I drive all the way from North Naples down by the zoo....we love Dr. Vedder but I am not sure he is accepting new patients??? He pulls finger puppets out of kids' ears when checking them and says "Spider-Man superific" type phrases when he uses the stethoscope. Very gentle and explains things very well(;

Christina F. replied:
I agree with NCH Pediatrics. Between our blended family of 4 children, we have experience with Dr. Vedder, Dr. Shepard, Dr. Brown, and regularly see Dr. Podos for our two youngest. Fantastic doctors, all of them.
Linda R. replied:
In the North Naples area, I highly recommend Drs. Robert Wilson and his partner, Sobia Najm. They have excellent nurses, extremely helpful front office staff, and, in the last 13 years, our wait times are usually less than 15 minutes. I can always get my kids in the same day, if necessary, and this office does not use physician assistants or nurse practitioners to see patients. The pediatricians see everyone.
Paula B. replied:
Dr. Vedder
Kindlyn R. replied:
Also Dr Brian Menichello, Monica Menichello's schedule can be limited! Also check out The Naples Moms Society on Meet up.com
Ann M. replied:
Dr. Reesha Brown is fantastic, she shares an office with Dr. Vedder at Anchor Pediatrics off of Goodlette Road past Coastland Mall. I've used her for both of my daughter's and have always had great experiences with her and the staff. She treats newborns to 5 year olds.
