Dr.Moody!! She is great, when my son was a baby she was the only that figured out he had asthma, she would even meet me at the hospital in emergency situations after hours!! LOVE HER!
Amanda O. replied:
I really love Dr. Nelson Obikwu also! Even thought he insisted that I could not be Bub's mother because "he looks nothing like me." Ha! Ha!

Dr. Nelson has always been spot on and great with the kiddos!
Brooke H. replied:
We used Dr. Moody right after Brax was born.... she doesnt hesitate to send them over to the hospital if she senses pneumonia or RSV... she earned my respect when Brax was 4 weeks old...not to mention when Braxton was premature I would panic everytime about small things and she was always quick to remind me I was a new parent and its better to be to careful than not act at all...
Stan G. replied:
I've used Dr Moody for 12 years. We love her!!! And I'm overly protective and cautious with my kids!!!

Was wondering who is a good pediatrician here in the batesville area?
Sarah A. replied:
Dr OBrien is excellent. I have dealt with him on many occasions.
Alex G. replied:
Dr. White is incredible.
Hope M. replied:
I would NOT recommend Dr. O'Brien. Sorry Cassie, but even though I use him for both of my girls, he's old, out-dated, and stuck in his ways. He refused to send my daughter to a specialist even when her school recommended it
DjandDonna D. replied:
They are all good doctors. When you're in the hospital having your baby, you can choose Dr Swift for once you're discharged, but Dr Moody would be your baby's doc while in the hospital. Dr Moody and Dr White are in the clinic together, in the same building as Dr O'Brien, and then there is Dr Williams. So you have 5 to choose from.
I need advice on a good pediatrician or regular doctor. The one I use is out of town for 2-3 weeks and isn't able to see anyone and my daughter needs to be seen for...
Rebecca M. replied:
Try Dr Melody Moody

Tiffiany B. replied:
Dr White at children's clinic!
Tia S. replied:
Dr. Kris Nwokeji in Newport!!
Amy M. replied:
Dr. White or Dr. Moody,at the Children's clinic are two excellent doctors.
Erica H. replied:
See doctor Moody was nice. However I had issues with the receptionist. And also had issues with waiting to be seen. I had a appointment set for 1:00 pm. And I checked in... However they refused to call me back. I waited for over 3 hours and people that came in after me... Got seen before me. And after that appointment I went elsewhere. I now see Dr Kris in Newport. He is amazing and all of the staff is friendly. And the longest time I had to wait was 30 mins.
Robin H. replied:
Both of my children had heart murmurs undetected by both moody and white. We use Dr. Kris Nwokeji and love him to pieces. The staff is awesome, the wait isn't horrible, and they are seen the same day every time my children are sick and they are always seen by him. We also had problems with the receptionist being rude with us at Moody's office(the children's clinic) and she could never see them on the day they were sick.
Lexi F. replied:
Dr White scheduled my son for his circumcision a week after he was born. We get to the appointment and she schedules it for 2 weeks later knowing that we were there that day for him to get it done. My son is also anemic, like me, so he needed a special formula in order to not projectile vomit everywhere. She would not write a script for that special formula, so she recommended 2 other formulas. Everything else made him constipated. We moved and he got the formula he needed no questions asked.
Hope M. replied:
Just remember, you are going to get good and bad reviews on anything/anybody. Doctors are people too and can make mistakes. You just have to find the one you're comfortable with. That being said, I've heard Moody is good but always booked. We use the family clinic: Dr. Baker and Dr. Roulier
Wally V. replied:
Christy Marsh we have used Dr Melody Moody for years. She is Amazing. This is Debbie
Robin S. replied:
Love Dr. Robin Williams
Leslie C. replied:
Dr Kris Nwokeji at Unity Health Pediatric Clinic in Newporr. He will work you in same day your child is sick. Very friendly and professional staff. Short wait time but very thorough.
Jessica S. replied:
We use Dr. White and love her.
Kristen C. replied:
I'd avoid Batesville at all costs. We go to searcy now, with Dr. Ben Wilkins. Short wait, friendly staff, and he's awesome!
Shianna N. replied:
Dr. White is the sweetest!
Katie C. replied:
I would not recommend Dr. White. She almost killed my daughter. She ended up having to be hospitalized for 4 days due to the neglect or negligence of her.
Karla C. replied:
I love Dr. White she is my baby girls doctor and she is extremely awesome. She also trained at Arkansas Children's Hospital! She is very thorough and doesn't just rush through her patients. She will sit and listen instead of just jumping to rush you off!
Kristi T. replied:

Jessica G. replied:
We use the children's clinic in Batesville, and have seen all three doctors there. Dr. White is our primary and we love her.
Stephanie H. replied:
Dr White caught my daughter's RSV when the emergency room didn't. We love her! She's very thorough and personable.
Katie C. replied:
Yes, when you don't have problems, she is very friendly. We really liked her until she almost killed my daughter. She came from Childrens Hospital is why I chose her... little did I know that she was asked to leave for doing something similar to what she did to my child.
I don't know much about any of the pediatricians in batesville and was just wondering who people would or would not recommend?
Katie G. replied:
We love Dr. Moody at the children's clinic. When my son gets sick they always get him in that day. Some people have good experiences and some have bad. I know the staff at the children's clinic cares about your children's well being. They take into account your opinion and listen to what you have to say.
Miranda H. replied:
Dr. Moody was good with my son. He had spit up issues she was very passionate.
Robin S. replied:
Love Dr. Robin Williams. She's personable, concerned, but not overly dramatic. She does a great job of reassuring you, and settling mom nerves, while never making you feel silly for a legitimate question.
Shamila M. replied:
Dr. White is amazing! I absolutely love her! So do my kiddos:)
Ashley B. replied:
Dr. Moody is amazing!
Amy L. replied:
We've used Dr Williams for years and love her
Kourtlynn H. replied:
Dr White has been so good to us! We love her! She's in the Children's Clinic with Moody!
Marie H. replied:
Dr. Robin Williams is awesome!
Jessica G. replied:
We use Dr. Swift at White River Diagnostic Clinic. She's great and easy to get into. She also has a waiting room area with toys so if you do have to wait the kids can play and watch tv.
Candise W. replied:
I use Doc Robin Williams (yes really, lol). I can normally get in quickly and she's really good with my daughter.
Any recommendations for a good pediatrician ? Had to leave Moody because she was never in when we needed her.. Changed over to a family doctor and that's not really...
Dee M. replied:
Dr. Swift is really good with kiddos
Tiffany C. replied:
I know it's a drive but we use Dr. David Matthews at the Children's Clinic in Jonesboro. They are open 6 days a week. They used to be open seven days a week. I have seen several doctors when we have taken Griffin in on sick call. I have yet to find one that disappointed me and I am extremely picky. Griffin had Dr Obrien until he was 16 months old and we switched. One time with Dr Matthews and we wish we would have had him from birth.
Karen T. replied:
We too switch from Dr. moody to Dr. Obrien because we could never get into Dr. Moody. I will say we love Dr. Obrien. We always can get in & the wait is never very long. I would recommend him!
Jeremy-Mary C. replied:
I use Dr. Ben Wilkins in Searcy. He is amazing and totally worth the drive. If he ever thinks your baby needs something, he just refers you straight to AR Childrens. No messing with WR Med center! Huge bonus in my book!
Jason H. replied:
We used to use Dr Obikwu. Didnt have to see him a lot, but he was very knowledgeable and sweet to kendall.
Brett M. replied:
Dr. O'brien is my uncle. He is highly recommended!
Susie M. replied:
I used Dr. O'Brien with both of our boys and he always took very good care of them. Hated to leave him when they were grown.
Is there anywhere else I can take my kids for checkups is pediatrician? I'm tired of waiting over an hour just for a check up....
Shirl A. replied:
Arcare, Mary Anderson, on Harrison st out by Cowboys bbq. She's a great family doctor.
Cassie D. replied:
Dr O'Brien is an amazing pediatrician!
Brandi V. replied:
I know the feeling i have four girls and they expect you to wait an hour or two just to be seen at Dr. Moodys office!! But the health dep. Usually gets us in and out within the hour
Anyone have tricare insurance for their babies? Does any pediatricians take it in Batesville or would I have to take my daughter to a ped in searcy?
Karissa S. replied:
Our family doesn't currently have Tricare, but when my husband was on Active duty orders and was deployed, we had Tricare. We used Dr. Melody Moody as her pediatrician and she accepted it.
Karissa S. replied:
I'm not sure really, but my husband is Reserves, but his status was considered "active" since he was deployed. We have Blue Cross/Blue Shield, so after the 90 days after deployment was up, we dropped Tri Care. It'd probably be best just to call around and see which Pediatrician takes your Tri Care plan.:)
Julie B. replied:
It's mainly depends on if you had prime or standard when you were in. Reserve select is very simular to standard. Dr. Obrien also takes tricare reserve ins. The diagnostic center also accepts our ins they have a pediatric dr and a family dr on staff there.
Does anyone know of a good pediatrician in Batesville?? Need to start looking for one...

Leta J. replied:
Melody Moody is awesome, best in batesville for sure. I have major issues with O'Brien
I switched to dr white when dr obrien closed. The first visit she found fluid in evie's ears that had been there a long time and was the reason for her speech delay. Her old pediatrician never saw it. I have taken her to children's since then for tubes and they said many times regular pediatricians don't spot fluid, and because there is no symptoms other than speech delay it goes unnoticed for a long time until an audiologist catches it. So, I was pretty impressed with Dr White. Because of her we caught it much earlier and were able to start working on getting it fixed quickly!
