Hello everyone, I am here asking for parental advice. We are looking for a pediatrician. We have always been with Dr. Zerick. We are no longer happy there and wanted...
Dawn R. replied:
Dr. Darlene Moore - 5737566751 ext 3 then ext 2 She's very smart and extremely thorough!
Dr Amanda Regen off Tesson Ferry with Mercy has been wonderful with all three of my kids. We use to see Dr Z when my girls were younger but he always diagnosed them wrong.
Kathy M. replied:
I take mine to Donna Miller at Mercy Mercy Clinic Pediatrics - Medical Tower B they are awesome. And for my babies to have a good dr is worth the drive to st louis to me!
Lisa H. replied:
Not Hartel unless you want everything done "naturally" until your very worried or always want to be behind in your shots because they "ran out" and they knew that was one of the main reasons to be there. I heard Crystal Pediatrics was awesome.
Sarah T. replied:
Dr. Bodlt is good...I take my kids to dr nagireddi in festus
Crystal F. replied:
Had a really bad experience at Crystal City Pediatrics! Nancy Lodge is my daughters pediatrician! She is very nice, easy to get in for appts, I never have a wait!
Brian W. replied:

Philip G. replied:

Kimberly H. replied:
Dr. Ayyagari is spectacular! She is on 2 nd floor at parkland.

Dustin A. replied:
Dr Borchers at ladies first obgyn acrossed from mineral area. I don't like Zeriek for a year he say'd my son having bloody stool was normal till I got a second opinion from children's er. Well it wasn't normal and he had to have a cholonoscopy and come to find out they thought my son may have cancer it come back benign but my son has a rare syndrome called juvenile polyposis syndrome and has a 75 percent chance of getting cancer and has to see a genetic speacialist. Were waiting on the genetic testing to determine weather he needs his colon removed.
Troy M. replied:
We take our 14 month old boy to Dr. Klaus. We have for several months and I am very particular with his care and I am happy with her.
Angie G. replied:
LOVE Dr. Nagireddi in Festus!!
Reva H. replied:
I have taken all five of my kids to Dr. Ayyagari at Parkland.
Angie E. replied:
Wouldn't waste my time at Crystal City Pediatrics....just my opinion. Had a bad experience with them.
Amber S. replied:
Dr. Rudolf at crystal city pediatrics in farmington
Kim C. replied:
Her name is Melinda Fischer.
Cheryl G. replied:
I have to agree with Kayla Wells. Dr. Zereik has seen all 4 of my kids and several relatives and I had the best care for them. I find it hard to believe that he doesn't like Childrens Hospital, because he has sent all 4 of mine there. My daughter had to have heart surgery and guess where he sent her? Childrens Hospital! There is good in bad in everyone but I highly recommend Dr. Zereil! My kids like Dr. Zereik so well that he has seen my oldest son until he turn 21 and my daughter is going to be 20 in September and he still see her. Just saying! Give credit where credit is due!
Jessica B. replied:
I guess since everyone is telling their stories ill share mine... my first nephew (patient of Dr. Killions) passed away due to mistakes made at MARMC when i got pregnant i chose Dr. Moore my sister for her second child chose Dr. Kornhart. When my daughter turned 2 i was pregnant again and looking for a new Dr for my kids Moore was medicating my baby girl for everything and wasnt doing as well handling her. My sister recommended Dr. Kornhardt to me i switched and have never regretted it her twins are my middle child's age i can ask her her opinion as a Dr or as a parent and she cares she knows my children she knows their usual illnesses she's not just a doctor she truly cares about her patients and their families. My children are all now happy healthy and not constantly on meds. Her counter Dr. Aragaryi (sp) is just as amazing. I recommend them to everyone i speak to and I've yet to hear bad things!
Jill R. replied:
I personally don't recommend Dr. Moore. I hate when a dr (that doesn't have any children) looks at you and snidely asks you if you are a first time mom. In context, I took my daughter to her for her follow up apt after birth because I thought I would try her. I felt like she was teething. I know it is silly, a newborn, but she laughed in my face. Well, at her 6 week check up, she had 2 teeth!!!!! She didn't even look at her gums. That is my personal experience with Dr. Moore. I prefer someone that will listen objectively and consider all circumstances. Thankfully it wasn't involving a serious medical issue.
Larry J. replied:
Crystal City Pediatrics is terrible in my opinion. My son has been misdiagnosed time after time with them, however my ex-wife has chosen to take my son there and I have to jump through hoops to get a change. Avoid if possible. And as far as hospitals, I agree to the people above about Mineral Area, I wouldn't take my hamster there, much less any of my loved ones! They've got so many issues it's unbelievable.
Jaimie B. replied:
My son sees Dr. Ayyagari and has since the day he was born. I have no complaints about her. She will answer any questions you have and discuss anything at all you are concerned with.
Rebecca P. replied:
didn't care for all of the dr's at crystal city ped.'s and u never knew which one we'd get. love dr. Zeriek but rarely get to see him anymore. he is always out o the office. we have seen dr. lodge alot lately. She is great too. Love Mercy pediatrics at St. Johns they were just so far.
Debbie N. replied:
my granddaughter takes her baby to Dr. Kornhardt and she really likes her
Liz P. replied:
Boy, I could add some stories to the ones about Dr Zeriek..he is in my opinion one of the worst Dr's I have ever been to. With my first daughter when she was 6 weeks old she wouldn't eat, terrible gas, vomiting/spitting up..he told me this was normal and I was a first time mother who was making things up. All this after I had waited 2 1/2 hours to see him..
Heather R. replied:
I swear by Dr. Sujatha Ayyagari and Dr. Jeannie Kornhardt at the Medical Arts Clinic at Parkland. My boys have seen them since they were born. If I can't get my boys in with either of them, I try to get them in with Misty Shaw, who is my doctor.
Diana T. replied:
Dr. Jeanne Kornhardt at Parkland is awesome, has been my daughter's since she was born and she is almost 12 now
Jill R. replied:
We have used Dr. Jeanne Kornhardt since she checked my son out in the hospital 16 years ago. Ayyagari is good too. They see either.

Dr Jeanne Kornhardt at parkland.
Christine H. replied:
I have used Crystal city Pediatrics for all 5 of my kids. I wouldn't use no one else. My kids love Dr. Rudolph and Dr. Boldt.
Zen P. replied:
Dr. Klauss at Parkland, she shares office with Dr. Moore. My kids have being seeing by Ayagarri, Kornhardt and Dr. Klauss. I like her better. I lost my respect for Dr. Zeric, when a mother called his office bcus her soon was very sick. and before he decided if he would schedule him, he asked his secretary to find out what insurance the boy had.
Katie E. replied:
Dr. Rohatgi off Tesson Ferry. They are wonderful there. It's a Mercy clinic. I don't mind the drive for a great doctor.
Codi M. replied:
we love Boldt and Rudolph at Crystal City never had a problem with them at all and they're not intimidating lol
Cindy B. replied:
I can tell you that my family (all of us) have been going to Midwest Health Group to see Dr Paul Moniz. Hes a wonderful and caring doctor. All of his staff is great. My granddaughter is a special needs child with cerebral palsy and they all love seeing the progression that she makes. The nurse practictioners there are wonderful too.

Tim H. replied:
Dr Killion is great with all my kids!
Kimberly A. replied:
There is so much about Dr. Z that I could tell but I won't air his filthy dirty laundry on here. He is by far an upstanding citizen and has no business being a Dr.
Heather F. replied:
Andy Files at Mineral Area he is a Nurse Practioner
Heather C. replied:
Doctors do make mistakes unfortunately some make mistakes that almost cost our children their lives like Dr. Lee did my son! Switching my son to Crystal City Pediatrics when i did saved his life! Everyone has their own opinions about certain doctors. If you have a gut feeling about advice you have been given by ur pediatrician, I have learned you should follow it at least get a 2 nd opinion! Ashley Nichole Litton, Shriners is a great place that specialize in leg and feet problems it is about an 1 1/2 drive but even if u have no insurance it never cost the parents a dime! They are great with kids if you need the # pm me and I can give it to you and best of luck to all of you findin good doctors!
Amy F. replied:
Dr Boldt or Dr Bess@Crystal City Pediatrics In Farmington: )
Kimberly A. replied:
We have used Dr Moore ever since my son had staff pneumonia when he was three and when i took him in to dr Z for a follow up after a 2 week stay in Childrens, dr Z told me I was ridiculous for taking him to Children's hospital claiming they were a learning hospital with a bunch of drs that have no idea what they were doing. I couldn't even believe my ears. Children's is a wonderful hospital!! They saved his life. I told him he had lost his mind and walked out of his office. Lost all respect for that man right then. Zack is now almost 10 and never have had a problem with Dr. Moore. Very very thorough with my child. But I will say she takes some getting use to. She is very introverted. But wonderful with the kids! I am just lad Dr Z was out of country when Zack got sick...I hate to even think about what the out come would have been. He is a poor excuse for a Dr. My opinion.
I'm ready to switch hailey to a new pediatrician. I want to take her to someone in Festus so any lab work she has done will be processed there. Anyone have suggestions...
Markie S. replied:
(636) 933-4141Dr. Rudolph. Usually they can get you in pretty quick. And even if you don't get in to him, I have heard nothing but good things about all the pediatricians there!
Susan M. replied:
I love Dr. Naggaraddii!!! He has been the boys dr since Dr. Belen retired!!!
Markie S. replied:
Dr. Rudolph is who we use and he is great!! He is in festus and Farmington.
Holly M. replied:
I use Dr. Naggaraddi in festus across from JMH and he is wonderful!!! Text me if you want his info
Someone ~ anyone....recommend a good pediatrician in the Festus area I can't take the long waits at Nagerettis (sp?)
Jeanne D. replied:
We absolutely LOVE Dr. Rudolph at Crystal City Pediatrics.
Jeanne D. replied:
Steve, we used to live in Ste. Gen and used Dr. Kanani at Apple Kids. I don't know if that's who you're thinking of, but he was amazing.
Jeanne D. replied:
Sounds like how Dr. Belen's office used to be when she still had her practice. It was not unusual to wait 4 hours sometimes. When Hunter was a baby I used Suburban Pediatrics on Bayless, just for the simple fact that if he got sick on the weekend their New Ballas office had Saturday hours. I'm not sure if they still do that though.
Terry F. replied:
Marissa goes to Dr. Mueth in Sunset Hills, it is where Jodie Passananti works.
Chelsea L. replied:
Dr. Ortiz...its In so co but awesome!!
Jodie P. replied:
My office is great but we are in sunset hills. If you want down here Dr. Rudolph or Dr. Boltz at Crystal City pediatrics are both great.
Pam L. replied:
I agree Crystal City pediatrics. I have been there since Sidney was born. He will be 18.
Nora B. replied:
Crystal City Pediatrics by far....they are awesome!
Beth R. replied:
i agree Crystal City Pediatrics Dr. Rudolph is the absolute best!!! He has seen the kids since they were around 3 and 5 and it is always a good experience.
Sherri D. replied:
I love love love love Dr Rudolph at CCP!!!!
Jeanne D. replied:
Debbie, I've never seen anyone wait very long at Crystal City Ped. They usually have 2 doctors seeing patients, plus a Nurse Practitioner. I'm not sure what Nagareddi's staff situation is.
Anyone have any good recommendations for a Pediatrician? Preferably no further north than Arnold.
Kate H. replied:
I take mine to Fenton Pediatrics in the bluffs. My sister works there but all the ladies are super sweet & the Dr's are amazing. Ours is Dr Isabell. It's a bit of a drive but totally worth it.
Bridgett M. replied:
I love Dr. Nagireddi! In Festus. He's both the kids pediatrician has been since jaelynn was born. He is really sweet. One time jaelynn got really sick late one afternoon when she was a baby and I called I told them I wouldn't be able to get the until after they closed and they said it was ok he stayed late just to see her turned out she had a double ear infection. I am glad he stayed.
Olivia A. replied:
Dr. Rudolph at kidz biz
Angela T. replied:
Dr. Nagireddi. He's great with my girls and Judah. Maybe give him another try?
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a pediatrician in Jefferson County or possibly Ste Genevieve? Please and Thanks!
Kimmie N. replied:
Crystal city pediatrics.. All the doctors are good. Dr. Rudolph is the one Tyler's usually sees.
Emily N. replied:
I take Braydon to ESSE Health, off of Highway 21 to Dr. Matt Dougherty. He is WONDERFUL. Very thorough, always available, and (heaven forbid if your baby is hospitalized), he is at the hospital visiting every step of the way. He's awesome.
Emily N. replied:
Dr. Remus is good too ^^^ same office. She was my pediatrician.
Billie B. replied:
Dr. Kanani in Ste.Gen & his wife!
Ashley P. replied:
