Deborah B. replied:
Dr Rodney Young is great . He is at Texas Tech Physicians.
Mateson G. replied:
Not Dr Hovings office. She's nice but u AlWAYS wait forever and have pissed off babies (and daddy) by the time you leave. They over book and have you get there too soon to wait an hour for a 10 minute checkup.
Sarah C. replied:
We use and Love Dr. Walsh.
Suzanne B. replied:
Dr Winston is a great family doc

Dr. Kenneth Sultiemeier is the best!! Clinics of North Texas http://clinicsofnorthtexas.com/.../kenneth-l-sultemeier-md/
Jeff K. replied:
Dr Yap!!! Amazing!!
Cara B. replied:
Dr. Johnson is at Pediatric Associates i think...i dont really remember cause i moved for college. either way Johnson was my pediatrician for a very long time and I loved him!! Sultemeier is great also. his nurse is one of my moms best friends. Dr. Peters is great as well (she still sees me at 19:)).
Connie S. replied:
We use Dr. Sultiemeier too and hes the best. He's so awesome with kids.
Pediatrics Associates does and they have a lot of different pediatricians
Alyssa R. replied:
Use Dr. Rao. He was my pediatrician & now he's Taylor's. He takes Medicaid too. He's wonderful with kids. Very nice, funny, helpful & thorough. Lol. A little hard to understand sometimes because he has somewhat of a heavy Indian accent, but if you ask his nurses what he said they'll tell you. They're nice too.
Alyssa R. replied:
Yeah, they are. They were like that even when my mom was a nurse for Dr. Rao. But, there is one nice one that works there now. She's always there when I take Taylor in.
I'm looking to switch my 4 year old son's pediatrician. Any recommendations or people to avoid?
Misty G. replied:
I love Dr. Kaiser with my boys! He is at Pediatric Associates.
Jessica R. replied:
We use Lisa Sheriff or Dr Johnson at pediatric associates. We are very satisfied with how they are with our kids.
Nichelle W. replied:
Dr Humphrey was mine & she's my daughters now she's very good she takes the time to listen and will answer every question with no rush
Karissa W. replied:
Love Dr.Kaiser though!
Hannah S. replied:
Karissa what happened with Dr. Johnson?
Amanda D. replied:
If you're willing to move from a pedi to a family doctor, Dr. Lori Hanes at family practice associates is wonderful, as is her nurse, Tina. They have tons of experience in pediatrics and will always consult a pedi for anything they can't handle. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Jodie H. replied:
Dr Rao hands down!
Sharla M. replied:
LOVE Dr. Kaiser! He's my for year olds and will be my next ones Dr also.

Jodi Y. replied:
In my opinion, I would avoid Dr Ucol....we love Dr. Kaiser
Mettie R. replied:
Dr. Peters is awesome! I like all the staff that works in pediatrics at Clinics of North Texas.
Hannah S. replied:
I love pediatric Associates! Dr. Terry Johnson is my kids main doctor but, when he is booked up Dr. Kaiser, and the other staff has seen them. I love them all!
Amanda W. replied:
Dr Johnson is my daughter's pediatrician but he stays really booked most of the time so I also use Dr Kaiser. Love them both
Crystal L. replied:
I really appreciate all the comments. I'm going to call tomorrow to get in with Pediatrics Associates.
Stacie S. replied:
We see Dr. Kaiser at Pediatric Associates. We really like him!!
Tiffanee T. replied:
Dr Yap is amazing!
Stacie S. replied:
Agreed! Dr Kaiser doesn't act annoyed or like you're asking stupid questions like other docs have made me feel. He's great!:)
Alycia F. replied:
I have Dr Humphrey at community health care. She is wonderful been seeing both my kids since birth no complaints I even traveled from north Dakota so my son could go to his drs appointments
Heather S. replied:
Pediatric associates is amazing! Technically my kids have Dr Johnson as a pediatrician but I think we have seen just about everyone there and love them. I had Dr Johnson when I was a kid and I really liked him. He was the first person to tell me I had asthma. No one else did.
Can anyone one give me recommendations on pediatricians ?
Jennifer M. replied:
Pediatric Associates! All of the Drs are great, we use Dr Kaiser
Nikki D. replied:
Pediatric Associates all are great!!!!!!
Mettie R. replied:
my kids go to Dr. Peters at Clinic of North Texas. She's awesome! I even like all the nurse practitioners that they've been to up there.
Larissa B. replied:
Dr.Ucol or Dr. Rao
Ashley M. replied:
Dr Peters!!!!
Danielle G. replied:
There's another thread in this group about the same thing. U may have to look a lil bit but there's more opinions & recom there too.... I use Dr Johnson for my son. Love him & the other drs, as well as NP Sheriff. Dr Johnson is upfront, patient, explains everything, he prefers natural remedies over medications. The waiting room isn't stressful either. They have a short wait time, even for walkins. I had 2 foster kids for awhile, 1 used Ucol the other used Rao. I have to say first & foremost, the waiting room experience was horrible!! Its always packed, you wait forever, it was loud, & because of all that it made for a very anxious kid. I worried tge whole time bout some running around kid falling on or tripping on rhe infants, esp the ones in their carseats on the floor. They're good drs buuuut both drs always seemed rushed(I'm sure because they have a way too heavy patient load) & like they don't wana take the time to explain what u don't understand. Also, the admin ppl make u feel like ur a hassle & all ur trying to do is checkin.
Ricky F. replied:
We LOVE Dr. Peters
Svaya M. replied:
We love Dr. Peters too.
Christina C. replied:
Kaiser or Johnson. Been with Pediatrics associates since my daughter was born 6 years ago. Both my children have johnson but we see kaiser alot too. Very friendly, easy to talk to and caring!

Dr. Agyepong
Analilia A. replied:
Dr. Rao ..
Chastity R. replied:
Dr Johnson and his doctors at pediatric associates off kemp. I've had a child with him for over 20 yrs. I agree with above comment. He is no bs and won't medicate your kids. He also doesnt mess around if your kid needs hospital treatment he's right on it and the whole staff will refer to specialist if needed. Best care ever and now I'll be sending my grandbaby to him. That's how much faith I have in him and staff . They are great and available after hours and if you happen to have to go to er all they have to do is call and get instructions from him.
Looks like we will be finding a new pediatrician for our kiddos... Suggestions????
Jennifer S. replied:
I know that this extra cost is frustrating, but I think this is a problem anywhere. And $50 for sick time is a lot less than what some people pay other places. And they have insurance. I would just look closely wherever you are going. Plus Pediatric Associates has always been more than fair to me when it comes to paying. The New healthcare law has tied a lot of hands. I hope you find what you are looking for!
Haley R. replied:
I just don't think I should have to pay full price when my insurance says I should only pay $15... Im gonna call and talk to Karen.. I REALLY don't want to find a new dr. I absolutely love Dr. Kaiser and Dr. Johnson but I'm not gonna be paying other peoples bills (which is what it basically boils down to)
Tracy F. replied:
Dr. Yap Clinics
Lindsey M. replied:
We use Dr Yap & love him!!!
Haley R. replied:
Well I just talked to Dr. Kaiser and he said that it is full price for all visits until you meet your deductible but he said he is in network with BCBS and so is Dr. Johnson.. He's going to look into it because that's news to him if they aren't in network anymore.
Carrie S. replied:
We is the Johnson group at Pediatric Associates!
Crystal B. replied:
We use Dr Peters at the clinic, she has been amazing with Cason
Ruth B. replied:
They changed the payments at Pediatric Associates?
Haley R. replied:
I'm suppose to pay a $15 copay for office visits. Dr Johnson's office self pay is 50.00 for sick visit, 75.00 for well visit and 85.00 for well visit with shots. Now the ones that do have insurance are having to pay the same amount as those without insurance. And they told me personally that it's because people aren't paying their bills. I never have bills because my insurance pays 100% after my copay but I'm still having to pay extra to make up for what the other people aren't paying. This has nothing to do with my insurance this has to do with the drs office.
I need recommendations/ opinions of pediatricians at clinics of north Texas and other peds in Wichita Falls. Unfortunately pediatric associates do not accept my...
Haylie G. replied:
Dr. Peters. She was mine and still is my brothers and my daughters. Love her!
Sheila H. replied:
Dr Sultemeier is the absolute best! I keep my kids on tricare standard and pay deductibles just to keep that doc...go to him!
Misty W. replied:
Dr Cabler! My daughter loves her she is amazing!
Jessica B. replied:
Dr Cabler I've heard she young but awesome
Kaitlin C. replied:
Sultemeir!! He was my pediatrician and now my girls! We looove him!! But I've heard Dr. Yap & peters are really good!
My kids go to Dr Rao, he's good especially when you have a sick one all the time
Cortni Z. replied:
Brittany Rudy Regino he is nice but the people that work for him are rude and unprofessional
Stella G. replied:
I love Dr.Rao!!Girl I can't stand Ucol,I had him when Adrian was 1 st born but he was worried more about me n Alex then he was my baby....but I heard Johnson is real good too!!
Kenji J. replied:
Dr Johnson

Benton & Bryant people....I'm looking for good suggestions for a good pediatrician in the Benton/Bryant area. Thanks!
Rosemary W. replied:
CAPC in Bryant ... Dr Weed esp but they are all really nice ... I work at Kids Care now and we take their after hrs call and they are always SO nice if we have to call them
Wendy B. replied:
Clay Brashears is fabulous! I take my kids to him and I work with all the Peds in the area at Saline. CAPC is great, but I prefer going to Brashears because my kids always see the same doctor for sick or well visits. At CAPC you may get a different one each time. Just my preference but both clinics have great doctors. Consistent care was just important to me.

We do Central Ark Pediatrics Clinic too. Only see a different doc for sick visits. Which is fine with us since they do Sat sick visits as well.

Alicia S. replied:
Dr. Johnson. I especially like him because if you can't see him for some odd reason he has a lot of other amazing doctors and NPs there to back him up. He has been our Pedi since I switched from Rao when my daughter got really sick.
Ruby M. replied:
Kaiser at Pediatric Associates.... He shows concern and actually listens to you and explains things to you. Very patient and never in a rush. Use him for all 5 of my kids and haven't had any problems. Lisa and Nicole the NP there are also awesome. When my baby was hospitalized last year they said Johnson or whatever doctor was on call would probably be the one seeing her bc Kaiser is super busy but Kaiser himself went everyday to check my baby girl while she was hospitalize
Sara Y. replied:
Dr. Cabler she is amazing my daughter was born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and she always shows concern when I call and have question and she is very good at what she does. She is at the clinics of north Texas
Catherine M. replied:
Dr. Peters at CNT.
Stephanie W. replied:

Amanda B. replied:
Karen Reed. Very thorough and good with kids. Shes at clinics of north texas
Any suggestions on a pediatrician or family doctor?.....I need somewhere that won't take 3 months or more to get one of my kiddos in to see a doctor!
Selese R. replied:
Pediatric Associates, Dr Kaiser! He is awesome!! The older kiddos see Dr Ayer at the same place.
Gina A. replied:
I've had Dr. Ucol for 16 years and I can call and get them in the same day always .me and the kids love him . He loves the kids dearly:-) good luck on your search girl:-)
Michelle T. replied:
Clinics of North Texas... Dr. Reed
Katia M. replied:
When I was down there we had Dr. Sultemeir with Clinics of North Texas....he was actually the one who diagnosed Blake's fractured tibia when none of the other doctors did and said that he must have just twisted something (at the time Dr. Sultemeir was out of town and we had to see someone else).....I loved having him as a pediatrician and have hated that I haven't been able to find anyone else like him around here.
