Dr. Wachtel comes highly recommended among locals. He's personable, honest, understanding, and respectful of your budget. His office is 222 Summit, Suite 4. Phone 445-0582. Nice staff also. He does quality procedures as well.
Katie F. replied:
I am a dental hygienist at frontier village dental care! Wonderful office very patient friendly and high quality care. We are now accepting new patients. We do same day crowns, laser, in office whitening and digital X-rays!!!! 541-1000
Toni K. replied:
Dr. Raber at Every Kids Dentist, Dr. Sipes is wonderful although she is quitting in a month so I am looking for a pediatrician too. PAH is good, used them until I moved to PV. Now we go to Bradshaw Animal Hospital.
Bruce G. replied:
We've used Ponderosa Pediatrics since we moved here 9 years or so ago...Dr. Hinton is awesome. Although its in Chino, Chino Valley Animal Clinic is where we take our pets.
Heather S. replied:
every kids dentist, cornerstone pediatrics, prescott valley pet clinic, and Brittney Dean for a baby sitter
Jennifer N. replied:
Dr. Brenda Sipes at AZ Adult & Pediatric Medicine is amazing for a pediatrician!
Mary D. replied:
Best Vet...Dr Bryce Smith on White Spar...
Christine R. replied:
Prescott Animal Hospital is wonderful.
Christine R. replied:
I love my dentist Dr Kim Fee on Gurley.
Nancy K. replied:
Hinton is the best pediatric doctor. Dr. Brice Smith Mile-Hi Animal Hospital is I believe the best vet! Welcome and best wishes for settling in.
Maggie P. replied:
Dr. Wulff, Distinctive Dental Care, Willow Creek Rd.; Cozette Smith, Animal Caregiver (PM me for her number; we use her all the time); Dr. Todd Metcalf for holistic veterinary care (Harmony Veterinary Care)
Keri M. replied:
Dr. Brown and staff at "My Kids Dentist" are THE best for children. They are amazing. They also have a Facebook page, check it out, 445-5959. Dr. Hinton at ponderosa pediatrics is wonderful.
Alexis C. replied:
Dr. Smith at Mile High is the best. Steer clear of Dr. Green (I think first name is Lance) for dental.
Kathy G. replied:
Dr. Smith at Mile High Animal Hospital & Dr. Spurgeon at Prescott Dental. Both are awesome!
Melissa W. replied:
Kidzaam has an office in Prescott also. Frontier Village Dental takes adults and kids. I have gone there for 10 years. And Dr. Aranda for medical! Message me for babysitters and dog sitters, I have 3 teenagers that are always looking for ways to make $$. We are close to downtown.
Janeen P. replied:
My Kids Dentist is fantastic! My son has been going there for a couple years and my 2 year old just had her first appt and they were able to put her at ease surprisingly fast. I was impressed. My kids see Dr. Hinton at Ponderosa pediatrics, I like them but the wait times can be long. But they do have Saturday morning appointment which I appreciate. I have heard a lot of people say they like a pediatrician named Dr. Sikes too. For my needs I see Nurse Practitioner Peggy "Petey" Towles with Your Health Clinic. She is warm, caring and very knowledgeable. Welcome to town!
Cathy H. replied:
Granite Mountain Veterinary - very caring
Megan S. replied:
I like the NP at ponderosa Jeanne Gibian but I'm in PV and go to Yavapai pediatrics. Clarisa Smith is the only Dr. and wait times are short. Her staff is amazing. I love it there.

Angela S. replied:
Best pediatrician is Dr. Kathleen Ballard. Best dentist Prescott Modern Dentistry, they have an affiliated kids dental office in the adjacent office, that is also great. We switched there from Kidzaam. Loved Kidzaam, but my daughter is autistic, and Every Kid's Dentist was a better fit. http://www.prescottmoderndentistry.com/?gclid=CJnv-fK2 mL0CFclDMgodiEEAkg&owl_ct=75&s_kwcid=AL%214003%213%2137443116790%21 p%21%21 g%21%21 dentist&ef_id=Uc8WbwAAAZHKBtwR%3A20140317013514%3As I highly recommend Prescott Animal Hospital too. Might be the only vet office I have ever been to that doesn't overcharge or run unnecessary tests. I can't help with the pet sitter, or the baby sitter exactly, but you should check out Go Bananas, if you have little ones. You can drop off for 2 hours during their regular hours, as long as you stay nearby, but on Friday and Saturday nights they do a parents night out from 5-9 pm. $20 bucks for the first kid and $5 for each sibling. Smoking deal, and very good care. The kids LOVE it there. Only problem is they never want to leave.

89 a dental is amazing. I really like Dr. Luce's office for primary care.
Donna D. replied:
Dr Sullivan and Bundy for eye care. Ponderosa Pediatrics. Kathryn Sage naturopathic care. Dr Rosdahl for family dentistry. Dr Jetly will take new patients all the time, but I don't care for him much and only use him while waiting for another PCP to be available. NextCare in PV is great urgent care.

"My Kids Dentist" - Dr. Brown, has an office in both Prescott and Prescott Valley. I have worked there for over 4 years and think it's amazing. Check out our website, mykidsdentist.biz, or our fb page!
Mike F. replied:
Cornerstone Pediatrics, my kids dentist, and rentals are tough but zillow has listings. Coming into Prescott, Prescott Valley, Dewey, or Chino Valley? Wide variability in rental cost and distance to schools in different towns.
Nancy M. replied:
Look on Craigslist for homes to rent. Also the Prescott Daily Courier Classifieds. You can go online and just look up Prescott, Az. Property Rentals. I'm lucky enough to have a really great private landlord, but he has waiting lists for his properties. Very few places allow pets and Be prepared to pay HUGE pet deposits! Good Luck: )
Nancy A. replied:
Most rental places will run your credit so be prepared for that. My kids use Ponderosa Pediatrics but their service has gone downhill since the hospital bought them so we're changing. I agree with the recommendation of Yavapai Pediatrics. I met Dr Smith in my previous role as a business banker and I was so impressed, not just with her and her expertise and obvious care for children, but with her staff and her highly organized office. Welcome to the area, this is s great community and I hope you will be very happy here!
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a Pediatrician? Besides Yavapai Pediatrics?
Lindsey E. replied:
I like both the doctors at Family Medical Walk In on Gurley street in Prescott.
Nichole G. replied:
I switched to Brenda Austen at the community center from Yavapai. She’s pretty good so far

I was devastated when Az Adult and Pediatric closed. In a panic I went to Dr. Ballard and I highly recommend NOT going to her...
Amore C. replied:
My daughters have been seeing Dr. Ballard since my Emma was born. She was in the operating room to take care of Emma during my emergency c- section and has been seeing her ever since. I do know that sometimes it seems that her staff will get people in before me but once I had an extremely sick child and had to leave and come back for tests her staff had me back in a room with in minutes of our return. Of course perception is absolutely reality, f you did not have a good feeling about her of course you will be the best mommy you can be and take your children elsewhere. Dr. Ballard also took the time to help me figure out Emma's rare allergy issues and helped me come up with a plan so that i could continue to breast feed her while also supplementing her diet. its important if your personalities click

Jessica S. replied:
Clarissa Smith at Yavapai pediatric. It's in pv
Tatiana K. replied:
You state that you were in a panic when you went to Dr. Ballard’s. Did you schedule an appointment for that day when you had to wait for 20 minutes or more? I would consider it a blessing to be even seen by a doctor with a same day visit and 20 minutes is nothing compared to the 4-6 hour wait you will have in the emergency room. She is a single doctor running an office without any other practitioners’, what are you expecting? In what ways was she telling you how to live? I bring both of my daughters there and she is responsible for helping diagnose my youngest with a rare type of food allergy that other specialists were having trouble with. She went the extra mile and was thorough in seeing what tests needed to be ordered and finding out what was going on. My daughter before this was losing weight and was diagnosed with failure to thrive and was less than 3% on the growth chart no matter how much she ate because her body wasn’t absorbing the nutrients it needed to and she ended up getting reflux due to it. She sent us to a specialist she regarded highly and she was put on an amino acid based formula where it turned the whole situation around and now she is a healthy beautiful little girl who is now up to 60% on the growth chart and full of spunk and energy. Part of this process involved feedings that were given via NG(Nasogastric) tube and Dr. Ballard got us help from an occupational specialist so she didn’t have an oral aversion or end up developmentally behind because of the ordeal. When it comes to a doctor I really don’t care about wait times as long it is not in a large excess. What I care about is receiving proper care and Dr. Ballard has done that time and again for my children.
Bruce G. replied:
Dr. Hinton at Ponderosa Pediatrics...Awesome doc, my kids have been going to him since we moved up here 10 years ago...
Janessa J. replied:
My son also goes to Ponderosa Pedi and always sees the same doctor. You just have to request an appt with your preferred Dr. I guess he/she may not be available in a pinch for a sick visit, but it should work for well checks. But you're looking for a female doctor and we see Dr. Hinton there so I can't help ya much! lol

They closed their practice because of Obama Care. That was the exact explanation we got.. We miss Dr. Sipes.

Laurel F. replied:
Dr Ballard also diagnosed a serious problem with my newborn after other pediatricians basically patted me on the head and treated me like a nervous mom. She listened, ordered testing, and got it fixed.
Valerie M. replied:
I've taken my daughter to Ponderosa Pediatric Clinic for years, they are very well organized and have super doctors.
Rebecca B. replied:
Amber Avary Tyson - no but I'm going to track her down, darn it! LOL!
Jodi V. replied:
Rachel Sheldon to help you make your decision all the pediatrics office will do a free meet and greet. This way you can make an educated decision about your child's doc. You will be able to see wait time, meet the staff and the Dr and ask any questions you have about the practice. I also recommend Michelle Copeland at Ponderosa. She is a great NP, good listener and timely. I have worked in pediatrics for almost 14 years and unfortunately you will see more 20 minute wait times at one point or another no matter where you go...and in pediatrics a "sicker" kiddo may be pulled back before yours. I would highly recommend checking out each practice for yourself. We all have different likes and dislikes and expectations as parents. I wish you the best!!
Can anyone recommend a good pediatrician? And also a good family Dr?
Valerie G. replied:
NOT Ponderosa Pediatrics. They suck. Yavapai Pediatrics has been great since I switched.

Asiah A. replied:
I actually love Dr. Hinton at Ponderosa and hated going to the Yavapai Health office with Dr. Green. I got 3 different times of when I was supposed to show up for an appointment, it definitely didn't feel like the cleanest place, and the doctor stuck his hands in my son's mouth and didn't even wash them. I think ponderosa is great.

I love love Dr. Hinton. The problem is, he is with Ponderosa Pediatrics. And a few years ago they sold out to the hospital or some sort of merger kind of thing. Ever since then. I agree with the lady above and her level of trust. It is absolutely horrific in there. I have been round and round and round with the office manager. I can't remember his name. He himself has been as helpful as he can possibly be. But the clinic itself is horrific, and one of the PAs. I can't remember her name right this minute either, I was reading the notes from one of our visits. She completely missed stated several things.
