I am pregnant w/ twin boys & looking for a great pediatrician. I would prefer that they be associated w/ the Cook's network. There is a Cook's satelite office on Southlake Blvd, but I haven't heard great thing about the docs there. Please advise. I live in Southlake, but I am near Colleyville, Grapevine, Hurst area. Thanks, P.

We love Dr Shori w/ Cook's Children's in Grapevine next to Baylor. She is really nice and takes her time with my children. She never rushes us in and out like many doctors do.

This might be out of the way, but We have been seeing Dr. Alfredo Santesteban in Bedford. His office staff is great and he is always praised by other doctors I see. He is part of the Cooks Children's network and is located in the building right next to Harris Methodist HEB.

Dr. Roger Knapp... he and his partner Dr. Nichols are part of Cook's Children's Physician's Network. He is a FANTASTIC doctor and almost everyone on my street uses either him or his partner. I trust him with both of my sons. Ages 6 and 18 months. Fantastic man...good morals...great sense of humor...thorough and informative. He even corresponds through email if you have non-urgent questions! I LOVE THAT!

P.,
Here a link for info for Dr. Elizabeth Dickey. She is really great and is affiliated with 5 or 6 hospitals in the DFW area. Her main office in located in Grapevine (I think she lives in Southlake). She is very smart and has both her PhD and MD. I know several people who go to her and think she is brilliant.
Sincerely, M. Distel

We have used Dr. Roger Knapp at Cook's Childrens in Southlake for 8 years now. We started going to him when he was in Irving, and we continue to drive to Southlake to see him, because we like him so much.
Good luck!

You might set up a time to meet with the docs at the Southlake office. We use the Cook's docs in Denton and they will schedule "meet the doctor" times every other Friday. Also, their office is very close to our neighborhood and that is extremely convenient. You have lots of appointments in the early months and it was darn conventient to have them so close. Also, since it takes about half an hour just to get in the car when you have any baby, especially twins, it was nice to cut down on the travel time to the office. One major suggustion -- make sure your doc has kids of their own. It really affects the doc's ability to offer REAL advice, rather than just quote the American Academy of Pediatrics.

P.-

I am not sure if my group is the one you heard negative things about, but I just moved here from Chicago and started using Cook Childrens Pediatrics group in Keller Town Square on 1709. My doctor is Dr. Kim Mangham. My daughter has a blood clotting disorder and she is the first patient Dr. Mangham has ever had with this. So, I am a bit concerned....but thus far things have been ok with my choice. I had my daughter to Cook Childrens Urgent Care already and were very satisfied with their service there. I'd recommend this group and my particular doctor for your twins. I hate to say it, but many times, it is a trial and error thing with any doctor anymore. I used to work in healthcare so know all to well about idiots and incompetent docs!
