Seeking a Pediatrician for My Kids

Hi L.,

I live not to far from Fishhawk, in Riverview. I have a 3 yr old boy and 2 yr old girl. Since they were born I've taken them to Pediatric Alliance in Brandon, near the hospital. They both were patients of Dr. Jeansonne. She seems a little serious but she is a caring doctor, who will LISTEN to you. The nurses there are great too. The only down fall was the waiting time and the parking. Both can be very stressful but I kept going b/c of how much I loved the Doctor. There's other fantastic doctors in that office as well.
However in the last year, they've opened up another Pediatric Alliance around the corner from me, with another Doctor. I decided to give it a try b/c now w/ two active children, I have to make things as easy as possible!! I gave it a try and really like it. No waiting time, convenient and the doctor is super!
I believe there is another office right off of Fishhawk blvd. I have never been to that office.
Here is the website w/ information and office location.

Hope this gives you some options to look into and good luck!

I love, love, love Dr Tappan at Pediatric Healthcare Alliance in Fishhawk. He's wonderful. They have evening and weekend hrs in the Brandon office as well.

Hello L.,
We moved to Fishhawk this past June and I found the BEST pediatrician in the world right in our neighborhood! Yes can you tell that I love her. It was very important for us to find a great Dr because our daughter has a sever heart defect and all sort of medical issues.
We see Dr. Becky Pruitt - Premier Care Pediatrics 16637 Fishhawk Blvd. Suite 101 Lithia FL 33547 P-###-###-#### If you pull into the driveway right next to the Taco Bell on Fishhawk Blvd (across from Newsome High School) and go straight back to a little area off the main road, you will see her office; it is right next to a daycare.
There are two Dr's in that office, Dr. Pruitt (female) and Dr. Menick (male) just in case you have a preference. I have a son 15 and a daughter 5, in May, and like I said earlier I have been nothing but pleased with both doctors (my son sees Dr. Menick because he is at that age where having a male Dr is better for him, if you know what I mean). If you see Dr. Pruitt let her know that Kaelyn's Mom sent you. Please feel free to e-mail me if you want any further info. ____@____.com I hope you like Fishhawk as much as we do!

We go to Kids First Pediatrics off of Lithia Pinecrest near Lithia Springs Elementary. Dr. Richards is in the practice by herself and she really knows all my kids well. They have always been able to get us in whenever we need it....which is too often with 4 kids!! Their number is ###-###-#### and Jackie is the front office person. Good luck.
