Hi. I am looking for a new pediatrician in the Keller/Saginaw/Watauga area that will give out prescriptions for ADHD. My pedi told me that they do not "deal" with that area of pediatrics. So he referred me to a child psychiatrist. The psychiatrist made the diagnosis, so I feel very comfortable with that. But he is the hardest doctor to try and get ahold of and make appointments with and get refills from....... so I was just wondering if there are any pediatricians out there that will handled refills for ADHD medication with a diagnosis from a psychiatrist. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much!!!!

What can I do next?

I am a Health Consultant in Hurst, TX. I work with many children with nutritional deficiencies. Some had actually been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD previously but symptoms went away as their diet changed. I would like to recommend an article that I just read over at the website of Dr Mercola MD. He has the most read health website in the US. Here is the link http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/1...
If I can be of any help feel free to call or email me. I wish you the best this holiday season.

I take my children to North Tarrant Family Practice. I like all the doctors there. They have prescribed ADHD medicine for my son in the past.
Good luck.

I second Kid Care Pediatrics. I started out with Dr. Omar Gomez, but saw Dr. Leffel on an emergency visit & LOVED her. My son is now 18 & I still love her. My son does also. Why can't I still take him there??? I might sneak him in. Just kidding. That's how much I love Dr. Leffel. I am a nurse, so I'm picky. I feel that she truly cares for her patients.

Happy Searching:)

I take my son to Dr. Terk at Cook Children's. It is on Keller Parkway and their # is ###-###-####. I was very impressed with him from our first visit. We relocated here and I needed a Dr. that knew about exercised induced asthma which most doctor's don't. Much to my surprise, when I explained my son's situation to him he knew exactly what I was talking about.

Unfortunately, my son is 14 and nearly to the point he needs to see an adult doctor. I really hate to leave Dr. Terk's practice. =( He is a wonderful doctor. Best of luck and let me know if you go see him.
