Hello future neighbors! We're moving there in July and I've seen a few people post that they are moving to the area soon, so I thought it might be helpful for some of us...
Cecilia M. replied:
I love, love, love my hairdresser: Cami Ewing at Revolutions Spa in Carlsbad. We actually just got AT&T u-verse so it has come at least to our part of the hood. It's $40/month cheaper than Cox. I second the Flying Pig for best area restaurant. 333 is also good for a date night (a little pricey, but good). Since I know you're military you can also look into the sports on base. We chose to go out in town and have been happy with Breakers soccer and Oceanside Valley Little League, but know others happy with base sports.
Lawrence A. replied:
X3 Flying Pig. Keep it simple....it's not a SteakHouse., but even the starters/sides can be meals

Julie K. replied:
Talk to Bryan Harper at Team Quest for MMA (kids and adults). 760-722-3127. Oceanside Valley Little League is local and good for little ones, oceansidevalleyll.com. Season starts in February. If you need babysitters after you get here PM me.
Nicole G. replied:
Thank you Kim, Cecilia, and Lawrence! So glad to hear about AT&T Uverse
Trey W. replied:
The Flying Pig Pub & Kitchen is a MUST. We also love Killer Pizza From Mars Oceanside. Fratelli's Oceanside usually carries local brews and they have some great pasta.
Joann M. replied:
We can't wait to meet you. I have a pediatrics office that I highly recommend. I've been with Dr. Sherine Parker760-941-3630 and her office for the past 10 years. She is GREAT.. Dentist, Dr. Paul Rappaport in Carlsbad, 760-730-0400 the best! very clean and thorough. I was lucky to find these 2 right away when I moved out here. Love the Mottino YMCA. Farmers market- check out this web site http://sdfarmbureau.org/BuyLocal/Farmers-Markets.php, Hairdresser, I'm still looking until I find the "ONE" I can't let go of my hairdresser in NY sports- check out the Oceanside recreation - http://www.ci.oceanside.ca.us/gov/ns/parks/default.asp .... hope this helps
Wendy J. replied:
Cleaner Sonia salas Hairdresser Dana Ferrang at Split Ends Dentis Dr Shumaker in vista. Lawn care Thomas or Miguel. I can give you numbers if you want any of those. Welcome to the neighborhood!
Nicole G. replied:
I was able to confirm AT&T U-verse is available! So much less expensive and all the same features (and more)
Danielle C. replied:
We use Dipity dog, love them. (760) 439-3313. YMCA is (760) 758-0808, not the cheapest gym around, but it's nice. Soccer is oceansidebreakers.org, they are registering now for the fall. T ball is Oceanside Valley Little League, I believe T-ball is only in the spring though.
Trey W. replied:
Wendy Miller Jones we had UVerse at our old place when it first came out. It was much cheaper and a great improvement over our existing internet. When we moved in a year ago, UVerse wasn't available, so we went with Cox (crazy expensive IMO), but the speeds are the high and it's been very reliable. I'm a remote employee too so reliability and speed are a must.
Jacqueline --> https://www.facebook.com/jacqueline.starkey.9 <-- She is AMAZING!!! She teaches at Chesapeake Hospital and she has her own doula company!
Tammy C. replied:
I absolutely love PDC pediatrics www.chkd.org/pdc! Wonderful group of doctors and they have offices by the new Virginia beach hospital as well as the interstate commerce center by sentara Leigh both close !
Erin C. replied:
Dr. Robert Fink at Pediatric Specialists is really well-known and respected around here. Best doctor! They're in the CHKD network too and have locations in Norfolk and Chesapeake. I live in Kempsville and it's not far at all. As far as classes, I took a birthing class with my first son (have 3), but honestly, you will just fine without. The nurse will be so helpful to you.
Pediatrician recommendations? Does anyone have a pediatrician in the area that they like and would recommend?
astro_rach replied:
North Shore Pediatrics. They've got 2 offices now, and both are good, but the original Little Creek Rd. location is my recommendation.

Not sure if you want to stay in Norfolk or are ok with Virginia Beach, but I’ve been really happy with Dr Kent at Town Center Pediatrics. She’s also a certified lactation consultant, so I love recommending her to new moms who plan on breastfeeding.

Deborah S. replied:
I agree with Cassandra. Dr. Garrison is my son's Pediatrician and mine when I was little:-)
Amy W. replied:
Pediatric associates. They have 2 offices, after hours and emergency weekend hours. I loved dr. Emily Schank. She talked to me on the same level. And as a new mom herself, she was very understanding to my concerns and listened to me about Emily losing all the weight and being sick all the time which led to her Celiac Disease diagnosis.

We use pediatrician Dr. Roger Thompson at Saint Anthony's. Both of my kids love him; he is so gentle and compassionate. I used Dr. Alyson Willis as my OB at Saint Anthony's. Love her and the labor & delivery unit at Saints. I've heard dental depot in Midwest City is great for a pediatric dentist. (We currently use Dr. Tenelle Cheek-Covey at Precision Dental. She is good when she has looked in my daughter's mouth to get her used to the dentist.) I lived in Pcola when I met my husband (he was down for swim phys). I have lived here for 5 yr and my husband 10. My husband is an FE at VQ4. We have a 25 mo girl and 7 mo boy. PM me if you have any other questions!
