Wow, thank you all so much for so many responses, I really love North Port Scoop for bringing our community a little closer! I chose Dr.Flagel they were quick to get me in tomorrow.
Sandy E. replied:
Tanya AkamrsNix Murabito Papatola - if your referring to Dr. Deguia or the other younger female doctor you would be right in saying they are good. Unfortunately the last few times I have brought both my kids in there they had moved them to the sarasota health dept or so I was told. There is some newer guy doctor, who doesn't speak English well, who I am referring to specifically. I miss my kid's pediatrician, but I was there back in dec. and he was still there and she was still gone.
I gotta pick out a pediatrician real soon. any suggestions for pc?
Nicool G. replied:
did you get your babies vaccinated? Sarah Andre Penrose
Ashley P. replied:
I live in Arcadia though so we switched to Dr Harrison and she is also amazing!!!! She doesn't force anything on you. Like vaccinations etc. We chose not to VAX and she didn't bitch at all or make me feel bad. And she has Twp young kids so she knows all the more up to date stuff.
Nicool G. replied:
does Rodriguez have a hard to understand accent? Sarah Andre Penrose
Jessy V. replied:
My mother in law works for him and their great DR. Rodriguez
Sarah P. replied:
Nicool Golden he has an accent but he's not hard to understand. I honestly don't care what sex the DR is as long as they do a good job. Rodriguezs staff is predominantly Hispanic, but I've not had any issue with language barriers
Hey mamas! Anyone know of any good pediatricians in North Port area? I'm sick of dealing with the clinic. Also any suggestions on a doctor for myself too? Thanks in...
Can anyone recommend any good pediatricians?? I had my heart set on Dr. Helgamo but they can't accept any more Medicaid patients :(
Kara B. replied:
Dr Cepero
Holly C. replied:
Dr. Williams is awesome, she's so great with kids.
Craig L. replied:

Jennifer S. replied:

Mary T. replied:
Dr. Cepero
Katrina S. replied:
We used to go to Dr Williams (loved her), but she stopped accepting Medicaid and my kids were on it at the time. We then switched to Dr Helgemo, they use to partner together so I knew he was a good doctor. While there, we haven't just seen him solely. ...See More
Fallyn H. replied:
Dr. Williams is amazing, but I don't think she accepts Medicaid.
Holly C. replied:
When Liz had Myla she told the hospital she wanted Dr. Williams and they told her she didn't except Medicaid, but yet her website says she does and I know girls that go to her that have Medicaid.
Emily H. replied:
They don't take it! I've heard a lot of great things about Dr. Williams too. I'll have to check out Dr. Cepero. Thanks ladies!!:)
Angelica E. replied:
Dr. Rodriguez or dr casanova, dr butt. All good peds. My kids have dr carmen through dr helgemo office. Good luck
Jessica H. replied:
We really like Dr. Williams. Both boys go to her. Not sure about the insurance.
Poor alysia. She has her two year check up and gets shots today. ): she hates this guy. So anyone know of any good pediatricians around? I'm not a very big fan of this...
