Looking for a New Pediatrician That Is Close to Home

I take my 4 kids to Mesa Pediatrics (of of Greenfield and Guadalupe) and they absolutely love going there! We see Bill Gause and he is fabulous, although all the Dr's there are great. My kids actually get excited to go see him and can't wait to tell him all about what is going on in their lives (my kids ages are 6, 4, 2, 3 months). I feel very lucky that my kids love their Dr. so much and that he cares about them as a person.

I have a ped that is wonderful. She used to be in Gilbert however she moved to Power Road and Germann(I think). Her name is Dr. Kendra Hall and her phone number is ###-###-####.I live at Gilbert and Warner and the drive isn't the greatest but when she moved I liked her so much we followed. Hope this is helpful to you.

Hello there~
On Greenfield/Guadalupe is Mesa Peds. I love Dr. Zancich or Dr. Z as she is called. I have 2 11yo boys and they think she is great. She is absolutely Fabulous, she takes time with you. If she is running late, this is one I dont mind waiting for just because I know she will take the same time with me that I need!!
Good luck!

Dr Mike @ Palo Verde Pediatrics....My kids love him. And he is really close to your location.

Sierra Pediatrics. Dr. Cabey. She is awesome. She has treated all my kids ages 14 to 1 1/2 and they all love her. Her staff is also amazing. She is at baseline/val vista.

Hi B.,
I'm going to add my name to the Dr. Chang list. My oldest is 13, and we started going to Dr. Chang when he was 1. (bad prior experience) My children love him. He's great with the kids as well as parents. I'm not sure if he's accepting new patients at the moment, but it's worth a call. Palo Verde Pediatrics at Val Vista/ Elliott

I Love Dr. Cabey at Sierra Pediatrics. She tells you like it is but she loves kids. There is a day care center that she started attached to the practice, she really cares about kids and their development. The Nurses in the office are also awsome, you can always call with questions. The other thing that is great since I am a working mom is that they are open late a couple days a week and also on Sat mornings. On Sat mornings they even accept walk in's. I highly suggest Sierra Pediatrics and Dr. Cabey.

I know it's not exactly close, but I absolutely ADORE my daughters pediatricians!! It's Step By Step Pediatrics in Ahwatukee. Just off the I10 at Chandler and 48th street. I'm at McQueen and Ray and don't mind making the drive for the wonderful care they give my daughter. They are also wonderful at taking care of the parents as well. We've had a few scares with my daughter, and they actually called the following morning just to check on me!!! They are amazing! Hope this helps!

I love Gilbert Pediatrics on Baseline and Greenfield. I have seen several different doctors there and have had good experiences with each one. I really appreciate the way they took time to explain things to me and answer any questions I had and how they really interacted with my children and spent time making them feel comfortable and important. An added bonus is that they offer an after-hours service, Twilight Pediatrics, which is a lifesaver when your kids get sick during non-office hour times (which seems to be the case so often with young children). Good luck!

Hi B.. I LOVE Pueblo Pediatrics. We take our son there and he primarily sees Dr. Ciminello. He is so great with my son. Every time we take him there, I feel like my son is the only kid in the place. The front office staff is friendly, the nurses have always been great and I just love Dr. Ciminello. He plays with our son, makes goofy noises, and always has a smile on his face. We have also taken our son to see Dr. Chiles, he started the group, and I can't say enough good things about him either. They have an office across from Gilbert Mercy Hospital and one on Baseline/Arizona, so either office shouldn't be too far for you. I would HIGHLY recommend them. Check out their website at www.pueblopeds.com

Good Luck!!

Dr Norman Saba is my childs ped and I love his bedside manner! My sister also uses him for her 2 children. So far have had no problems. he seems to really enjoy the interaction with the children and has always been great! He is located at guadalupe and greenfield/ higley area. Good luck to you in your search. -S

We also go to Mesa Peds. All of the doctors we have seen have been excellent. They took as much time as you need and are very gentle and caring. They have also made follow up calls to check and see how we were doing. I have beento several of the locations and have not had a negative experience at any of them. Hope this helps,

It all depends on what insurance you have on were you can go. But if you have Cigna Dr. David Kipp is awesome I've had him sense my oldest was an infant & she just turned 14 so my youngest still goes to him but oldest has now optted to go to my girl DR. if you know what I mean.. But he is great..

Lafe Carroll, DO
Gilbert Pediatrics
4540 E. Baseline, Ste. 108
Mesa AZ 85206
Phone: ###-###-####

Dr. Carroll is so kind and gentle. He would be my 12YO daughter's pediatrician except his daughter is one of her best friends and she is too embarrassed to go to him, especially now that she's maturing. I think he's terrific.

I LOVE Kelly Garland at East Valley Pediatrics. She fits your description. She remembers my kids and hugs them and treats them like they are the patient and a person. I will never go anywhere else.
She is a nurse practitioner in the office but I have been with her for 8 years and fully trust her. She is also a mom to three shchool age kids and understands what we go through as moms :)
###-###-#### Baseline / Val Vista

We take our son to Mesa Pediatrics/Dr Wallace she is great! Their cross streets are Guadalupe & greenfield. ###-###-#### the other drs we have seen there are good too.

My kids and I love our pediatrcian. She treat the kids wonderful and talks to them like their important. She always asks them what is going on. Her name is Judith Pendleton in Chandler. Her number is ###-###-####. I love it when I call in the morning and can get the kids seen that day. My old Ped's office was so busy that they couldn't see us the same day. Hope you get to love her as we do!

Mesa Pediatrics - Bill Gause - my son was born 4 years ago - 10 weeks early... we have had Dr. Gause ever since and he is amazing !!! We obviously we are the dr. often when he was younger and we drive extra further to see him. They have an office closer to our house, but we don't want to change Dr.s.... best thing is they are located on Guadalupe & Greenfield ###-###-####

Good Luck!!

Be very aware of palo verde pediatrics - they lean more on conservative medicine ! We have had problems and they missed a major problem with one of our kids - if you have a rare disease i would look for a doctor who sees this ! They also do not see kids in the hospital even if its one of your kids - they let you see a specialist called hospitalist which is somehat concerning to a parent with a sick kid ! The front staff sometimes very short with people !

We have been going to Mesa Peds for 5 years and seen all the doctors there. We love all of them! They are on Greenfield and Guadalupe. We go to the new location (San Tan office) on Higley and Pecos. Dr DaSilva is wonderful. They call the next day to check on your child. I wouldnt go anywhere else!

We also go to Palo Verde Pediatrics and see Dr Chang! We love him, the kids love him and for the most part the staff is friendly. The staff is also consistent which I love because the children call all of the nurses by name. We have been going here for four years:) Most of our friends and family go to this office as well. We don't all see the same doctors but we all feel the same about the office!

Their number is: ###-###-####

My children see Dr. Dale Guthrie at Gilbert Pediatrics. They are located at Baseline & Greenfield, so not too far from you. We have also seen Dr. Auxier there, and liked him equally well. The doctors really take the time to do things thoroughly and to answer all of your questions. Consequently, their office seems often to be running behind schedule, but I've always found any wait worthwhile.
Good luck!

Palo Verde Pediatrics on Guadalupe/Val Vista is awesome! We see Dr. Chang and he is a great doc all around. His staff is very helpful too. Give them a try!

We LOVE Polo Verde Peds. "Dr. Mike" is sooooo great!!! The office staff is wonderful. We have used Dr. Chang as well and love him too. "Dr. Mike" is also known as Dr. Perlstein. WE LOVE THIS OFFICE!!!!!

Try Dr. Davis at Western Family Medicine. They're located in the Spectrum Falls center, Val Vista just south of Williams Field.

He is actually a family practice doctor, but I've been taking my 13 month old there since he was born (my husband and I also go to him). He is very, very nice, awesome with my son, and has a wonderful office staff. He has small children so he can relate to all sorts of concerns. He never makes you feel stupid when you have questions, and is always very responsive when you call his office with concerns, etc. I love that when I'm not sure what to do about something I can ask him what he does with his boys. Even though he's not a pediatrician specifically, you could not pay me to take my son elsewhere.

Good luck!

I really like my pediatrician - he is Dr. Michael Lucherini ###-###-####. His office is located at Power/Brown Rd in Mesa. (They just moved from Southern/Val Vista! boo hoo). My just-turned-4 year old told me yesterday "I love my doctor", so that is quite a testament! Good luck!!
