Pediatrician recommendations? Hi all! My husband and I are expecting our first child this January and need to scout out pediatricians. I am not from the area and he is...

Dr. Good with Highland Pediatrics on Hixson Pike has been great for us and our 9 month old.

Highland Pediatric in Hixson is fantastic. I've recommended them to many that love all the doctors there. We go with Dr. Coffman but have never been disappointed by an of the others.

I love both of the docs (Jeanie jung and Kendra Simpson ) at Chattanooga peds in Jenkins rd. My sis who is a pediatric ER nurse said she’d take her kids to no one else in town...

+1 with Highland! Dr Wood & Good are both awesome.

Take time now to visit some of the recommendations to ferret out what you nay or may not like yourself about different doctors, their way of doing things, etc. There is some decent pediatric care in the area but a lot of the time what meshes with one does not have same chemistry with others. Waiting until the precious is born will make things trickier. You can get a lot of info with some quickie visits to check out their places of practice and also interacting with their staff. Sometimes one parent likes one outfit and the partner prefers another ... Checking out 3 or 4 prior to locking in on one seems sensible. fwiw: 4 kids here; been through similar process here in town..

Dr. Wessels at Allied Pediatrics (and all of her NP's) is absolutely wonderful. We recently moved away from the Chattanooga area and I was heartbroken to leave Allied Peds. They're so helpful and they really listen to you. They went above and beyond for us many times.

Dr Tonia Cox. She is amazing with kids and goes above expectations to make herself available to her patients. She eased so much of our stress as first time parents. She’s with Pediatric Diagnostics.

Galen North Pediatrics My pediatrician was Dr. Tim Davis, I then moved to Dr.Brannon, but my sister loves Dr. Shumaker and I've heard good things about Wiley and Truelove http://www.galenmedical.com/124

Pediatric Diagnostics is the bomb. We've been seeing Dr. Friddell for almost 8 years now, but all of the physicians there are great!
Dr. Timothy Gunter at Galen is very nice. He spends a lot of time in the room with you and answers all questions thoroughly.

My kids saw Dr Wiley there but they don't take my new insurance:(

Ohh well Elizabeth Carter at PDA is very good. I saw her as a kid. I think most doctor's at that practice have great reviews. It's the one behind Starbucks on Gunbarrell. Maybe they'll take your insurance?
