Moving soon to DeRidder and need some help! My kids are ages 10, 9 and 2. My girls are going to 4th and 5th grade. They were involved in competition swim and gymnastics....
I'm not sure about swim and gymnastics, but as for dentist, I would recommend Dr. Shirley, and for pediatrician Dr. Crowe. Dr crowe is in leesville, but well worth the drive. I will send you a link to the Pine Wood Friends and family group since that is the school your daughters will be attending.

Contact swimsational in sulphur, they can help you figure out the swim competitions, also gymnastics ect also has a gym in sulphur. My kids go to Dr Moses in lake Charles, and we love him
Dianne A. replied:
I would recommend David Shirley owner of Fencemakers for your fence. He put up a fence for us. His wife is also one of the best teachers at Pinewood where your children will attend school.
Stephanie W. replied:
William Cole does tumbling/cheer I believe here in Deridder. Swimsational in sulphur may know about swim teams around the area.
Fencemakers 375-4747 great guy and great prices. He is on fb. Dance studio in town. No competition swim. There are a few gymnastic places. Someone leases jump city and there is twist n shout in newton, tx i think.

Hali Navarre has a great competition cheer program. 15 miles south of DeRidder. Also does tumbling. https://www.facebook.com/South-Beauregard-Elite-488897934574472/

Dr Shirley in Deridder
Ashlee H. replied:
We use Dr. Maskas in DeRidder. Not sure what insurance he accepts, but we like them though. I found out last week from my orthodontist (I see Dr. Dicarlo in Sulphur for that), that I have to see an oral surgeon to have my wisdom teeth removed - they are growing side ways and fused to my jaw, and pushing my bottom teeth forward, so have to be removed. Dr. Maskas isn't an oral surgeon, so we are having to look for one. The closest one to us that accepts our insurance listed on our insurance website is in Shreveport or Baton Rough, but mom is checking to see if some in Lake Charles may accept our insurance anyways (just not listed on their website.)
Who is a good dentist around here for children? My three year old is in need of his first dental appointment.
Tiffany G. replied:
The younger Dr. Shirley was very patient with my 2 1/2 year old.:-)
Stacey S. replied:
My boys have no issue with Dr Maskas
Lacy B. replied:
463-3272 here is the number to doctor Lestage if your interested.
Tiffany G. replied:
Deborah, the last time I asked, children had to be 5 or older at Dr. Lestage's practice. However, that was when Dr. Fisher was still alive. Have they changed it? If so, I would also recommend him.:-)
Tiffany G. replied:
Aretha Garner Hohn, when I was at Dr. Shirley's office last week, I think the ladies at the front desk said that August is booked. I would call them and ask, though. 337-463-3036. Every time I called Dr. Lestage, it was a minimum of 2 weeks before they could see my children and I.
Dana H. replied:
Dr Moses in Lake Charles is awesome if they are too young for local dentist.

We use Dr. Lestage and love him! He is great with all my girls!
Tiffany G. replied:
I loved Dr. LeStage. However, if your child needs teeth removed like my children did, he will refer you to someone in Lake Charles. Only reason we switched is because he is out of network for our insurance.

Tiffany G. replied:
Between Lestage and the Dr. Shirley dentistry, you really can't go wrong. I like both dentistries. (However, if your child is under 8 and requires a tooth to be pulled, Lestage will refer you to a pediatric dentist.) We were with Lestage for quite awhile, but our insurance put them in the 'out of network' category and we had to switch to Dr. Shirley(s). They both really calmed my fears of switching.:-)

West LA Dental in Leesville

Oops, Alexandria Pediatric Dentistry:)
Lori L. replied:
West LA Dental in leesville. They are the only ones who have ever called to check on my kids after having dental work done. We use to go to bippo the hippo (Dr Brasher) in Alexandria but they don't let you go back with your kids. Something must've happened because after our last visit my kids didn't want to go back there.

Amanda J. replied:
I highly recommend Dr. Shirley. Their office comes with an incredible amount of recommendations. Please do not use Dr. Robinson unless you have no choice. As a former patient there, I can't begin to tell you the issues I had with them. From "hidden charges" coming up on bills, to them "mysteriously" finding things wrong during procedures, that had previously been checked for and "not found". In fact, I have an appointment for my 3 kids today with Dr. Shirley's office. I'm willing to drive the 42 mins to their office just so I don't have to use Acadiana Dental OR Robinson Dental in Lake Charles.
Dr. Shirley was absolutely amazing! The older one works on adults and his son works on kids. He did an amazing job repairing a filling of mine that had worn down and his son did great cleaning my toddlers' teeth for the first time. Made us all feel at ease and the staff was very professional and caring! Great experience all around.
