Looking for a Wonderful Pediatrician in the East Valley

Hi S.,
I live in Queen Creek also, and take my daughter to Desert Shores Pediatrics as well. I really like Dr. Allred and Mohler. They are on Higley and Chandler Heights.
Good luck!

The pediatrician I take my 5 year old and 6 month old to is Dr. Mark Gentile; his office is on Val Vista and Williams Field. We have been going to him since my oldest was born and love him and his staff.

We had to find a new pediatrician recently as well... We had such a bad experience with our former pediatrician that we just stopped taking our kids in aat all unless they were truly in need of medical care. (meaning we skipped out on "well-check" appointments as they are in general good health and not babies anymore) However, I delivered our fourth(yes, fourth) child in August and needed to find a new ped! We settled on Dr. Angela Zankich with Mesa Pediatrics and we all totally LOVE her. Her office is on Greenfield and Guadalupe. She is never rushed, she is very sweet as are the rest of the nurses and staff there, and her office always runs right on time! I noticed specifically that you are looking for a doctor who builds relationships with the child and parents. She really does this. She takes the time to talk to everyone, jokes and talks with all the kids at their siblings appointments, and even educates the older ones during the baby's visits, it makes them feel important and responsible! Sorry to ramble on, good luck!

I can tell you there is not a day that goes by that I am so thankful to have the pediatrics office we have. WE love our pediatrics office, Mesa Pediatrics. They have 4 offices and one is in Ahwatukee, one in Tempe, two in Gilbert one on Greenfield & Guadalupe and one on Higley between Pecos & Germann. I have been to every office and have been totally happy with the care every doctor, nurse practioner, physicians assistant, medical assistant and front office staff their offices have provided us with. Every person there makes you feel very welcomed, very comfortable and NEVER rushed! You can visit their website at www.mesapeds.com to learn more about their offices and doctors.

I hope this helps!

I am another HUGE fan of Mesa Pediatrics. I have been through to other pediatricians that we did NOT like! (see reviews for East Mesa Pediatrics and Happy Kids Pediatrics, both in Mesa). We see Dr. DeMets at Mesa Pediatrics at Higley and Pecos. We love it there. The nurses are great, and so is our doctor! She remembers the girls well each time we go, and they are never busy. he waiting room is almost always empty....we'll see how long that lasts as this is relatively new office. The other thing, the Tempe office has extended hours and Saturday morning sick appointments and you can use any office that has availablity for sick appointments

Hi S.!! I also live in Queen Creek, however I drive to Gilbert for my son's pediatrician. I take him to Gilbert Pediatrics on Greenfield and Baseline, although they do have another office (not sure where). There are 5 doctors at this location. I prefer him to see Dr. Auxier, although all of them are wonderful.

I would love to hear more about your preschool!! I have a 20 month old son!! Thanks!!

Best of luck!!

S.,
I also take my sons to Desert Shores Pediatrics. Dr. Allred is wonderful. She never rushes you. My older son likes her a lot (the baby has no opnion :))And they have sick and well sides seperated.

When we first moved here about 4 years ago, there were two places that everyone referred me to one is Palo Verde Pediatrics on Val Vista and elliot. I prefer James, Deardorff and Chang. The others I just don't know. The other spot was in the plaza on guadalupe and greenfield, Dr. Lanks? it is a lady and all i have heard are wonderful things. Even our speciality docs refer their patients to one of these practices. We live in Q. Creek and it is about a 20 min drive from the east side.
Hope this helps.

Hi there S.! I would like to recommend my pediatrician to you. His name is Dr. Norman Saba with Pediatric Medical Associates. They are out of Banner Desert Hospital. We had some issues with our newborn not gaining weight, first time parent jitters and all...he was very compassionate and took lots of time to answer our questions. The only bad thing is that there is no well baby/sick baby partition in the waiting room. Other than that we really like him and feel very comfortable. Good luck!

Hi S.,
I take my kids to Desert Shores Pediatrics in Gilbert at Higley & Chandler Heights. A few of the moms in my neighborhood also go there. We all have nothing but good to say about them. They follow through with all referrals. One of the moms is holding off on immunizing her baby (a premie) and they didn't give her a hard time about it. They've got same-day appointments and have always called back within a short time when I've called with questions. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am a mother of 2 1/2 year old twins and I go to Oasis Pediatrics on Elliot and McQueen in Gilber. The doctors are fairly good, but the two nurse practitioners they have are amazing. It is a pretty busy practice so you can't always get in to see the drs. I have, however, built a raport with a least one of the dr. and the to NP. Just my two cents.

I have a really great pediatrician and her name is Judith Pendleton in Chandler.

I LOVE my pediatrician! Her name is Dr. Kendra Hall, and she works for East Valley Pediatrics, in their Gilbert office. My kids have gone to her for years, and each one of them loves her! I have 11 yr old a 7 yr old and a 3 yr old, and my 3 yr old never cries anymore when we have to see her! She is kind, but very straight forward so keep that in mind if you decide to see her. There are several other doctors in the office to, but she is by far my favorite. I love the PA there too! I am not a big fan of Physician Assistants, but the one there is fabulous!

Good luck! Finding a pediatrican is hard! But good luck to you!

Hi S.. I take my son to Pueblo Pediatrics. They have a new office right across from the Gilbert Mercy Hospital. They have 3 pediatricians and an np on staff. You can check them out at www.pueblopeds.com. Good luck with your search!

I love my doctor. Although if you're in QC I don't know how far a drive it will be for you. Matilda Garcia ###-###-#### she's on Baseline & Val Vista in Gilbert. It's kinda out of my way too, but I'm always willing to drive if I find a good doctor. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions about her. Congrats on the new baby.

Hi, I am a SAHM of 2 kids. My girl is almost 5 and my little boy is 2. I have found the best pediatrician. He has taken care of both of my children since they were born. I live in Queen Creek also and I know it is quite a drive but this doctor is totally worth the drive. His name is Dr. Scott Cannon of Papago Buttes in Scottsdale. I understand how hard it is to find a good doctor who will take the time to listen and answer your questions. Believe me Dr. Cannon IS that kind of Doctor. His phone number is ###-###-####. You can even go in to interview him if you like. Hope this helps. C.

I have a 5 yr old and we go to Desert Shores Pediatrics at the corner of Higley and Chandler Heights. I've seen 3 or more of the practitioners there and have nothing bad to say. The phone # is ###-###-#### and the website is www.desertshorespediatrics.com. Good luck! :)

I take my kids to Dr. Ronald Jones. His office is near Alma School and Warner. He is really freindly and my three boys love him. I have recomended him to other parents and they have all been pleased.

I have been very happy with Mesa Pediatrics. They are relocating an office from Ahwatukee to Chandler and there is also an office in my subdivision in Gilbert. ###-###-#### is the office number for Gilbert.

The pediatrician I take my son to is wonderful. Her name is Dr. Sudha Chandrasekhar and she's with Gateway Pediatrics. There have been several times when my son has been sick and I have called her and she gets back to me right away. One time we called her office at 11:30pm. The answering service patched us through to her at her house and she told me what to do to take care of my son. She also personally called the following day to make sure he was doing better. Her office is located on the north/east corner of Dobson Rd. and Frye Rd. Good luck.

Look into Gilbert Pediatrics. We really like them and they have been very good about a lot of different issues with both of my boys.

We love Dr. Gentile ###-###-####) in Gilbert he is on Val Vista & Williams Field. He has a NP and 2 PA in his office that we see as well.
