I wouldn't take my kids back to Dr. Mynatt ever....even if he was the only local pediatrician I would drive as far as necessary to see someone else. Once was more than enough for my boys. He's awful.

Sarah G. replied:
Ron Smith Pediatrics!
Danielle L. replied:
Definitely Ron Smith! The whole staff is excellent. Wait times are never long. And they save your time and money by allowing you to email them. Braylin had hit her head on a Saturday evening around seven. I emailed Dr Ron with a picture and he responded within 30 minutes telling me what to check, what would be normal, and what to look for if it's serious enough to take to the hospital. I've used the email several times and always get a response 30 minutes-1 hour after sending it.
I need a new pediatrician in henry county. Any suggestions?
Angela S. replied:
I switched to Dr. Leard when my little one was born...have been very happy with him. He's right next to the hospital. Super nice, patient and will take the time if you need him to. Nurses are nice & helpful too. He is alone in the practice, so sometimes you have to wait, but usually not too bad. And I have found that typically if there is a wait, then they are good. That's terrible that happened. Let me know if you want more info on Leard.

Sherry R. replied:
I'm surprised to hear that about your pediatrician...he never struck me as that type but you never can tell. We had a horrible experience with Dr. Mynatt in LG but some people love him. My boys love Dr. Barnwell with South Atlanta Peds. He has office in LG and Riverdale.
Holly D. replied:
Mynatt is a joke. Very distant and stares at a computer the whole time. And misdiagnosed my oldest when she had rsv. Dr. Mathew at tri-county pediatrics is amazing. She has been the only doctor to help khloe nd her issues.
Haleigh C. replied:

Another vote for Dr. Leard. We love him!
Phyllis J. replied:
I've been using McDonough pediatrics since David Johnson was born in 1996. Dr. Sankaran has been good for us. But neither of my kids have had a lot of sickness either. They've both been very healthy. But I will say. His office staff have been there for many years and some are the same as when we started going there. That speaks volumes that they are happy working together and for him. I love his just ms. Judy. She is my favorite.
Nicole C. replied:
Dr Ron smith!!! He is amazing!!!! He loves email- and tries to keep you out of the office as much as possible. He writes back almost immediately! The office staff is great too!! I can't say anything negative. They are flexible and always available. The email was the best thing for me! New mom means I always have a million questions! Lol
Amanda J. replied:
We use Dr. Mynatt and Ms. Patty at Locust Grove Pediatrics.
