Claudia H. replied:
Thanks for the PM's. I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows about Dr. Moussa!!!!
Samantha B. replied:
All 3 of my kids go to Breeze Pediatrics . LOVE them !
Beth V. replied:
Navarre Peds. Dr. El Goweni is the one that spotted my sons kidney failure symptoms. Because of her I got 8 more months with him before he passed last may! They are great! And Dr. Mousa always asked how he was doing any time I brought in any of my other kids. She recognized us every time. Felt like I wasn't just another name on the list!
Amy M. replied:
Dr. Mousa, Navarre Pediatrics
Rene' F. replied:
Dr Christopher Cave...I took my daughter when she was a young teenager to him...very nice and polite
Misty P. replied:
We had issues with Navarre Peds and have been at Breeze Peds with Dr Reese for a long while now and love him and his staff!!! We will never go anywhere else.
Terre D. replied:
Dr. Berger at White-Wilson Medical Center in Navarre. At 8990 Navarre Parkway 98.
Tracey H. replied:
Breeze Pediatrics, they have the most friendly, amazing staff! I just moved here too a couple months ago and they made me feel so welcome
Becky S. replied:
We love Dr. Reese. My oldest had croup & pneumonia and we were leaving in a few days to go out of state. He gave me his cell phone number so I could call him directly and he said he'd meet me if my child needed to be seen again before we left. They also have extended hours Mon-Thurs for sick kids, a pediatrician on call, & are open Sat 8-12 at their Pensacola location.
Michelle G. replied:
White Wilson. He's not a doctor but he's an LPN. Or whatever you call it. My son had heart surgery and he's been his doc since 1996. He even gave me his personal cell phone number in case of emergencies when he changed jobs. Paul is absolutely the best doc and greatest person out there. He's all about the children. He even worked with abused kids at Sacred Heart for a while. I have trusted all four of my kids with him all these years and when other doctors have misdiagnosed them, he's gotten them straightened out. Saved two of my kids lives in the process. Paul Tartarilla always listens to me too. I'm an involved parent and know my kids so when I say strep or pneumonia, he listens and acts on my idea to get the test results to confirm it.
Claudia H. replied:
Anyone but Dr. Moussa. She IS super nice, but must have graduated at the bottom of her class. I guess someone has to. PM me if you would like details.
Kimberly E. replied:
Be careful, you can not call after your appointment to say sorry you missed, because they will terminate you. I was driving a school bus, couldn't call, but it didn't matter. I am not happy with Dr. Reese and his office, he put my child on medicine, I was not for it at all, then terminated my child. They are kids! It's not their fault.
Lynne M. replied:
Wow Claudia Huckabee, that's crazy we have different views. We went to Breeze Pediatric, wasn't happy, then Pensacola Pediatric when we were going through everything with Lauren. Just say mommy's intuition stepped in. Switched to Dr ElGoweni and Dr Moussa. Basically that switch saved Lauren's life. They were the ones who listened to me and pursued finding out what was wrong with her. She lives today because of them.
Lisa P. replied:
She's not in Navarre but Dr. Robin Renfroe in Gulf Breeze is awesome. We've been going to her for 16 years and all 3 kids like her. Oldest is 18 now. 932-5348Breeze Pediatrics.
Lisa W. replied:
Make sure you ask whether or not they have admitting privileges at the only children's hospital in the area. Most don't. This means that if your child is hospitalized, their pediatrician doesn't write their orders, or have any say in their treatment. On a personal note, my kids have been going to Dr. Reese all their lives and now my grandkids go there too. He's been an absolutely amazing Dr. For our family and my kids love him.
Sheila W. replied:
Dr. Kline
Katherine S. replied:
I love Dr. Mousa! She has seen my 20 month old since he was born. She has been truly amazing for us. My son has had multiple ear infections and she has always treated him on the day that I call. She's also super funny and we always look forward to seeing her. Oh, her nurses are great too.
Nick R. replied:
Sorry Ms. Smith but Dr. Mousa is retarded. She doesn't listen to my wife and is always wrong. Its an uphill battle to prove that my wife has pretty much always been right when it comes to the medical care of my children. Had I known I was going to have such problems I would've left my child's pediatrician on Hurlburt Field
Swinda L. replied:
Gulf Breeze Pediatrics, dr. Brandy Boutin. Awesome and very very good with kids
Melissa S. replied:
Dr Curtsinger is great ... Very patient, listens and includes family in plan of care dual board certified peds and internal med, so can see all of family.
Michelle G. replied:
Paul Tartarilla has seen my four kids for the last eighteen years. The man is a genius with them. I've been to other docs but keep going back to him when he works closer to where I live. He was in Crestview for a while and I've been going to Navarre Peds and I liked them a lot but am happy he's closer now.
Stephanie S. replied:
Love Dr. Reese at Pensacola Pediatrics. The whole office is just awesome!
Allison H. replied:
Dr Brandi Boutin is awesome! The practice calls me back immediately after hours and they even came in to see my 4 yr old on a weekend when she had pneumonia. If I call at 8 am when a kiddo is sick, they always get me in that morning. Awesome.
Adrienne K. replied:
Bonnie Anderson
Lynne M. replied:
Please be very careful if you go to Dr Reese at Pensacola Peds. Love Dr ElGoweni and Dr. Mouse at Navarre Peds.
Lori G. replied:
Dr. Berger is the new pediatrician in white Wilson in Navarre. He use to be the nicu doctor at sacred heart hospital.
Jennifer R. replied:
Dr mousa navarre pediatrics at baptist medical park hands down! She sees all 3 of my kids 850-939-5550
Meaghon M. replied:
You are going to get positives and negatives for each DR. For myself and my husband we would never go back to Navarre pediatrics, we have not one but multiple bad experiences. Not with just Dr. Mousa but Dr. Goweni. If you want to know details you can PM me. Now we go to white Wilson with Paul Tartarilla. Not only is he amazing with my son (he's only 3 and not afraid of the dr anymore) but listens to all our concerns. Another great feature their office has late hours now. That worked great for us because the hubby could meet with us after work.
Asheland S. replied:
Dr.Mousa in Baptist Right beside shrimp basket! She's awesome! And from a patience point of view, I love her
Tony B. replied:
Dr. Reese has been great. My son has been seeing him his whole life.

Melissa S. replied:
Dr. Reese is absolutely wonderful and is extremely well known and loved by many LOL

Casey J. replied:
Libby Lawson Russell.. what was wrong with Breeze Pediatrics? Is their office on 204 Center Drive behind SunTrust?
Libby R. replied:
Too many issue with the staff there. Dr Grady was amazing and she was who we saw...we were sad to leave her but now she is at pediatric assoc and she is awesome!! So is dr Benny!! Never had 1 complaint or issue with pediatric associates!! They are open in the evenings and sat and sun for emergencies!! They are worth the drive to pace or Pensacola!!!
Elena D. replied:
Pensacola Pediatrics Dr. Reese and stuff are wonderful. We switched from Navarre Pediatrics after multiple instances of waiting in the lobby with a newborn for an hour. Never had a problem with Dr. Reese, my son loves him, always can get an appointment and worth the drive to Gulf Breeze.
Cathy P. replied:
Dr Reese, in Tiger Point!
Sonya G. replied:
Navarre pediatrics! Having worked there before having my little one and being a stay at home mommy, I saw first hand how both Dr. Elgoweni & Dr. Mousa go above and beyond for their patients. Highly recommended!
Danie B. replied:
Dr Jennifer Zimmerman in Pace Kids Care Pediatrics. Love her.
Kara P. replied:
Dr. Alison Curtsinger in Navarre is wonderful! I never have a long wait and she has been so wonderful and attentive when we have needed her! And my 5 year old LOVES going to see her and the office staff because they are all so kind!!
Jamie F. replied:
Navarre pediatric, my daughter had been seeing Dr. El Goweni for 6 years and she's really good. My daughter has anxiety and other things and her doctor refers her to see a specialist instead of medication unlike most doctors now days....

Dr Rigby at white Wilson in fort walton is awesome. It's nice to have other doctors available if you need to get in right away and there are no openings. But your set appointments will always be with the doctor you chose. My son loves him... He always makes big bubbles when he washes his hands for my son to pop. Lol and his bird whistle is pretty awesome. Lol

Mallisa S. replied:
Navarre pediatrics. But it's just the 2 of them and can be busy at times. But I love Dr. Mousa and have been using them for 5 years. Saw her at the store and she said hi to my son by his name. That shows me she is informed with her patients ya know. Not just another kid from the office. I don't know. Made me feel special lol.
Bethany S. replied:
We see Dr Klein at Pensacola pediatrics in Gulf Breeze and love her
Janet D. replied:
Navarre Pediatrics! Awesome! - my kids have been going to them since 2004, my kids are now in high school. Love Dr. El Goweni - I can attest that they remember their patients, Dr. El Goweni's daughter took gymnastics at the same gym that my daughter cheered at, she address my daughter by name at the gym and then when my daughter went in to the office, Dr. El Goweni asked her how her cheerleading was going. My other daughter plays soccer and Dr. El Goweni said she saw her in the newspaper for soccer.
Casey J. replied:

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate post for this group, but I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a pediatrician who is experienced with kids that have special needs...
Barbara S. replied:
Dr. Theresa Mahaffey with Growing Child Pediatric in Pace is absolutely WONDERFUL. She also has a son with Autism, so it's a cause close to her heart. You WON'T be disappointed.
Tonia P. replied:
Dr Brandy Boutin at Breeze Pediatrics does. I took my son to her for many years. He has severe CP, among other things. She is one that actually listens to the parents and will sit and talk to us.
Brandy W. replied:
I love Dr. Heather Lenga at Pensacola Pediatric (850)473-0100. She has taken care of all three of mine since my oldest was born 15 years ago, including my son who is Autistic and has sensory issues.
Brandy W. replied:
Autism Surfs is phenomenal. Richard G Weeks is the founder! Terrific person who welcomed me and my son the week of diagnosis and Myra Britton Fowler is an amazing person who immediately opened her heart and knowledge to me and my son as well. Both great for advice for anything Autism related in the area:)

Brittany M. replied:
Dr Klein in gulf breeze. Best dr around.
Ashley K. replied:
If suggest Pensacola Pediatrics Pam! From what I saw today they are fast, reliable and very good with my son. We were in and outta there in a very timely manner they even gave my son a Popsicle at the end! Dr Klein was NOTHING like the doctors at Navarre ped. She listened to what I had to say and actually took time to evaluate my son! She even tried to cheer him up!!!!

Heather B. replied:
We use Dr Mousa at Navarre Pediatrics.
Nichole M. replied:
I had a few bad experiences with Navarre pediatrics. I switched to Dr Reese. If you're willing to drive to Gulf Breeze then Pensacola pediatrics is amazing.
Kris M. replied:
Dr. Reese in Gulf Breeze is fantastic! And if your child gets sick on Saturday you can go the Pensacola office instead of having to go to urgent care. I also had multiple bad experiences with Navarre Pediatrics.

We love Dr. Mousa behind Baptist Medical in Navarre. We've been taken our kids their for 6 years. She's the best!! Absolutely great with the kids. She's very popular in the area and so sometimes their are waits. I know about 20 folks who also take their kids to her. Can't say enough good things.
This isn't really a concern but I'm needing recommendations on a good pediatrician in the area. I just got word that the doctor my kids have been seeing for many years...

Santana B. replied:
Dr.Berger is amazing. He just left Crestviee Health Center's pediatric department and he will be missed.
I am looking to move to the area in August and I am hoping to see if there might be any good information on good children pediatrician offices in the area. Here in Ohio...
