I also see Dr. Nishihara at meadows pediatrics, he now located on Cheyenne, used to be at Summerlin medical center. There is never a wait and he's very thorough, he has come in on a holiday weekend for us and even met us in the ER. 436-7337 is his number. Dentists: We see Dr. B's Dentistry for children and we love it there. He's near Smashburger and Fresh and Easy at Ann/95 998-7100 Hope that helps!
Emelia M. replied:
Adventure smiles is amazing. Dr Gary Richardson. He doesnt do anything unnecessary. All of my friends that had concerns with suggested work I always send them to him for a2 nd opinion and he always insists on something way less invasive. And they ALWAYS stay as a patient and drop their other dentist I like dr henry ky at desert valley pediatrics and Dr kathleen Burford as well.
Laurie W. replied:
Dr. Burford and Dr. Nyarko at Desert Valley Pediatrics at Summerlin Hospital Medical office, and we see both Dr. Saxes at A Children's Dentist in Boca Park.

Monica P. replied:
Dr. Liz McGee at Pediatric Dental Care (in the Lakes) is amazing! She is so patient with my 3 yo daughter and goes out of her way to make her not feel nervous. She even gives my daughter's baby doll a check up first to show her what she is going to do. The entire office is so nice.
Desirae L. replied:
We love dr saxe at A Children's Dentist. Our Ped is dr. Duddy and he is great!
Marcie G. replied:
Nudrat Nauman at The Pediatric Center is truly a great pediatrician. She takes the time to listen to your concerns and is very knowledgeable and friendly. She has been our dr for years! Their office is at Lake Mead/Buffalo. 228-9066
Monica H. replied:

Dr N talks to the kids as he is examining them....my son loves him!
Melinda K. replied:
Dr Blank with Desert Valley Pediatrics is also VERY good! I agree with Monica, I had to see Dr Nyarko once with my son when he was an infant. My son developed a rash with the meds he was put on. Dr Nyarko didn't call us back for hours & then told us to...See More
Jennifer H. replied:
We also go to Dr. Jerome or Dr. Lepore at Kidfixers. They watch the child, observe, connect, and give positive feedback. They take their time. My son was admitted to the hospital and Dr. Jerome called me on the weekend to check on our family. He could have gone through the hospital to receive information on his patient, but he wanted to know how WE were doing. I love them.
Amy E. replied:
All the doctors at Desert Pediatrics are great, but at times, their office manager (Heather) isn't the friendliest person..
Amy E. replied:
Desert Pediatrics in Summerlin
Angie Z. replied:
Dentist: Dr. LaLandetinytooth.com She's gentle and loves kids. Her office staff is amazing as well.
Diane H. replied:
Ped doctor Dr. Duddy is great. I live in Henderson and if he still took my insurance I would drive to see him. He will always take the time to answer any questions you have and never make you feel like he is in a rush to get to the next person. Wonderful doctor and office has good hours.
Kristy A. replied:
We switched to st. Rose pediatrics (Warm Spings/Cimaron) from Foothills Pediatrics. Best move ever! Dr. Alazard has called us personally to follow through. Love him! Foothills always made me feel 'crazy' for coming in. I think Dr Weber was too busy!
Mandy W. replied:
I loved the Dr.s at Dessert Peds but I couldn't stand the waits! I had to switch but I lived in the Centennial area and switched dr out there. One time I had to collect my co-pay and leave the wait was so long!
Kristy L. replied:
Dr. Nishihara at Meadows Pediatric. He is great with both of my kids.in 5 years of going to him I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen!

Martha F. replied:
One thing I have learned recently, while looking for a doctor in FL, that doctors with DO degrees are much more whole-person oriented than MDs. Another thing to look for is doctors whose primary specialty is Family Medicine. Their training is also more whole-person (and whole-family) oriented. Good luck!
Janis R. replied:
Do you have insurance? If you have HAN then my friend Susan Galvin is an MD with them. I actually just changed her to be my dr. I trust her.
Gina M. replied:
We see a DO. Dr Mitchell Phillips. South Rainbow. He is open to alternatives, has a lot of testing equipment in house. And sells some of his own supplements.
