Susie F. replied:
Leawood Pediatrics! Dr Aundria Speropolous. She's been with my kids since the day they were born and I trust her completely! They have Saturday, walkin hours and some evening hours too! She's got 4 you kids of her own too including twin boys. She ve ry practical and doesn't waste your time on bogus remedies. Most importantly my kids adore her and her nurse, Amanda. 913-825-3627. Located corner of College and Nall. Good luck momma!
Amanda M. replied:
My kids see Dr. Megan Loeb. They are all good though.
Shelley N. replied:
We've had our pediatrician since Sam was born... We LOVE her! Dr. Claire White, Pediatric Care Specialists, 913.906.0900. Her office is at St. Luke's South and she has admitting rights at Children's Mercy Hospital, too. Highly recommend...
Rebecca R. replied:
Dr Amanda Hostetler.
Jill K. replied:
Pediatric Care Specialists, is the best!!! So organized, love the nurses and all of the doctors, never have to wait and will always get you in if you need to be seen the same day. We see Dr. Martin
Aubrey H. replied:
We see Claire White at PCS. She is really nice
Cheryl W. replied:
I agree with Dr. Winburn premiere pediatrics
Susan L. replied:
Dr Debra Winburn had 4 and a half to 5 stars
Tammy H. replied:
I was going to say Leawood Pediatrics... Dr Speropolous is amazing (they are all good) but I especially liked her when my babies were babies! She knows her stuff. I don't go there anymore, just because of the distance and we don't have to go very often at all. But for a brand new baby & mommy! She is the best!! Good luck, nice planning ahead
Mary M. replied:
When we lived there we used Pediatric Partners and they were great.
Kim P. replied:
Pediatric Partners for sure. Dr. Ratliff is fantastic!
Kelly C. replied:
Janice Martin
Danielle G. replied:
We have gone to Pediatric Partners since my oldest was born and LOVE Dr. Mellick! They had (don't know if they still do) a meet and greet once a month I think where you can go learn more about their office. We like the NPs also which is who you will likely see on the fly. Dr. Ratliff is great also, a sorority sister of mine but she came after we had already started with Mellick. My girls love her!
Rebecca S. replied:
Dr. DeRoo is great!
Ashley M. replied:
Dr. Claire White Pediatric Care Specialists! They are awesome!
Amy S. replied:
Go with Dr. Debra Winburn@Pediatric Partner! I promise you guys will love her and their whole office, its a 5 min drive
Brandi J. replied:
Scott Dattle at KC Pediatrics. Loved that practice for my kiddos. Staff is equally as awesome.
Jennifer F. replied:
I went to high school with Scott Dattle. Have heard fantastic things about all my friends who used him.

Dr Viera over at Gardner is wonderful.

Ed H. replied:

Sarah M. replied:
I go to Dr Baker at pediatric associates!
Angela M. replied:
We use Pediatric Associates, Dr. Vu. There are five doctors in the practice total and I have always been able to get an appointment same day if you needed. They are all fantastic but I love Dr. Vu! Next to the great mall across from the pavilion. (913) 782-2525
Lucinda S. replied:
We switched from Dr Baker, who is great too. We just like having everyone together.
Rachel C. replied:
Dr. Voleker at preferred pediatrics
Jennifer P. replied:
Dr Carlos Monzon he is across from Olathe Med.
Andrea C. replied:
I would not do Gardner family care for a pediatrician he miss disgnoses. Dr Carlos Monzon doesn't take New patients. We switch to Dr. Vu st pediatric associated of olathe across from the great mall. I am happy we switched she seems to care a lot more than todd Morrison
Terri D. replied:
Dr Punswick at Gardner Family Care is AWESOME
Kenya H. replied:
Preferred pediatrics, across from omc. 764-7061
Stacey K. replied:
I use Preferred Pediatrics, love Dr. Shanker!!
Amber L. replied:
Dr Michelle Vieira, Gardner Family Care!
Amanda A. replied:
Preffered pediatrics. Dr Hettinger is amazing!
Jacque H. replied:
Preffered pediatrics.... AMAZING... right next to Olathe Med
Who knows of a pediatrician in Olathe that's good with babies.
Elizabeth D. replied:
Dr. Monzon is on of the best!!!!!! He might have a waiting list, but you should check into him!!!!
Patrice B. replied:
Dr. DeRoo is a joke. We like all the drs at Preferred Pediatrics across from OMC.
Jennifer B. replied:
Pediatric of Olathe...Dr Heather Baker. She is amazing.
Jennifer B. replied:
Heather Baker is in the same office as Monzon.
Steve B. replied:
Dr. Laura Ray at Compassionate Family Care. She's not pediatric but she delivers and sees the whole family from birth on.
Jennifer P. replied:
Add us to the votes for Dr Carlos Monzon. He is amazing. He is so good with kids. He has promised me he wont retire until my baby is done with his care! smile emoticon 17 more yrs. Lol
Taylor E. replied:
Dr. Gillespie. She's awesome with my baby!
Darla M. replied:
Monzon 913-782-2525 Ive spent 18 years with him ( my oldest daughter) , my youngest 3 still see him
Ashley P. replied:
Dr Mark Deroo at college point medical in Olathe! He's amazing!
Paula A. replied:
Dr. Hilary Nash at College Park Family Care at 151 st St. office
Angela M. replied:
Dr. Eileen Vu at pediatric associates (next to the great mall). There are 5-6 doctors there and all we have met are nice but I know she's fantastic!
Samantha D. replied:
I've only seen Monzon once and wasn't one of his regulars so I felt rushed, but I know that's not his normal deal, so I don't hold that against him. I DO love all the other doctors I've seen in that office. Grimaldi did my infant care (and was great), but I'd take any new infants I had to Vu or Baker in the same office. They're a good group at that practice. Dr Vu is my favorite. Very good at explaining things to the parents as well as to the kids once you get to that point.
Andrea R. replied:
Well everyone has their own opinion about Dr.'s for their children. Dr.Deroo has helped us with our child and always been up front with us. So, as for Andrea Kay Andrea Kay Casaert, you can make your own opinion when you find a dr for your child.
May be interested in a pediatrician here in Gardner or Olathe. We just moved here from OP a few months ago and that is where her pediatrician is. I love her dr and the...
Karen S. replied:
We travel to Leawood Pediatrics. 100% worth it
Joseph B. replied:
Dr Todd Morrison at Gardner Family care
Paula B. replied:
I worked at Pediatric Associates for 9 years and all those docs are wonderful
Teresa H. replied:
Love Heather Baker too
Michelle S. replied:
Love all the drs at Preferred Pediatrics. Dr Hettinger and Dr Voelker are super sweet as is Dr Miller and Dr Shanker. They're just west of the Great Mall off 151 st.
Melissa S. replied:
I really love the nurse practitioner at Gardner family care...Angela Rupp-Katzer. She has days she does appointments and days that she has walk in.
Terri S. replied:
Dr. Punswick at Gardner Family Care. He is a great guy, awesome with kiddos.
Brooke L. replied:
We had really bad experiences with 2 Dr's at Preferred Pediatrics. Switched our whole family to Dr. Punswick and couldn't be happier. Sometimes I feel like he likes my kids more than I do.
Samantha D. replied:
Another vote here for Pediatric Associates in Olathe, right by Olathe Med. We've seen Drs. Grimaldi and Baker, both of whom are great doctors... and currently we see Dr. Vu...she's fantastic. I love the time she takes to explain to my very inquisitiv e 6 year old exactly what she's doing and why. When she needed to check his groin area in a routine check up and explained to him that the only time it was ok for someone to touch him there or look there was when they were a doctor and mom was in the room too, she won my business for as long as we need a pediatric doc. He loves going to see Dr. Vu...which sounds weird, but it's true.:)
Anyone have recommendations for a pediatrician and pediatric dentist?
Lesli L. replied:
Johnson County Pediatrics. Dr. Bush is great!
Lesli L. replied:
I'm sorry. Dr. Bush was with JoCo Peds. He is with Premier Pediatrics.
Kate G. replied:
Agree with Johnson Couny Ped. Dr. Christine White is A-mazing. And there is no better dentist for kids than Jill Jenkins and Jenkins and LeBlanc
MacKinzie M. replied:
Pediatric partners at 135 th and metcalf. I work there and we have amazing providers. Not to mention awesome hours, including urgent care! Www.pediatricpartnerskc.com

Lauren B. replied:
Dr. Greenwood is also who I would recommend. I live here now and have the last two years but will be returning to NE in two weeks. Feel free to PM if you want recommendations on areas to live and things to do.
Melodie B. replied:
I moved from there 4 years ago. We used Dr. John Greenwood in Olathe. I lived downtown, and let me tell you, after 3 complete duds, it was worth the drive! It looks like he's changed practices, but same guy. He's a family doc, not a ped, but he's sooo good with kids. He co-slept, wife breastfed, the whole shebang. Didn't pressure vaccinations. Didn't have a boy, so don't know about circ. Here's a link about him. http://m.olathehealth.org/Find-A-Doctor/Detail?id=21320
Molly T. replied:
Chiro recommendations: Dr Amanda Hickman is in north KC and Dr Alyssa Zonarich in Overland Park. I know both personally and professionally and are amazing! I've also heard great things about Dr Greenwood.
Does anyone have recommendations for Children's Therapists/psychiatrist? We have been using a wonderful play therapist but I am not sure that is the direction we need...
Aundria A. replied:
Dr. Martha Barnard with KU Pediatrics. Office is in Prairie Village. The BEST you will ever find! Part of KU faculty, highly respected amongst any pediatrician or pediatrics professional that went through KU Med School. Asked to speak across the country. Helped me and my family when we went through the loss of my dad twenty years ago. 913-588-1227. LOVE her!!

Alright friends! Any awesome Pediatrician recommendations?? We're looking for a new one and would prefer your opinions over randoms off the interwebs ;) Thanks!
Kristen D. replied:
Dr. Bryan Nelson@JoCo Pediatrics. He was my pediatrician and is now my girls... amazing man!
Amber M. replied:
We love ours, same one since Liam was born. Hannah Harris at Pediatric Care Specialist in Overland Park. She is awesome, very kind, remembers tons of details about the boys even tho we only see her once a year since we haven't gone in for a sick appt yet lol, and not pushy or anything like that
Ann W. replied:
T- we also go to Pediatric Care Specialists- most are CMH trained and I was working when Jason Wichman was a resident, was impressed and that's why we chose that office. Hannah is great, Stacy, the other NP, used to work at CMH under my current boss. Megan Loeb is another one I adored. Julie Longly at... Ugh. Forgot but you can google her- was a hospitalist I worked with for about 7 years. Lance Slaymaker managed patients inpatient back when that was still policy and he was great, several folks have asked for recommendations and gone to him. There are a few that if you were to give me names I can personally message you to share opinions. **I'm speaking all these names through experience and not through my association w CMH and are my own words.
Jennifer H. replied:
We also go to Pediatric Care Specialists in OP. We have Dr Janice Martin who was referred to me by my Aunt when i was pregnant with Jake. Dr White saw jake in the hospital for his first newborn. I have not had any issues with them and i think have seen every dr for jake and addie in the last 5+ yrs.
Ann D. replied:
We go to Pediatric Professional Association. I LOVE their group. I love Jay's doc, Dr. Flint. She is quick, good with him and detailed on information.
Ahlecs G. replied:
Dr. Rozina at KU Medwest
Angela M. replied:
Premier Pediatrics!!! Dr. Bush and Dr. Winburn are both amazing!!!!
Ryan F. replied:
Village pediatrics- Dr. Lance Slaymaker has taken care of both of our kids and is amazing with them. The nursing staff is younger and the kids love them all.
Julie L. replied:
Dr Jen Andrews at Shawnee mission pediatrics. Love her! She is great as is every other dr we have seen in the practice.
Mary A. replied:
Hilary Nash at college park in Olathe!!
Lydia P. replied:
Dr. Winburn at premier pediatric. Best walk in clinic, best rn, best everything
Christen H. replied:
We know and love Dr Burns at pure health too. He has been seeing our family for a couple years now. We also see dr Christine White at JOCO Pediatrics, but always hard to get into unless uve scheduled ur routine check up. The great thing about Pure health is that they have walk in and everyone there is great. Trust me, we've seen them all.
Sarah R. replied:
When we lived there we went to David Yu at Heartland Pediatrics. They had two offices--one near Legends an other I think at 95 th and K7. Highly recommend him!
Traci M. replied:
Ann Page Wagar and Holly we do the alternate vaccination schedule so that will play a role in our decision as well. Ann I will probably take you up on running a name or two by you, thanks so much!
Halley D. replied:
I'm late to the party, but let me STRONGLY recommend Dr. Lance Miller at Preferred Pediatrics in Overland Park. He is perhaps the kindest man I have ever met, and he puts both of my kids (and my nervous self) instantly at ease. He's been such an encouragement to me.
Sara T. replied:
We love Dr. Stuppy at Pediatric Partners at 69 hwy and 135 th.
Reality set in today when I went to the doctor and she told me that she will need to see me every two weeks from here on out! Time has gone so quickly with this one; so...
Ashlee Q. replied:
I don't know any daycare providers but Dr. Andrews at Shawnee Mission Pediatrics is awesome and who we plan to use.
Aimee C. replied:
Dr. Heather Baker on 151 st across from Olathe Med. We LOVE her!
Alicia P. replied:
Pediatric associates of Olathe (across from Olathe med) is great. I've heard great things about all the doctors there. Our little boy is 2 weeks old & is seeing doctor Grimaldi. She has been awesome!
Jenna L. replied:
Callie sees Dr. Allison Hettinger at Preferred Pediatrics. We absolutely love her. Their Olathe office is right across from Olathe Med.
Looking for a great pediatrician. Nothing necessarily wrong with ours, but I just don't feel like its the best fit. Please let me know if you have one you love! Bedside...
Susan W. replied:
We LOVE Dr. Schloegel at Pediatric Care Specialists. He's next to St. Luke's South though, not in Olathe. Only a 15 minute drive, but we have gone to him since Reagan was born. There are several doctors there and we just really appreciate his common sense and how he spends quality time with the girls. Not an in the door & how quickly can I get back out type of doctor.:-)
Jennifer E. replied:
A friend of mine will be at the Pedatric Partners in Overland Park (133 rd and Metcalf) starting in September. His name is Peter Carter - I've known him since middle school - we went to church together growing up. Fantastic guy.
Jessica H. replied:
Dr Deroo's office is good it in Olathe at k10 and college. I like both Deroo and Nitsche sp? Plus the have a great walk in clinic. It's college point medical clinic
Ruth W. replied:
Dr. Liliane Baraban pediatric professional associates 435 and Quivera. Cannot say enough about her - she was an angel to me and both my boys adore her. Good luck!
Melissa C. replied:
Dr. Windburn at premier pediatrics. Love her.
Allison C. replied:
Dr. Jennifer mellick! Love her have been using her for years. She is so sweet and has 4 kids of her own. Yu guys would love her
Difference between pediatrician and family practice? Referrals for pediatrician.
Annalea E. replied:
My friend recommended Dr. Cassandra McKarnin to me before Kenadie was born. I set up a visit with her just to meet and ask her questions. We haven't gone anywhere since. She loves Jesus and people. Perfect combo and she is amazing!
Kim L. replied:
Dr. Marion Spence Pierson is my choice. She's at Village Pediatrics. In its simplest form, a pediatrician only treats children (up to 18 or 21). A family practitioner treats from cradle to grave.
Tabitha S. replied:
We love, love, love our Pediatrician!! Dr. Delsie Filardi at Pediatric Professional Association..435 & Quivira. The kids have had her for 7 years, and they both love her; she's soooo personable as well.
Ok, KC area friends...tell me about Children's Mercy (I'm guessing South location would be the closest to Olathe for my kiddos)...any recommendations for pediatrician,...
Laura E. replied:
I love CMH. My pediatrician is at Shawnee Mission Pediatrics. I love all the staff, docs, and nurses.
Mandi M. replied:
Mandy Gramkow I think that all of the specialists work at all of the branches of CMH, as we are seeing the ENT at Independence location after seeing her at downtown twice, and they asked our location preference so guessing she serves at all 3 locations). I really like her...she is VERY supportive of mothers intuition! Dr. Latz is her name.
This is not coupon related ... Can anyone recommend a pediatrician around the Olathe area? We've gone to the sameone since the kids where babies but feel at this time we...
Ashley H. replied:
Pediatric Associates here as well. Have been seeing Dr. Tara Grimaldi for over 5 years. Have seen others when she isn't there as well for other things & love the office. They even checked up to see how a visit at a referral went.
