Any moms here have a pediatrician they like in Scottsdale? I have a few offices I would like to look into- Scottsdale Pediatric Center, Scottsdale Children's Group, and...
Erin F. replied:
We go to Dr. Kaye at Scottsdale Pediatric Center. They are simply amazing. One of the docs even gave me her direct cell number one weekend when my daughter was so sick. Best care.
Rikki T. replied:
No. I have dr Kanagal taking it- they told me it was a 60 yrs old and older plan but it just started taking kids. I take all my kids in care automatically to Dr. Kanagal so didn't think much of it when she said she took it. I've needed so many authorizations from the ins co that take 2 weeks to be approved. Our needs have been a gastroenterologist, Option 1 formula services for allergies and Avella pharmacy. If you can change it at all I would! I have 2 other kids on united with no ins problems at all. DR Patel does take Healthnet access which is an AHCCSS plan.
Emilee J. replied:
Dr Sotelo at Papago Buttes Pediatrics is amazing!
Andrea P. replied:
I'll call tomorrow and see what plan I have and see if I can get one of those. Because I really wanted to go to Dr Gerlach, and if they don't take it... Then that sucks lol.
Denise W. replied:
Jay- I tried to make an appointment for myself with Dr. Patel last year and was told she wasn't taking new patients, has that changed?
Madiha S. replied:
Dr Barcelona@North Scottsdale pediatrics is very good.
Jay P. replied:
Denise Shenefelt Weinreich - yes we are accepting new patients.
Liz P. replied:
Love, love, love Scottsdale Children's group... When my son is sick they always have same day appointments available, they are always willing to call me back and answer all of my ridiculous first time mom questions... We see Dr. Kanagal! Her assistant is SO AWESOME as well!

Andrea B. replied:
We used to go to Dr Patel and loved it there.. But kiddos are on AHCCSS now and she doesn't take that insurance...
Andrea P. replied:
I'll have Health Net of AZ... So hopefully the one we want takes it lol
Rikki T. replied:
I don't want to sound rude Andrea.. But you need to run from HealthNet Access. Dr Kanagal does take it..but no one else in the valley! Not even Phoenix Children's Hospital. My kiddo is in foster care and his case mgr missed the cutoff date to change it by three days-we can't make any changes until Jan 2015. If you can get United or Mercy care-you'll have no problems with anyone taking them. Healthnet jut started taking kids so you won't find any pediactric providers. It's been a nightmare.. Id hate anyone else have to go through what we are.
Charlene B. replied:
Dr. Vivian Ziltzer was my son's pediatrician. She was awesome! My son is now 17 years old and didn't want to go to a pediatrician any longer! http://nspeds.com/Providers/Dr_Vivian_Ziltzer_MD.aspx

She's a mom also, so you know she has been through or can relate to you more than just her medical training. I don't know Dr. Whitehouse so can't help tip the scales more there

Agree with Jen. We also have Dr. Gerlach. Love love love her. My twins will be 5 in June and we have been seeing her since birth.
Gans H. replied:
Love NSPEDS. We see Dr. Barcellona. But with a sickly kiddo we have seen pretty much all of them between their 2 locations in Scottsdale. Great Providers.
Jay P. replied:
I am bias of course, but Dr Jyoti Patel is in town, she is expertly trained in both Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, as well as Medical Cosmetics. www.fountainhillsdoctors.com
Jennifer C. replied:
See Dr. J Patel. She is amazing.
Jennifer C. replied:
Sorry. Dr Patel is in FH.
Erin F. replied:
You have a Health Net hmo...not thru AHCCCS. I just had this for us and Dr. Kaye did take it. However, the coinsurance was huge, so I switched to a BCBS plan. Scottsdale Pediatric Center will take it though.
Jen H. replied:
We see Dr. Jennifer Gerlach at North Scottsdale Pediatrics. We love her and have been seeing her since our youngest was 2 days old (he's 4 now). All the doctors are great (the few times we had to rush in for sickness and she wasn't available), and the staff is always courteous and patient.

If he was my son I would take him to Arizona asthma and allergy for his asthma. They will be much more thorough and knowledgable and help you with an asthma action plan/his triggers etc, they are experts with medications when things aren't working etc. I liked pediatrician (I worked with him as a resident at maricopa years back he is also with Pediatrix off of happy valley (Norterra area) his name is Dr. Mitra.

Carrie D. replied:
Brittany Brunet See Dr. Boesel ( Kevin Boesel ) at Arizona Asthma and Allergy. He is extremely wonderful with Children, an active CCV member, patient and takes him time. They are excellent with Asthma. Not a pediatrician recommendation but maybe a good specialist for your son! You will NOT be dissappointed!
Brittany B. replied:
Thanks for all the suggestions. We ended up going back to Great Destination Pediatrics. We are actually with the same doctor Jacob had years ago. I've also got Jacob scheduled with the Asthma doctor. Sounds like we are moving in the right direction.

We see Dr. Shepherd at GDP (like Carrie) and we also see Dr. Prentice there. We see Dr. P most of the time and she is fantastic with my daughters asthma. We usually get in right away when it's important and with a few days to a week when it can wait. Dr. Shepherd is just as good:)
Lora W. replied:
Dr Vargas at Cactus Children's clinic is amazing!!!
Pediatrician recommendations... GO! (apparently it's I need recommendations day)
Deborah H. replied:
We also saw Dr. Caplan on Shea. She was critical in helping resolve the feeding issues we faced with Joey and did a frenectomy because he was born tongue-tied. She's also very engaged with each and every one of her patients, prompt with appointments, and doesn't rush Moms out of the room just because your time is up.

Love Dr. Kopas! He's at 1 st and River so about a 25 min drive from OV but soooo worth it to have a godly physician who looks at your child as a whole...physically, emotionally and spiritually. He gives biblical advice when you ask questions about parenting and behavior, prays over his patients at the end of appointments...totally love all the docs in that office too and get great care no matter who we see!

Dr. Sabrina Dhanjal at Protection Plus Dental on 75 th and Glendale is absolutely wonderful. I was in desperate need of a root canal and my dentist couldn't get me in for a week even though it was an emergency.

We have been going to Dr Padrez at Pediatric Associates (Northern & 16 th St). The group attends Banner Good Sam and almost all of the docs went to UA Med. Since my hubby went there we made some assumptions about their training, which made us comfortable.
