We used Dr. Russell and he is head of OB just incase you wanted to check him out. http://www.mindenmedicalcenter.com/FindADoc/Doctors/robert_c_russell_md.aspx
I am fairly new to the area, and would appreciate any recommendations for a good Pediatrician. If there is a particular reason, please tell me why you like him/her.

Dr. Michael Ulich at Minden Pediatrics, my son was born at only 26 weeks gestation and weighed only 1 lb. 7 ozs. At Schumpert in Shreveport and when he was released from the NICU they referred me to Dr. Ulich and he has been my son's pediatrician since and my son is 7 years old now. We love Dr. Ulich am my son loves going to the Dr. just to see him.

Hey Anita!!! We use Dr Kirby. In fact probably going to go there today! They're even opened on Saturdays for a short time but its first come first serve. Dr Kirby and Dr Ulrich are both great.

Debra Woodard in Haynesville at the Butler Abshire clinic is the best doctor I've been to and I've been to everyone in Minden! She loves babies and she's sooooo so good with them!

Dr Elizabeth Phillips. She's the absolute best. She actually cares about her patients. I had Dr Irizzary and he almost killed my child. She was born with a cleft palate and the nurses and Irizzary somehow missed this (she was born at MMC). They sent he r home listed as healthy. She wasn't. She couldn't eat. He wouldn't listen to me. The nurses wouldn't listen. I took her to his office 2-5 times a week for a month. I sat in his office and showed him she couldn't eat. She lost a lot of weight rapidly. Being a new mom, he told me I was overreacting. I kept begging him to look in her mouth. I could never get her to open it, and she never cried. I told him I think she can't latch (even to a bottle) and something was wrong in her mouth or throat. He just kept sending me home and told his nurses to refuse my calls because I didn't have a legitimate concern. I got tired of it and took her to Dr Phillips. She had her diagnosed and a room set up at the children's hospital, with a specialist scheduled to see us, within 4 hours of my visit. She dropped everything to help us. She saved my baby's life, I have no doubt of that. When I moved to south Louisiana, I still drove 3 hours to bring my girls to her. Now, I live in Blanchard and drive an hour for my 3 kids to go to her. You won't find better.
Angel A. replied:
Dr Ulich is or was in the same building as Dr Irizzary, just to let you know. Not saying they're the same, but I wouldn't go there.
Abby K. replied:
When I was supposed to be seeing Dr. Kirby.. They always sent me to a nurse practitioner at her office.. Never ever ever got to even see dr. Kirby. I hated it there & they're not so gentle with shots.
Jennifer S. replied:
Dr. Phillips. Stephanie Williams is good, but she's a family practice nurse practitioner, not a doctor, and as a nurse, I highly, HIGHLY recommend kids go to pediatricians.
Melissa S. replied:
Dr. David McGehee in Ruston is the best one around in my book! Very caring and thorough doctor!!! and u do not see the nurse practitioner...u see the doctor...I have issues with always having to see someone besides the doctor!
Amber G. replied:
Elizabeth Phillips... Cause she's the best of the best!
Bobby T. replied:
I agree Stephanie Williams or Dr. Kate the best smile emoticon Minden family clinic
Bobee C. replied:
Dr Phillips!!! She's so awesome!! Her ENTIRE office, waiting room, patient rooms, ALL for children!! Toys everywhere!! We love her!
Doshie T. replied:
JosephandAnita Leigh I forgot to mention that my son is a special needs child, and if he ever has to be referred to a specialist for anything Dr. Ulich is always on top of it.
Kimberly S. replied:
Dr Kirby in Minden! She is amazing. We had our first baby and also a premie so naturally we have lots of questions. She sits down with us and answers anything we ask. She's very friendly and you get a good vibe from her. They are open for a little while in Saturdays and always have a nurse on call also.
Karen S. replied:
Dr Kirby or dr Ulich at minden pediatrics they are both great
Emily H. replied:
Elizabeth Phillips! We love her!! She's the best doctor we've ever had to be honest!!
Rose B. replied:
Dr Ulrich or Dr Phillips are both fantastic. My granddaughter got sick once over the Christmas holidays. Her parents took her to a hospital in Dallas on their way in because she had an upset stomach, was listless, & dehydrating. They diagnosed her, but weren't giving treatment so I called Dr Phillips. She said give her sweet tea & bring her in to Minden Medical if that didn't help within x time-frame. They left Dallas & came here immediately. She held down the tea & was better by morning. Keep in mind that my granddaughter was not even Dr. Phillips patient & it was a holiday! Awesome job.
Amanda C. replied:
Dr Michael Ulich we love him as well. Been using him for almost 8 years. Kirby is good also. Minden pediatrics is just a good place.

Scott K. replied:
Ulich's and if you're willing to travel. Acorn to oaks is open in Haughton all day. Dr. Latchiolais
Danica K. replied:
I think it's walk in between 9 an 10. At least it used to be. MFCC is also open on Sat's. Mid-City Peds in Shreveport are also open on Sat's along with the quick cares over there. Not a lot of choices in Minden
