know however, that my kids are in great hands. he has been awarded the best pediatrician award through "gulfshore life" on several occasions. he truly is the best, and I feel fortunate to have him as my childrens physician. his # is ###-###-#### and his office is located on 41 just north of page field airport. He actually has 4 offices in the area- good luck- hope this helps!!!!

I also reccomend Island Coast Pediatrics. Since there are multiple physicians in the group, you can choose whomever you feel most comfortable with. I love Dr. Tereasa Stevens. She is amazing. My kids are 7 and 4 and have been seeing them most all of their lives. Our first two peds were awful (Dr.Del Valle and Dr.Morales both get a big NO from me) Anyhow, because there are so many physicians, there is NEVER a time when you cannot get seen for a same day sick child appointment. AND they have Saturday hours. AND two different locations. One in Fort Myers and one in Cape Coral. They offer two waiting rooms so that the sick kids are separate from the well kids. I've never had any problems with the office staff. And the nurses are just the sweetest. They even know my kids by name. One other big thing for me was when i lost my insurance, Dr.Stevens was kind enough to charge me less and tried her hardest to give me samples of the prescriptions we needed so i wouldnt have to pay out of pocket for those as well. We have been seeing them for 7 years now and i would never go anywhere else.

We see Dr. Sherman in Fort Myers. He is AWESOME! The number is ###-###-####. We can always get in to another dr in the practice for sick visits. My daughter is 6, and we have never had a negative experience there.
