My children are in need of a new Pediatrician. Every single time they go to their current doctor they get sick. (Not exaggerating.) One of my son's has respiratory symptoms all of the time. Allergies? Bronchiolitis? Viris? They never seem to know. (which I partly understand.) He doesn't have an ear infection so they send him home and tell us to do breathing treatments, two days later he does have one. They put him on antibiotics that don't work. A couple weeks later different antibiotics, a few weeks later a different round with an ear infection in the other ear. Then he has to have Rocefin. (The antibiotic shots in the butt that hurt like he--. Three days in a row. Quite traumatic for a 4 year old. This week I took him in for pink eye on Monday. No other symptoms. Now he's sick as a dog. With the same barky cough that he always gets except now he's got an intermittant fever as well. I asked the Dr. while I was there what kind of cough medicine would be best for him. He tells me one with an expectorant. (Guiafed) On the package it says do not take if you have a chronic cough or asthma symptoms. Both of which my son has. My doctor seems to forget which type of cough my son gets. He NEVER has a productive cough. I am the same way. Prone to bronchitis. I know exactly how my son feels and I'd really like to find someone who can treat him. I'd also like to find someone who can keep thier office clean and someone who has kids of their own. (We live at the Plano/Allen border)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I LOVE my pediatrician. She is with pediatric healthcare assoc. in McKinney. The doctor we see is Dr. Virginia Menchaca, I have seen others in the practice and everyone is fantastic. They take the time to really listen to what is going on and you never feel rushed. It's is always a plesant experience and the offices are clean.
Hello C.,
I am sorry to hear about your struggles. I do not know of a good pediatrician. I'm not exactly happy with mine either. But I noticed that you are a work at home mom. Can you give me a little insight as to what you do? I am desperately seeking a job from hom and would value any information you can provide.
I work at Medical City Dallas Hospital, and I take my children to Dr. Ron Blair, his phone number is ###-###-####. He is absolutely amazing...I love him so much, my children love him. He has 3 or 4 sons himself and is so gentel, soft spoken and all around amazing...Im not sure if I mentioned he is amazing. My son used to see another dr and he always cried the entire time we were there, he was always sick and never getting better, not to mention they gave him the flu shot while he had been running fever the night before...I was outraged by everything and decided to switch to Dr Blair when my daughter was born. He taught my son how to blow kisses the first time they met. My son did cry a little, but 90% less than he did w/ his first doctor. I know it is a little far for you to drive, but MCD is a wonderful childrens hospital. For any emergency care. The distance is well worth the care for your sons that Dr Blair could provide. I wish you the best of luck. PS you can fill out all paperwork and have access to your childrens info on a very secured website that the dr has. very convienent. good luck
Since you are in plano you may want to try Raintree Pedriatics,in Allen both doctors Dr. Smith and Dr Cook are great. They listen to what you have to say. Im sure they could help you out in your situation.
C.,
You might want to consider taking your son to see an allergy/asthma specialist, as well as a pedi EENT. -JM
Hi C.,
I highly recommend Dr. Nail at Centennial Pediatrics in Frisco at 121 and Coit Rd. Any doctor in that office will be wonderful!

I send my daughters to Dr. Kasmiersky at Frisco Medical on Warren. We can always get right in and we like everybody there. Now, Dr. Kasmiersky is a family doctor but she has been great with our family.
Dr Pete Stellman on Main Street in the Colony is great. My son had RSV & is on breathing treatments 2 years later. When he was not comfortable my sone was getting better he will refer to specialist. They are all associate w/Childrens which is what you should look for in Pedi. Also Dr.'s in the office will call you back personally if you need them. Good Luck.
