I am looking for a new pediatrician that is helpful in coming up with solutions. I have twins that are 3 and a 5 year old. One of our twins, has many health issues. She has been hospitalized 5 times since birth. Our pediatrican, was awsome, but had to close her practice. Yes I'm spoiled, I could call her anytime and talk to her. I have her cell phone and home phone #'s. She expected me to call when things were not right. Actually, I still do call her. Since her practice has closed, we are looking for a pediatrician to replace her. I have tried several, most look at me like I am crazy, when I tell them that my daughter does not tolerate oral antibiotics. Then the only suggestions I get are try this one, I don't think it will cause her to throw up. Then depending on the reason we were in to see the doctor we are much sicker after 24-36 hours on the antibiotics, that have been thrown up. This is one of the reasons that we have been in the hospital so many times. My daughter also has had an ovarian cysts and mrsa. She was a 28 week preemie.

If anyone has a suggestion of a good pediatrician please let me know.
Thanks

What can I do next?

We use Dr. Frank Martinez in Allen and LOVE him. I'm not sure if he has privileges at Childrens but know that he does at Medical Center Plano and it is a fantastic hospital. He came highly recommended to us from our Neonatologist in the NICU after our twins were born at 28 weeks too. He is an old fashioned doctor, but stays current on new practices and medicines and is not concerned like some doctors about growing his practice so large that he cant manage it himself.
He has nurses but does not have a Nurse Practitioner so every time you take your kiddos in or if you have him paged after hours you see or talk to him. When one of my girls was 9 mo. she got the Rotavirus and almost had to be hospitalized. We spent the whole day in his office so that he could come in every 30 minutes and check on her. He has also called us one night about 10 pm to check on us after we had been in earlier that day and has kept the office open at lunch to see us the day after my newborn baby boy was discharged from the hospital and his jaundice got worse. His # is ###-###-####. I hope this helps and good luck.

We use Dr. Menchaca at Pediatric Associates in McKinney. We also have twins that are 5 and one of ours had pneumonia 2 days after our son was born so my husband took an ambulance with our daughter to Medical City of Dallas and their pediatric ward was amazing! Dr. Menchaca highly recommended it and we love her. She even came to my hospital to check on me at 10 p.m. that night because I was in a different hospital recovering from a c-section with our son.

Since you are still in contact with your previous pediatrician, have you asked her for referals?

I used to go to Peciatric Place in Plano. I loved it there and hated changing DR's but my insurance changed to one they do not take. I am pretty sure they admit to Children's as this is where we were sent for MRI's.

I take my daughter to Monika Bhatia at Kiddie Docs off of McDermott in Allen. She is extremely nice and understanding. My daughter is 2 1/2 and she loves her-whicj is strange because she always hated the doctor, but Monika plays with her and she likes that!! Hope this helps!!:0)
