They also sponsor Richmond Mom! Heard lots of wonderful things about Pediatric Associates on Ridgefield Pkwy.
Kimberly W. replied:
I absolutely love pedicatrician Dr. Amelia Colley with West End Pediatrics. She has the best bed side manner, spends more than adequate time with us when there and always returns calls promptly. My OB Gyn is on the southside but he is great and worth the trip.
Emily H. replied:
Pediatric Center (there are 3 locations) Dr Tull is AMAZING and has been a wonderful resource and doctor for our preemie. Shes been GREAT and we love her!
Katie M. replied:
OB: Dr. Knapp is the best - knowledgable AND personable

(oops) Pediatrician: Dr. Charles Terry; preschools - we've been to many in GA, and Christ Church on Pouncey Tract is our absolute favorite! Activities: Twin Hickory Library has a great story time, and Short Pump Children's Museum annex is great for the preschool set.

Julie A. replied:
Pediatric Associates on Ridgefield Pkwy, Dr. Christian, Dr. Rowe, Dr. Terry,...all great...there are a number of moms groups on the Meetup web-site for different areas of town. Never been to one, but they look fun.
