Seeking Good Pediatrician in Mid-Cities Area.

We currently like our Pediatrician(s) in Keller but the problem is we have a very hard time getting an appointment with the actual doctors. I think the practice is just growing quicker than they expected so we usually settle for seeing the nurse practicioner...which isn't bad but once I find a doctor I like I prefer to see them every time. Plus, I think it is better for my daughter if she gets used to seeing the same person when we go instead of having someone different every time. I even tried calling a month in advance to schedule my daughter's 2 year appointment and the 2 pediatricians I like to see are both booked up for that month. I settled for one of the other doctors for now just so she would have an appointment with an actual doctor instead of the nurse. (They currently have 4 Pediatricians at that office and are adding another soon). Does anyone else have this trouble with their pediatrician? If this is a normal thing then I guess I'll just stick with this practice but if not I'd really like your suggestions for another good pediatrician in the Mid-Cities area that isn't so busy. Thank you!!!!

What can I do next?

which pediatrician do you see now? my 2 youngest go to Dr Benzick in Southlake/Keller. Love him, the other docs are ok, and yes, sometimes it's not guaranteed that he'll have a sick appt slot avail when we need to go in. I tell them when I call, I want to see HIM, sometimes they work it out, sometimes I have to wait a day, but I agree, I want my kids to see the same doc, for me esp since they both have Down Syndrome.
My 7 yr son goes to Dr Song Lee in Colleyville (close to Market Street off 26) - he's very proactive and we've been happy with him also.~d

Good morning. The pediatricians with Cook's in Hurst are great! Whenever one of my sons are sick, I call and we are usually seen within the hour. Never had problem's scheduling well child exams either. They have a few doctors in the same office, but 95% of the time we still will see ours. Dr. Lopez and Dr. Adams are superb! They are located on Martin Drive, just off of Precinct Line. Office number is ###-###-####.

Good Luck!

Hi Alecia,

John Dalton, MD is our pediatrician and he is located in Hurst ###-###-####). I have a nine month old baby boy and have never have a problem getting an appointment. My son had his nine month check on Monday and we waited maybe 10 minutes in the waiting room and maybe two minutes before Dr. Dalton arrived. He likes to get his patients in and out in about one hour, however you do not feel rushed through your appointment.

SAHM to a beautiful baby boy.

Well, it looks like our pediatrician is a popular guy! It is Dr. John Dalton at Cooks Children's in Hurst. Like the other person said, I never have a problem getting in. Actually, the other day I called because my daughter had a cough that wasn't getting better and I was going to make an appt for the next day since it was already 2:00. They were able to get me in that day. Both of my kids have asthma and they are really good about kids with that. I have referred so many people to him and everyone has loved him. They are taking new patients too! Give them a call!

We previously had the same problems with a ped. in Euless, but if I told the desk that I wanted to see only him, I could get an appt.
We changed docs about 8 months ago and really like our new one. I can get an appt. within a week or less, and have never seen a PA or Nurse pract. with him. His name is David Johnson, MD, with Southlake Family Medicine. They're on Southlake Blvd in the Timarron shopping center, so it's close to Keller. I've also heard good things about the other ped in the practice.
Good luck!

Dear Alecia,

I go to Dr. Yok at Cook's Children's in Keller (Rufe Snow @ Keller Parkway). I really like her and she's really good with the kids. She's new there so she's still building her business. I've never had trouble getting in to see her.

The only thing I didn't like about her was she's not too up on alternative care such as chiropractic. But then, I've known a pediatrician who was.

Hope this helps.

Blessings,
A. S.
