Becky Copeland Pruitt at Premier Care Pediatrics is awesome. Also, Art Monkey camps are wonderful. They fill up fast, so I'd find the website and look into them now.
Lisa H. replied:
Our pediatrician did his residency with Dr Minick and recommended him so good to hear you guys do too. Thank you, I will look at Art Monkey.

All 3 of my children see Dr. Roman at pediatric healthcare alliance. Office is right here in Fishhawk and they also have after hours so you can avoid an urgent care or emergency visit.

Bevis Elementary has amazing administration and faculty! We love them. It is such a blessing to live here and ride our bikes and walk our kids to school every day. I wouldn't trade that. Very very happy we are zoned for our school. Highly recommend it. Premier Care Peds. Dr. Frank Fabbiano for Chiropractic if you need it! The sports programs at the FishHawk Youth Complex are great. They will have tons of options year round. She may find many others she enjoys as much as soccer. One of the many other blessings of Florida living is the kiddos year round ability to play sports! There is a great Lacrosse program for Bo's and girls! Fish Hawk Coyotes! Quite complimentary to soccer.

Dr. Minick might just be one of the nicest people I have ever met. He's super smart, no edge, a total kid whisperer and just overall the kind of person you walk out thinking the world is better because he's in it. My eleven year old daughter begs to s ee him too but we don't often get the opportunity because we see Pruitt who is equally as adorable and kind. I'm glad you were already leaning towards the practice as they are pretty amazing. There are some other great ones but to me they are consistently the best. Busciglios for your kids dental needs. Academy of dance dynamics has fun summer camps and she's great with kids. Not very expensive either. Drama kids International I absolutely recommend, Faith Clark, is prepared and talented and both my girls ( 11 and 7) LOVE it. Don't know what she's rolling out for the summer yet though. Bonnie Hedberg Karet always has a fun camp going on but if your kids are interested in that I would sign up fast. Best thing About the camps (besides Bonnie) is that the kids bring home awesome stuff and so you really feel like you get something out of it too! Score. There is a fairly new place to do gymnastics just down the street ( titanium) and they offer camps as well. For a primary doctor Dr. Noorani is Kind of every thing you would want in a doctor and a friend. Lived in the area for a long time and it took many years to find the perfect team. My dentist who I adored moved so I can't help you there.. Actually I need help with that..
Robin L. replied:
I love Dr Anderson at Fishhawk Family Dental.
Angie W. replied:
Wow Kris I am taking notes from your post, I was looking for a lot of the references you provided! We see pediatric dentist Dr Abdoney and he is amazing! He's on Bloomindale right off Lithia Pinecrest and my daughter loves going. The only downfall is that the are out of network for most insurance providers but worth it because my kids are comfortable there.
Bonnie K. replied:
Kris- thanks for the shout out! Our summer camps have been listed sine the beginning of February. The younger camps are filling fast as usual, the older camps not far behind. We keep our camps small so that kids get lots of attention. Here is a link - just scroll past the spring break camps. http://www.artandicecream.com/#!summer-camp/cwoj

Hi Fish Hawk Friends! This will be our first summer in this area...can anyone recommend great summer camps? My children are 6, 7 and 9 years old. Thank you in advance.
Bonnie K. replied:
Art Monkey Camp info can be found at www.artandicecream.com in the summer camp page. Both online registration and a downloadable brochure are available there. We do fill fast. but we doubled our number of 4-6 year old camps this season..

Cedarkirk! This is a great camp. Our 8 yr old will attend the 3 day adventure camp this summer. They will have a free open house where you and your family can come out and experience what the camp offers in May. It is in Lithia off the Alafia River. I posted the link for the open house information. We love it there! http://cedarkirk.org/programs/open-house/

I took my dog to Camp Bow Wow (Riverview) when I lived nearby. He wasn't very active as he was getting elderly at the time. It's a nice, clean place and I'd use them again.
Does anyone know of a place that boards dogs that has indoor outdoor runs so that they always have access to the inside and outside? Camp bow wow and the other one on...

At Alafia River Animal Hospital we have indoor/outdoor suites. Front doors to suites are glass. Tile floor. Multiple outdoor play areas at our 4.5 acre facility. Solid partitions between suites so the antisocial don't antagonize the meeker guests (or pee on them). My kennel staff is fantastic. 643-1002 we also have cat condos in an area separate from the dogs.
