Highly recommended - Lake Mary Pediatrics in Orange City!!!! They've always diagnosed my son correctly the first time, their staff is always happy to see you and friendly. I'm able to get referrals within fifteen minutes, and we've never had to wait longer than fifteen minutes in the waiting room. Plus, they have Twilight Express (their own urgent care center - that only charges an office visit, not an urgent care fee); which keeps their office open 365 days a year, up until 9 p.m. http://www.lmpeds.com/ (386) 960-8282
