Shauna H. replied:
We see Dr. Clary and Karen Wilkerson at Oak Ridge Pediatrics and have for 13 yrs. Karen has been amazing with our daughters complex medical problems. They are the only doctors we will see. I've interacted with other doctors of children we have custody of and I've always ended up frustrated.
Heather P. replied:

Sharon D. replied:
We have been with Oak Ridge Pediatrics for over 17 years! They are wonderful! We like them all but choose to see Karen Wilkinson if she's available because she is just sooooo good; thorough, insightful, patient, etc!!
Sarah C. replied:
Dr. Cliff James! Kids central pediatrics is the BEST! A very friendly environment and each room has a different theme from frozen to monsters inc! It's so warm and cozy! Highly recommend!
Leisa H. replied:
Dr James is the best ever. Raised my kids with another that is now retired. Dr James wasn't here then. Having worked at MMC laboratory for 28 years, I will say he cares about and follows up on his kids!!!! He is always reachable also!!
Karen M. replied:
We use Oak Ridge Pediatrics, but I grew up in the Children's Clinic (think 1980's lol) and lots of my friends use Dr James too. You really can't go wrong, BUT Oak Ridge Pediatric clinic is open 7 days a week. HTH!
Heather L. replied:
I love Dr. McCalister at oak ridge pediatrics. I live 30 min away and still drive that distance to see him. He's wonderful. Always makes me feel at ease & really listens to my concerns and opinions with an open mind. Never makes me feel silly for questioning.
Ron S. replied:
Dr Clary is good. Raised 2 boys with his help.

Leigh F. replied:
We use the Children's Clinic in Oak Ridge for pediatricians. There are multiple doctors and PAs. Appointments are usually the same day if needed and they have weekend hours. We love Dr. Cheney. First Steps Child Development Center and Heritage preschool are both great child care options. Also, early head start is a free program for ages 6 weeks to 3.
Beth B. replied:
I second Dr. Cheney. He's great with my baby, and he's always patiently answered my new mom questions. He was even kind enough to hold his laughter the first time she got a cold and I showed up in a tizzy.
Rachael J. replied:
We just moved to the area and are on tenncare. I've called around in oak ridge and did not find a pediatrician accepting new Tenn care patients unless they are newborns. So I suggest looking into Knoxville.
Michelle S. replied:
I don't know if they take tenncare but they are awesome Kids Central Pediatrics.
Amanda W. replied:
Try Clinton pediatrics. They are great! And my middle child has autism and sensory processing disorder and he loves it there.
Elizabeth A. replied:
None of the dr. Mention here are accepting new tenncare patients but I found Powell pediatrics about 20 min from here and he has been excellent with my ASD child.
Kim A. replied:
Jennifer Birdie Stella do u know of a dr for her son
Looking for recommendations- need a pediatrician in Oak Ridge that accepts Tencare?
Amber C. replied:
Depends on which kind of Tenncare you have. Having the United Healthcare option apparently complicates things a bit. Only place I've found, so far, for a non-newborn that takes that particular option is The Children's Clinic, but they're not taking new patients until the beginning of the year.
Tim R. replied:
We see doctor mccalister at OR Pediatrics. He's super nice and very knowledgeable. I've had some bad experience with a lot of doctors lately but he is definitely one of the better ones we've had in a while.
