Hi L.,
I go to Mesa Pediatrics and see Dr. DaSilva. She is wonderful, and my son loves her. She is really good with him and I would recommend her to anyone! Let me know if you are interested in more information. The office is on Higley and Germann.
Good Luck!

Hi L.,

We are using Dr. Randy Leavitt at Gilbert Pediatrics ###-###-####. He was recommended to us by a friend who has taken her son to him for 8 years (since birth). It also turns out that my OB took all of her children to him (her youngest is now 18 and still wants to see Dr. Leavitt). One of the great things we love is that they also offer after hours service at the same office and it's the same doctors that rotate being on call.

This website has a great article about their office: http://www.azcentral.com/families/articles/0311m-gr-night...

Also, if you do a search in Google for "Gilbert Pediatrics" - there are a few message/discussion boards where other parents are talking about Dr. Leavitt as well as Dr. Guthrie (excellent things said about both doctors).

Hope this helps!

Dear L.,

I take my son to Gilbert Pediatrics (Baseline/Greenfield). The doctors there are absolutely wonderful. They really take the time to answer all your questions/concerns during your office visit. Like with so many doctors, you don't get the feeling of being rushed out so they can get on to the next patient. They also do a really good job of getting me in the same day if my son is sick. The only drawback is that there is usually a significant wait in the waiting room, so I usually plan on being there about an hour.

Hope this helps!

We just switched pediatricians ourselves. We used to see Dr. Novy at Children's Oasis and we didn't have any big problems with her (there were a few things that made me a little uncomfortable but nothing serious) but I heard some not so great stories from the other moms in my playgroup and decided to switch to the pediatrician that they all recommended. We've only been to her once but she was very nice and attentive the time we went. I liked that she really tried to interact with our son - something Dr. Novy never really did. Anyway, her name is Dr. Sudha (that's her first name) and she has her own practice - Gateway Pediatrics. The website is: www.greatcareforkids.com. I hope this helps!

When we were living in the Gilbert area we took our boys to Mesa Pediatrics, the Gilbert office I believe is on Guadalupe and Val Vista. All of the doctors and staff there were great, our pediatrician was Dr. Bill Gause. He was great for me and with the kids.

I love my Pedatrician and his clinic... however he is in Mesa. He is just off the 101 and 60 so it is pretty easy to get to. I drive 25 minutes each way just to see him.

He is James Lieferman at the East Valley Children's Center. The whole office has fantastic doctors and I feel comfortable seeing any one of them. Dr. Leiferman is very current and knowledgable. He listens and makes the kids feel comfortable. While he is nice and pleasant, he won't let you get away with anything -- like making sure my two year old son got rid of his pacifier. He encourages you to be a better parent but does it in such a way that is actually helpful. My four boys love him and he always makes them laugh. He doesn't let stuff just slide by. If you have a concern, it becomes his concern as well. I can't say enough good about him.

HI L.,
I have been with Pueblo Pediatrics for a while now and Dr. Salak is the best doctor i have ever met. My children are getting to teen age age and he is really helping with the adjustment and changes. He has an excellent bedside mavnner and has never made me feel like "the stupid mom and he is the all knowing doctor"......To me to be respected as the one seeing your childs symptoms first hand was priceless. The staff is great too, It is on vineyard just south of baseline and west of countryclub, Good luck, L.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE our pediatrician, Dr. Mark Gentile...he is in Chandler though. On Alma School and Chandler. He is the only doctor, so you always see the same one, although he does have a PA that works with him and you might see the PA if you have to come in like that day or something. And the PA was very nice too. (my son had a cold and needed to be seen right away) He has been in practice for over 20 yrs, has 5 kids himself, always takes time with us to answer any questions, we never feel rushed. He has 2 separate entrances for well kids and sick kids...we recently were thinking of moving out of state, and I actually had him as one of the reasons to stay. (we ended up staying, not only for him but other reasons too) His number is: ###-###-####.

Hi L. - My daughter goes to Dr. Katherine Krieg. She's located on the corner of McQueen and Elliott. There's another pediatrician she shares an office with Dr. Novy. We've seen her once when Dr. Krieg wasn't available. We like both but Dr. Krieg is her doctor. Good luck and I hope this was helpful!

I am using Palo Verde, and am pretty happy with them. Recommend AGAINST Gilbert Pediatrics unless you are very religious and a stay-at-home mom. I went to their informational evening and found the doctor there to be very opinionated about such things. As a working mom, I was offended and will never return.

We really love Dr. Jason Jones at Queen Creek Primary Care. Also, Dr. Lamb there is the Lead Physician. They do not specialize persay in pedicatrics but they have been seeing my kids since they were like 1 year old. They have an after hours urgent care right in their office that is open 12-7 every day where you can go if there is a reason you need a same day appointment and they can not get you on the schedule. There are like 5 physicians on staff and a nurse practitioner David Rope who is wonderful. Dr. Richmond and Dr. Mickey are generally the Doctors on call after hours and they are great too. http://www.qcprimarycare.com/ this is their website and their number is ###-###-####. It says they provide newborn care and complete pregnancy care. Again we love Dr. Jones but they are all great. Good Luck-J.
