Hi K.,

Where abouts are you in Chandler? I am in Chandler as well, but I take my little girl, 13 months old to Gilbert Pediatrics. They are fantastic! They are a group of doctors and all of they are very caring and very thorough. My two sisters take there boys and feel the same way I do. They have two offices, one off of greenfield and baseline and the other is power and pecos. I hope it all works out for you. I am a native here so it you need any other sugestions I would be happy to help. Have a great day!

I am a Pediatric nurse. I strongly recommend Desert Shores Pediatrics. They have several providers in the practice and I take all 3 of my kids there. They are very flexible w/ scheduling and I've always received great care there. They have one office in Gilbert near Seville and are opening (or may have opened) an office in Chandler. Good luck!

K.,
We moved from Michigan a year and a half ago. We LOVED our peds in Michigan. But I have found the Drs and the staff to be exceptional at Palo Verde Pediatrics in Gilbert. Since going there, I have found out that many of our frinds have taken their kids there for years and like any of the drs. there. We use Dr. Mike Perlstein. Same day sick visits, return calls, have a separate area for sick and for well visits. Staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Hope it works for you!

Hi K.! Welcome to Chandler. We take our 15 month old son to Pueblo Pediatrics. They have 2 offices, one in Mesa and one across form the Gilbert Mercy Hospital on Val Vista and the 202. Our son primarily sees Dr. Ciminello and we love him. He is so wonderful with our son. The office staff and nurses are also very friendly. I would HIGHLY recommend him. You can check out their website at www.pueblopeds.com Good luck. I know this is an extremely difficult decision.

It's a drive, but I love Camelback Pediatrics. Corner of Camelback and 44th. We live in Ahwatukee, and one of my biggest concerns, after we were hooked on the Dr. from DS' first checkup at the hospital, was having a sick kid in the back during the drive. Hasn't happened. They have same day sick visits, return all calls in the same day for the most part (and def. when it's urgent) and even had Saturday sick appts. Can't say enough good about them. They also separate sick and well children in the lobby. Dr. Singer is our doctor, but when he's not in, or too booked, we easily see the other doctors and love them all. The nurses are sweet, and if they do get a complaint on one, it's taken care of immediately...that person disappears, if it's more of an attitude or competency issue.

Dr. Mark Gentile on Val Vista, just south of Chandler (Williams Field). He is awesome, we are considering moving soon and one of the huge drawbacks is leaving him. ###-###-####

We had both TLC Pediatrics and Step by Step recommended to us by several people. Both are in west Chandler, southwest of I-10 and Chandler. We like them both but chose Dr. Matsumoto at TLC because we liked her and the practice was just a little bigger, so we felt like there would be better overflow coverage. Great office, great nurses, and we really like the doctor.

We've used TLC pediatrics since our girls were born. They are FANTASTIC. We use Noelle Miller but all the doctors in that office are great. They're on 40th Street and Pecos.

Hi K.,

Welcome to Chandler. I hope you're liking it here.
I highly recommend our pediatrician, Dr. Sudha. My daughter is 16 months old and we have been going to her since she was born. She is very attentive to your concerns and needs for your child and is also available to answer questions via email during off-business hours. She is absolutely wonderful!!
Here's the website to her practice.

We love Dr Susan Chung at Mesa Pediatrics. The Chandler office is at Kyrene and Chandler Blvd. My son is 21 months and he likes her a lot. She is great with him and she takes the time to talk with me and answer all my "first time mom" questions. We are always seen within a few minutes and they always get me in right away when he's sick. There are several offices around the east valley and they offer Saturday hours, too.

Good luck!
