Needing Pediatrician in Overland Park Area

I am currently looking for a new pediatrician for my son. I am very unhappy with his current doctor(s). The wait times are extremely long for a toddler (sometimes over an hour), he sees a different doctor in the practice every time he goes in and they never know what each other has done, and the "once over" care he receives. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good pediatrician in the Overland Park area? I live near 143rd and Metcalf and would like to find a doctor close that area of town.

What can I do next?

Johnson County Pediatrics all the way! We drive from KCMO to see Dr. Deb Winburn - she has seen our boys since they were in the hospital 7 weeks premature, and is awesome. But if you go to walk in sick call (every morning) you may see someone different - but they are all great. One of my boys had viral synovitis a few weeks ago (of course I didn't know that - he was just limping for a few days with no injury) but the dr. we saw figured it out right away, did some tests and confirmed. I have never been disappointed with this practice.

Good luck!

The doctor that I see isn't a pediatrician, but I like her. Her name is Dr. Bodenhammer and she is the College Park Medical Group on 151 st St right off of Metcalf.

123rd and Metcalf. (offices attached to St. Luke's South) Pediatric Care Specialists. We use Dr. Jason Wichman and he is awesome. We've never waited long and all the Drs and nurses are great. I would totally recommend them. I had asked my OB-GYN for a recommendation when I was pg and she takes her own kids there.

We use Dr. Paul Brown at KU Medwest, off of 435 and Midland. He is a little older and kind of goofy looking but we love him. He has young kids of his own and is really good with my son who is 2. I plan to have him for my pediatrician for baby in the oven. You can look up the Dr.'s there up on the internet at http://www.kuphysicians.com/
Good luck!!!

I just switched my daughter to this new office because of almost the same problems. I hated her old pediatricians office. The one she goes to now is Pediatrics Partners they are lacoted at 12200 W 106th Street in OP. They are on the back side of Overland Park Medical Center. They have this great website where you can see the docs and read their history. www.doc4kidz.com. I hope you find one you like. I went through 4 pediatricians before I found this one and they are great! They all love seeing my daughter!
