I need suggestions on a good pediatrician, family doctor, dentist, and optometrist. We live here in Rockport and we are all due for eye exams, dental cleanings, and...

I use Schultz for the kids dentist. My family doc Lee Sang in Portland has a waiting list but I believe his partner Soler is accepting new patients. I got tired of waiting 4+ hours to see the doc for the pedi so we go to goliad for that. Yes, 4+ hours WITH an appointment. Aynn Upton in corpus is the best optometrist I've ever been to. You get great service, reasonable prices and get it right at your appointment time. You didn't mention but ob/gyn, Noe Lira in corpus is excellent - he handles complex surgeries and high-risk as well as easy pregnancies and well-woman care.

Dr Almouie in Portland is a great pediatrician. I've herd mixed things of apostle and honestly my niece has been with him for 10 years and he's never helped other than push anti biotics. In my opinion she should of seen an ent a long time ago. Dr. Almouie has been my sons doc since birth and if he thinks something else is going on right away he sends him to a specialist . They make sure he's okay . I've even called at 2 am and they called me back right away ! When my son had a seizure they kept calling me to make sure he was okay and when we went back for a follow up all the nurses were so caring. To say they go above and beyond is an understatement. I agree with obgyn dr. Lira is really good! ...we use bishop in cc for vision. My son has bad vision and he's really good! Hope this helps you.

I know some swear by Apostole here in Rockport, I don't appreciate waiting forever to be seen - I can understand 10, maybe 20 minutes...anything more than that is irritating. I felt like it was a cattle herd care, I felt like I wasn't listened to and questions were unanswered so I deem that as substandard care. Lira (the gyn's brother) I've waited up to 4 hours, they take walk-ins but I firmly believe appointments should be seen first unless it's an absolute emergency. Sorry, a kid with the sniffles that's a walk-in shouldn't be seen before mine with an appointment. The urgent care in Portland is great if they take your insurance. To me paying out of pocket would have been preferable to going to the Driscoll urgent care in corpus. Waited 11 hours to get a prescription because Lira pedi office refused to see us because they were too busy, advised to go to the ER! My kid need a script for a minor cut (no stitches) on a Friday afternoon. Driscoll hospital is excellent but because so many people treat it like a regular pedi office expect to wait forever to be seen.

Love Dr Apostle. My experience for the past 4 years has been just the opposite!
Melvin M. replied:
Dr. Shultz for dental, Dr. Martini for eyes in Aransas Pass, Dr. Giovanni or Dr. Marr for family needs and Dr. Apostle for my little one.
Jennifer G. replied:
The Rockport Vision center in Wal-mart. Mitch is a great eye doc. Also depends on what insurance offices take. Ingleside dentistry with Doc Tim Hill is wonderful!
Hope S. replied:
Dr. Apostle does have a wait a times but I feel he takes the time to listen to ALL my concerns as a mother as well as my child's who is currently 17. I never feel rushed in his office but do not like the wait that does occur on occasion. As for dentist Dr. Mills is really good. I don't have any dr.s for myself due to no insurance so can't really help you there.
I need recommendations for a good pediatrician in CC or CC area.

Sara M. replied:
We've used ABC Pediatrics for 8 yrs and haven't been disappointed. Dr. Canales is their pediatrician and is wonderful (all the docs we've seen have been). Staff is friendly, very little wait time, and there is no middle man when you're calling with 'ki...See More

Dr Wiraszka at spohn south love him!
Erin C. replied:
Brock was in NICU for almost a month and the staff fully recommended Dr. Josefina Torres. She is amazing! She would sing to him and coo and put him at ease. She would personally call me back when I had questions. We always say she is the type of doctor who would probably do it for free anyway... Love her! Her office is next to Spohn South.
My baby will be born in November at bay area hospital in corpus but i live in rockport and would like to find a pediatrician here. Anyone recommend one?
Keith H. replied:
We use Dr Apostol.
Donna G. replied:
My step daughter had problems with her bowels and Dr. Apostol was the one that figured it out and got everything going right when the other doctors wanted to do surgery. And now my niece also goes to him. He is a very good doctor.
Donna G. replied:
Brittany Sims Jasso is right it all depends on how you feel about the doctor. So go with who you believe will be best. Everyone has there own opinion.
