Seeking Family Practice with Pediatrician on Site

We just moved here from Ann Arbor MI, which is the University of Michigan campus. The city is basically half campus, half hospital, and there is no shortage of medical care. Our Family Practice housed doctors of all specialties, family/general practice, OB/GYN, pediatrician, etc. all at their one office. I was wondering if there is any facility like that around here. It helps to have one doctor know your whole family and also have assistance on site to deal with other medical specialties as needed. Plus, if the whole family gets sick, I don't want to have to take everyone around town to their own different doctors.
I have found a wonderful OB/GYN for prenatal care, but I need to now find a pediatrician for when the baby is born. Again, I never had to think about that before since our other office took care of the whole family, including babies. Therefore, I would like to choose one facility to meet all of those needs. Does anyone out there have any referrals for me? I really appreciate your input! :)

What can I do next?

Hi - I do not know of a facility here that has all that you described. I can suggest two doctor offices though. Dr. Cecil Michael at Cactus Children's Clinic ###-###-####) is wonderful! I found him through a friend who was using another doctor at that clinic. We live in the Arcadia area (near S. Scottsdale) now but still drive to see him. Also, my doctor for many years Dr. Robert Fauer ###-###-####) does family practice and sees children. He was not on my insurance at the time my son was born hence I didn't even try to have him see my son. I found out later that he also sees children. They both have the BEST bedside manners of any doctor I have EVER seen - and I have seen many with my medical issues. Good luck!

Sorry--I don't have a referral for someone who would care for the whole family, but I love our pediatrician. His name is Bill Gause at Mesa Pediatrics at the Gilbert office on Guadalupe. He is awesome. By the way, we moved here from Michigan too! I lived in the downriver area.
