Me and my family just moved to Alpharetta and I am looking for a good pediatrician in the area. I work at Northside Hospital and have their insurance. I know there is a Northside pediatric office right by our apt on Old Milton (exit 10 off of 400) If anyone has a recommendation I would appreciate it. Me and my husband also need a dentist in the area if you know a good one.

What can I do next?

I have taken my almost 13 mo. daughter to Dr. Greg Cabrera at that Northpoint Pediatrics office off of Old Milton since she was born. He is great and I also like his female associates Dr. Mueller (sp?) and Dr. Fedack. The office number is: ###-###-####

We used to use the doctors at Preston Ridge Pediatrics, in the medical buildings right by 400/Old Milton. Their address is 3400A Old Milton Pkwy, Suite 330, ###-###-####. Dr. Papciak only sees infants, but the other doctors there are good. I now use Johns Creek Pediatrics off of McGinnis Ferry, which is closer to my house, but we really liked Preston Ridge.

Hi L., I'm, not positive, but I think Old Milton is near the Johns Creek Area. If so, we use Pediactric Associates of Johns Creek. We have seen them all - except the newest male dr. but out favorite is Penny Forman. I've been using them since my 2nd child was about 2 months old ( over 6 years). Good luck!

Vaishali Kute ###-###-#### is off 400 near the old milton north point parkway intersection. she is also a lactation consultant if you are nursing. she is great at working with an alternate vaccine schedule if you would like and the other great thing about her is that she asks you to hold your child in your lap while getting poked and if you need her after hours you will have her cell phone and she will call you back.

I take both my kids to Roswell Pediatrics in that Buidling on Old Milton, part of Northside buildings. Our Dr is Dr Catherine Bowman. I love most of the doctors there. I do make many of my apts with the nurse practitioner, Nurse Tara. I love her and feel like she really gives me the time and I don't feel rushed. There are lots of doctors in that practice and I am sure there will be more than a few you will be comfortable with. The offer sick and well entrances (a big plus) and they offer Saturday hours til noon for sick visits, another great plus. Their # is ###-###-####. Best of luck.

I LOVE Sandy Springs Pediatrics which is right across from Children's @ Northside in the buildings beside the Suntrust. I know it is not Alpharetta but I drive from Lilburn. The office is 30 min away for me and I wouldn't trade this group of doctors for anything!

Hi! We love Roswell Pediatrics. They have an office right off Old Milton and we drive from Marietta to see the docs there. I have been happy with all the doctor's I've seen. And they have sick hours on Saturdays which is great! If you google them their website and info will come up. Good luck!

Welcome to Georgia! We have a fantastic pediatrician, Dr. Ellerine with Peachtree Park Pediatrics. You don't wait in the waiting room, so you don't have to worry about getting sick during well-baby appontments. They give the kids shots in the lab, so they won't associate the normal visiting rooms with shots. The nurses are fantastic! The doctor is much more helpful with information on transitions, like feeding and other things, than my friends pediatricians. It might be a bit of a drive from Alpharetta, but that is the only possible drawback I can think of. I have a great dentist, Dr. Karl Burgess, but he is pretty far from you. (I live in Smyrna, and I make the drive to him in Stone Mountain, but you may not want to.) Anyway, I hope you find wonderful people to care for your family. Good luck!

Roswell Pediatrics is excellent. They have 3 offices and one is near the Northside offices in Alpharetta. Their website is www.roswellpediatrics.com. We see Dr. Silverman in the Cumming office, but all of the doctors in this practice are excellent. As for a dentist, my whole family sees Dr. Prattas who is also located in Alpharetta. He and his wife own the practice and are the 2 dentists. They see children as well. His info is Dr. George Prattas, 1060 Cambridge Square, Alpharetta, GA 30004, ###-###-####.

Hi L.,

I have been taking my son to Pediatric Physicians ###-###-####) since he was born (almost 3). They are wonderful. They have two offices, one in Roswell and one in Alpharetta on Windward Parkway. Great hours, open on Saturday, and have not had a problem with getting in due to last minute illness. We see Dr. Michelle (Kelly) in general, but she is on maternity leave and frankly sometimes you just can't be picky when there's a fever involved, but I haven't seen anyone that I thought was anything less than great! Good luck!

Welcome! We just had to search all this out a couple of years ago when we too moved here. We LOVE Dr. Bleakrode and her staff at Alpharetta Pediatrics. She has always been very good with the kids and looking into any concerns you might have. She is also very obervant of things that might be of future concern. She is at two offices, but one located in Alpharetta. We were recommended to her by many people and now we see why!
