Looking for recommendations on a Pediatric Dentist, as well as a Pediatrician. I don't mind traveling.
Lindsey D. replied:
I love Dr guy. He's my daughters dentist. And I use Robyn DeVore at Angelina pediatric
April G. replied:
My daughter goes to Robyn at Angelina Pediatrics, she's great. For their dentist they just use Element Dental by walmart, but they're awesome with kids. As far as haircuts, we all see Heather at Shirlene's, she does a great job.
Tiffany T. replied:
Dr Griffin for dentist, Dr Fidone for pediatrician
Sarah C. replied:
Your best bet is to look ANYWHERE but Lufkin for a pediatrician. Childrens clinic LOVES to cater to the well to do of lufkin so unless you fall in that group, dont expect good health care. I have been driving mine out of town for years, And I have GOOD insurance so mine are not on medicaid......We See Bonnie Ryan at Dr. Fearings office in Nac. She is a General but is GREAT with kids! Been seeing her for 10+ years.....I also go out for most dental care, Dr. Griffin SPLIT my daugthers lip intentionally when she was 3! She was scared and he shoved her lip very hard onto her teeth! it split it wide open! He thought it was a good way to calm her and get her to sit still!! To many bad experiances with lufkin drs...we go out of lufkin for 95% of our health care!

Kool smiles is really good w the kids for dentist for Pediatrician Nacodogches Rhonda Shmidht office is called Doctors on the Go she AWESOME with kids my son has been w her since he was 10 he's 17 now
Etta E. replied:
Caleb Sturrock in Woodville. Not a pediatric dentist but very good with kids as he has 4 small ones so knows how to handle them.
Charlotte D. replied:
Brandi Swaney I take the girls to Dr. Wenner at Littlejacks she's the best! Staff is amazing! And you know my babies are always in and out of there I swear! They really are great! My cousins wife hasn't had good luck with Rhonda Schmidt she recently pulled her girls. We go now to Dr Jennifer Criss for dental. We love them. I DO NOT AT ALL SUGGEST Dr. Fowlers office in Nac!!!! We went one time with Sadie. They have a sign on the lobby door that states that they do not allow parents to go in the back with children once they turn 3. Due to "hippa" regulations which is bullshit. I've never not gone back with Cecilia and she's 8. Also I asked if they had any signing staff for Sadie. They responded no, which isn't unusual because not a lot of people sign. So I asked well once she turns 3 may I go back and sign to her so she knows what your saying. They said no. So I asked well you have Spanish speaking staff for your patients correct? Since you do not have any signing staff I don't think it's in the best interest for Sadie to go back not knowing what's going on.... They said no exceptions. nope sorry..... There's no reason why a 3 yr old can't go back with mom or dad.... It's not my problem your office is small and you don't have room for parents! And using hippa as an excuse isn't cool, and then she tried saying hippa was different in Pa and Georgia. She really thought I was an idiot.
Robyn at Angelina Pediatrics been my kids doctor since she was born. She's really good and sweet and Kool Smiles for the dentists.
Megan L. replied:
I drive to Livingston to Polk county children's clinic. Dr. Katari is a physician not a PA. He is also open on Saturday mornings and takes his own call after hours.
Nicole M. replied:
Dr. Melinda Wenner in Nac at Little Jacks Pediatrics is THE BEST! She's so compassionate about her job and m babies! It's not just a paycheck to her, she truly cares. Every time we go in there She knows exactly what we talked about from previous visits. Her staff is also so friendly. 936-205-5805
Does anyone know of any a GOOD pediatrician??? Preferably in LUFKIN ?????
Hannah R. replied:
Dr Fidone!!!!!!
Shauna D. replied:
Dr Fidone is a Godsend! He is truly an amazing pediatrician!
Shauna D. replied:
He truly is a life saver. When my youngest, Kellen was 2, he was really sick for months. Dr Fidone found a 3 cm mass in his brain. Sent us straight to TCH in Houston. He called everyday for 3 weeks to check on Kellen. (We were there for 6 weeks. Kellen...See More
I'm suppose to be thinking on and choosing a pediatrician. Recommendations please!! And please tell me why you like them. Thanks!
Dustin B. replied:
Dr Graves, without a question of doubt. Started with Fidone but that sorry excuse for a dr spent absolute minimum time with my daughter, no time for questions, and she was scared of him because he's horrible with kids. Graves is AWESOME with kids and isn't trying to see the most patients in the office like her counterpart
Alisha M. replied:
We use Dr Fidone he is wonderful with Conner and Conner never is upset to go the doctor. He is very cautious and if he thinks there is something wrong he will refer you out to someone else. And yes he is quick but if you have questions he will answer them!
Melissa G. replied:
I used Fidone, then switched to Glass, then went back to Fidone! Fidone is excellent with kiddos - though you may find he's a little quick! He's very thorough though! I feel very comfortable knowing Noah is in his care! Dr. Glass seemed to be more interested in the parent relationship, which is fine! I just like how Fidone always makes Noah feel comfortable! I think if you have a girl you might go with a female pediatrician just for comfort when she gets older! I've also heard good things about Dr. Hafernick. Maybe you can meet with some of them beforehand and see which one you get the best vibe from!!
Jessica P. replied:
Dr. Fidone me and Dr. Glass are both wonderful! Goodness...it's been twenty years ago when Ryan needed a pediatrician! We had went to both and had great care. Dr. Fidone jokes around with the kids a lot
Jodette D. replied:
We started out with Fidone with Ty, but switched to Graves later. Dr Graves seems to take more time with you. But they are all great. When Sam had been home for only a week he had an ear infection. Dr Graves was out so we saw Glass. He was great, and even met us at the clinic on a Sunday morning to give him the last rocephine shot.
Cara P. replied:
Dr Glass.. we love him and he is very knowledgeable! I have rarely ever had to wait to see him he was highly recommended to me as well!
Laura G. replied:
I use Dr. Rudis for all of mine and Eric and I as well. He delivered my first 2. We love him!
April W. replied:
I highly recommend Dr. Glass. I feel that he is the most attentive to the child while relating well with the parents at the same time. Over the years we have seen a total of 4 other doctors there, when he was out, or after hours. Graves would be my next choice. But ultimately... I've come to trust him the most!
Josh-Monica L. replied:
We use Dr. Glass.....he was great with Kendra having RSV at 3 months old and been great with both the girls since. We have seen Graves and Fidone as well when Glass happened to be out of the office. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them!
Jade M. replied:
We use Fidone, but all of the doctors at The Children's Clinic are great.
Corey T. replied:
Dr Glass saved Coops life so I haveta say him. Although we used Fidone the most.
Tiffany S. replied:
Dr Graves was nice the few times we used her. We usually had less of a wait to see her.
Margie H. replied:
Dr. Graves! She is very attentive to the child's and the parents needs. Asks if you have any questions. Explains everything well. My kiddos love her!
Travis R. replied:
Amy Huggins in nac. Pineywoods pediatrics. They are great
Crystal W. replied:
Dr Fidone is AWESOME!!!
Sara-armando C. replied:
We love Dr glass! He is great with the kids and the parents too lol! He is also not quick to jump to conclusions and treat a common cold to aggressively which I like! He had been out pediatrician since my oldest was about a year. We had Dr Fidone first bit to me if it's not something serious he is not as good with the minor things! Just my opinion
Lea H. replied:
Dr Glass was great with my kids. He didn't over medicate them all the time with anti-biotics -which allows them to build their immune system. Great bedside manner too!
Tiffany S. replied:
We used Dr Glass. When Sophie was born she had trouble breathing Nd had to stay in the hospital for a week. Dr glass was up there every day checking on her. Yes, that's his job but he would stop by my room every time he was there. He took the time to explain everything that was going on and why she had to stay. He was also maverick's pediatrician. He always took the time to answer my questions in a way that didn't make me feel like an idiot. He is very caring, and straight forward.
Karla O. replied:
Dr Rudis delivered my youngest son. He is still his Dr and he is 21 now. That's what is great about him he can continue to be ur little ones Dr even after she/he is grown. Lol I couldn't remember boy or girl. Anyways he is great!
Melissa C. replied:
We use Fidone at The Childrens Clinic,but have seen all the pediatricians there, they all are very thorough and take time to answer the questions you might have
Pam B. replied:
Glass or any of them at Children Clinic and they stay open late
Kerry J. replied:
Dr. Glass at The Children's Clinic is great!
Chastity B. replied:
Dr. Glass is wonderful! From experience in the ER, the kids love him! Dr. Graves is also a wonderful physician. Both have wonderful feedback with family and kiddos!! Good luck in making decision!
Brenda A. replied:
Dr Glass is my pediatrician but have seen Fidone and Graves. Dr Glass is my choice because I've seen him in action in emergency situations and he is awesome! Dr Fidone is as well don't get me wrong they both are very good and the kiddos love Fidone. Either one of them have the highest ranked pediatric credentials in this area. Children's clinic is the only place Landan will ever go!!!
Iso a good pediatrician! Moving to lufkin in 2 weeks and I will need one.
Ruby R. replied:
Childrens clinic!! If you have medicaid they will send you to angelina pediatrics but both are very good!
Lisa W. replied:
Dr Glass at the Childrens Clinic!
Keira L. replied:
If You Have Medicaid Kelli Morris At Angelina Pediatrics. I've Used Her Since My LO Was Born And I Adore Her. Highly Recommend Her To Everyone In Lufki. area Who Has Medicaid. But Otherwise Dr. Glass Is Who I Used When I Was Little And I Adored Him, He Was So Nice And Interacted With Me As Well Instead Of Just Talking Only To My Parents
Terri K. replied:
Dr. Glass at The Childerns Clinic
Taylor T. replied:
Dr. Fidone is absolutely amazing!!
Brian H. replied:
If / when your kiddos need dental care, I highly recommend Dr. Fred Griffin on Frank Street.

Dawn J. replied:
Head Pediatrics in Nacogdoches amazing doctor my grandson Loves him and his nurses
So we haven't even thought about a pediatrician for Heartley yet and she's due in less than a month!
Anyone have any suggestions of good ones? What you like/dislike?
Stevie L. replied:
I used fidone w roree but he's just a tad but weird lol and I have to use Angelina pediatrics w case. My sister has used glass since vivie was born and loves him. If I could afford it he would go to glass!
Heather B. replied:
We go to Angelina pediatrics and haven't had any problems, usually when you have the baby a random pediatrician comes to check her out and meet you and everything, Dr Handley came when Chloe was born, love her!
Carrie W. replied:
Christina Graves
Amanda H. replied:
I LOVE Robin Devore at Angelina Pediatrics. Hallie goes to the children's clinic now, we have only been there once and we had to see Fidone because it was after hours, but my step sis sees Dr. Handley and she is amazing from what I hear.
Rosa C. replied:
Well I didn't like Angelina pediatrics. They're really nice but last time they took two hours and a half to go to me and I don't like to wait for that long. So I changed to fercowics I think they're ok
Carrie W. replied:
Robin Devore and Christina Graves, I know personally. And Dr. Glass I know is good from having worked with children that go to him for years. I wouldn't go to Dr. Fercowicz although his NP, Janet Fry is good.
Aimee S. replied:
Dr. Glass seems to have a big group of people saying good things! Heather Baker I'm delivering at memorial. David works there and he was born there so he wanted Heartley to be born there too.
Cyndee T. replied:
Dr. Glass has taken very good care of my grandson.
Lufkin mommies:
I am looking for a good pediatrician that cares about my kids and not about their pay check!
That doesn't make me feel ignorant if I bring my kid in...
Sissy H. replied:
Dr Huggins in Nac
Jamie R. replied:
Not sure about insurance they take but we use dr graves. She's easy to talk to and doesn't make you feel dumb when you ask a question. She's at children's clinic but in different suite from glass and fidone. I've heard good things about Amy Huggins in Nac also.
Ashley O. replied:
When I lived in Lufkin I heard nothing but bad things about pediatricians there so I drove to Nac and use Rhonda Schmidt at Peditrian on the go!!
Monaca E. replied:
Dr. Fidone was my pediatrician. If we lived in Lufkin we would definitely use him.
Stefani W. replied:
Dr. Huggins in Nac 100% - Collin was born with a heart murmur that eventually became life threatening and she helped us through it. Explaining as much as she could to help us understand as well as getting us the best drs in Houston I highly recommend her. Idk if she accepts you type insurance cause we do private pay.
Stephanie D. replied:
Dr graves is good .. Heard great things about Dr Huggins!! Dr graves takes united
Pamela C. replied:
I use Dr.Sokunbi is Nac!!!! Awesome.
Amanda D. replied:
When we lived in Lufkin, I took my girls to Dr. Glass and loved him. He always knew what was going on with my girls and genuinely cared. We still went to him for awhile after we moved, because he was wonderful. I highly recommend him!
Needing recommendations for pediatricians, family practice doctors, pediatric dentists and family dentists in the Lufkin area please. Pros and cons are welcome. Thanks...
April G. replied:
We love Angelina pediatrics. They're very nice, Robyn is the one my daughter sees. They almost always have same day appointments available. For dentists, we use element dental by Wal-Mart. We tried Aspen and were not impressed.
Kennedy has a project due Friday and has finally decided she wants to be a pediatrician...so does anyone know where to find child sized scrubs stethoscope and such???? I...
