Anybody know of good pediatricians in the area that accept Medicaid? My daughter is 14 months and so far I've had horrible doctors :( and she needs her 15 month checkup...

Linda R. replied:
Dr. Arroyo in Trinity took care of my son from the age of 5 or 6 up until he turned 18! Accepts Healthy Kids of FL so I would imagine he accepts Medicaid as well.
Nicole N. replied:
Not sure where you are but we drive from npr to Brooksville to see Dr. Qureshi at Suncoast Pediatrics. He's always amazing and he honestly listens to you as a parent rather than giving you a yea yea whatever like most other places.
Nova goes to Dr. James Dwyer on SR 54 near Starkey Rd. He's gentle and real. You can check out the website www.npmpc.com or call to see if they take your insurance at 727-376-8404. They even take the little babes. Total contrast from Dr. you currently are dealing with. Hang in there. The right one will come along.
Mesjá V. replied:
Have you tried North Pinellas Children's Medical Center? Both Dr. Weber (female) and Dr. Alvarez (male) are very good. Sophia sees Dr. Allison in their Westchase office.
Kasey G. replied:
we have Dr. Dwyer too, I'm surprised they aren't accepting they usually always are.

River's Edge Pediatrics. Was my Dr up until about a year before I had Ray, would never think of sending her anywhere else. Well, at least until we move. lol We're not huge fans of Dr. Dondero, but they make sure we see Joy Lewis every time, she's fucking awesome.:)

I loved sun country pediatrics in spring hill. Dr Griffen was amazing with Lucas.
I made a post about best pediatricians in the area, now I am looking for a good pediatric dentist:) my daughter is 14 months and sometimes hated getting her teeth...
Irene W. replied:
Not Cobb Dental. They refused to ler me back with my son for cavities and a crown, office staff was always very rude. My 9 yr old complained about how the dentist never explained any procedure, just came in, went to work, and left. Very impersonal. Had the assistant say how straight his teeth were, and probably wouldn't ever need braces, then the front desk asked if I wanted to make an appt with the orthodontist for braces. There was just a big thread about pedi dentists the other day, no Cobb fans Hopefully others will post here, too.
Irene W. replied:
The only ones I've found are Cobb and the Health Dept
Rose W. replied:
Safari is great. Dr. Frank is awesome with the kids
Casey C. replied:
I actually love Cobbe Dental on 19. My kids were terrified of the dentist because of bad experiences elsewhere. But I go back with them during every procedure although my kids get mad that I do because they are so "grown-up) ages 11, 7, and 5.
Caroline F. replied:
I use safari for all 3 of my kids. Dr. Frank is amazing. Friendly staff, always efficient, can always be with your kid.
Irene W. replied:
I discovered the Health Dept Dental office on Little Rd. Clean office, polite and explain every procedure, no question about me staying with him, except for xrays. The dentist is patient and kind.
Irene W. replied:
Yes, its 727-861-5250. It's automated at first, you choose option for the Dental Clinic
