Any Tri-Cities mamas (or papas) have recommendations on pediatricians? I think I'd like to keep it within Kadlec since my OBGYN and general practitioner are there as...

I like Three Rivers Family Medicine. They are across the street from the Hospital- they serve the whole family and Dr Benedict has been amazing with my kids from the beginning.
Lona B. replied:
They have extended hours, same day appointments, emergency care and their phone is 943-3196. They are always so good with everyone!

Hillary T. replied:

Erica R. replied:
I second Lona! Three Rivers, we used Dr. Patillo and he's been great!
Josefa S. replied:
I agree with Hillary! LOVE DOCTOR Matta. He has lots of really good reviews. Been taking Gabi to him since she was like two and Lulu the whole time. He's a great doctor and love his staff. Our first few years with Gabi we jumped around a lot, but we finally settled with Matta. Also nice, if you call afterhours he will call you back with help after hours.

Three Rivers Family Medicine is awesome!

Doug C. replied:

Need a pediatrician ladies! Who would you recommend?
Anna G. replied:
Dr Francis Dernbach.... Is wonderful! I love that she pays attention to the smallest thing... Very gentle and great with the kids!
YarolandHolly R. replied:
I've heard good things about dr matta (or mata?) from the nurses at Kadlec. If you're still unsure when you deliver, ask the nurses at the hospital who they take their kids to. It's a safe bet that if the nurses like them, it's for good reason. As an aside, I also got a recommendation for Dr DeVera at the Lourdes clinic in Pasco. We did visit him before our insurance changed and I was super impressed with him, though not so much his office nurse. He took a ton of time talking to us. The nurse was a little snarky, but maybe she was just having a bad day.

Dr. Krause in Richland

We LOVE Carrie at Dr Matta's office at pediatrics for you

Rachel C. replied:
I go to (now) Dr. Dizon in West pasco.. She is good and thorough with everything. My daughter for her first 2 years never got tested or xrayd for anything.. N the first day I went she took care of everything..:) Good luck to them!
Henry-Monique M. replied:

Joanne H. replied:
I switched over to Dr Tania Matta in West Richland. Sydney loves her and isn't happy when we have to go ; ) She's been patient and very through in each visit.
Down M. replied:
We go to Dr. Raekes - we love her!! I don't know if she is taking new patients though.
Pam S. replied:
I second the Dr. Tania Matta... Incredibly thorough and understanding!
I need to find a good pediatrician for my kids because the one we see now is bullshit! Anyone know of any good ones?
Tara M. replied:
Dr Benedict kinda does natural stuff. Tells me different natural things I can get at health food store and try. He doesn't just prescribe something unless its needed right away.
McKenzie H. replied:
Dr Glenn Ello is a great ped. My kids have been seeing him since my son was born 6 years ago. He is very knowledgable and takes the time to talk to the kids and knows my kids like they were his own.
Shamika R. replied:
Glenn Ello is good
Tara M. replied:
Dr Benedict in the 945 building. He's a pediatrician/family doc.
Robyn M. replied:

Ok Facebook peeps so I know it's late but Mark Litka and I are starting to look for a pediatrician for McKayla that accepts state insurance. Any recommendations?
Katelyn W. replied:
Dr. Richardson at Kadlec clinic was great! But not sure about the insurance.
Jessica H. replied:
Dr Aaron Richardson in Pasco at the ladles clinic!!! Brittany Litka
Katelyn W. replied:
My mom said Dr. Orro at Lordes in Richland excepts state but he is just a family practitioner but she loves him and has seen him for years!
Brea G. replied:
Dr Richardson does take state. Sarah goes to him and loves him!
I need suggestions for new pediatrician / dr for my boys ages 15 and 11. My dr retired! Please send info along. Battelle insurance plan
Heidi W. replied:
We love Dr Pattillo with three river family medicine. They have pac's and arnp's with later hours for urgent care. Dr Pattillo is just really nice, great sense of humor. He's very good. They're in the 945 goethals building. Mrs. Hanrahan also works there.
Alexia B. replied:
We love three rivers family. Dr. Benedict. He is awesome.
Dani L. replied:
My boys like Dr. Podhaisky in the Kadlec clinic across from Bob's in South Kennewick (ten-fifteen minutes from where you live). Never a wait either and he gets the boys in right away if they are sick. My boys had a female doc and we had to change once puberty hit-- it's just too awkward. We live next to the Ello's-- awesome family!
Debra B. replied:
Dr. Michael Benedict...
Debra B. replied:
Coming from a Docs wife with a teenage son, Dr. Benedict's approach is exactly what I looked for when our many pediatrician went on to greener pastures..
