My children have a wonderful pediatrician. The name of it is, Primary Care Pediatrics. The doctors are Margaret Boudereux and Debbie Flax. They are wonderful. We have been with the practice for four and half years. It is located in Cumming, off of ext.13 past South Forsyth High school on the left. If you are interested I can give you better directions and the phone number.

Someone else already mentioned Dr. Burnham(I think he has 8 children of his own), but Dr. Josephson (two of his own) is in the same practice (Roswell Pediatrics). We've been with this office for just over 7 years with three sons. I have been very pleased with them. Their NPs are fantastic, quick appointment times, good listeners, phone nurses quick to respond, and their office in Alpharetta is open on Saturdays. We typically visit the office in Cumming, though. Dr. J is our primary, but we've seen them all over the years and highly recommend them.

hi there-
Georgetown Pediatrics is where we have gone for 8 years now with my four children. There are several great doctors there and a nurse practitioner that we love. Dr. Rebekah Blackington and Dr. Becknell are our favorites. The nurse practitioner is Stacy and she is wonderful. They have offices in Alpharetta and Cumming, I believe. Their # is ###-###-####.
Welcome to the area and hope you find a pediatrician you love!

A.... There are two great pediatricians that can be seen in either Cumming or Alpharetta, fortunately they are both in the same practice! They both LISTEN and make your child less apprehensive and are gentle.

PERSONALLY I prefer the staff at the Alpharetta office as they are FAR more professional and less legalistic. The Docs are:

Dr. Burnham
Dr. Bowman
###-###-####
The Alpha office is on Old Milton and the Cumming office is off exit 14 of 400.
And by the way, a great Peds dental practice- ###-###-#### - Children's Dentistry.

Dr. Barbara Steele is wonderful. She is a solo pediatrician, with a Nurse Practitioner once a week. It's always easy to get an appointment, too. You can check out their website at alpharettakids.com She is located off on Jones Bridge in Alpharetta, with easy access from Bethelview or McGinnis Ferry/McFarland. I live in Cumming and it takes me about 20 min., which is about how long it takes to get anywhere around here!! Mom of 4 under 5!

Children's Medical Group, on McGinnis Ferry, right behind the Kohl's shopping center on P'tree Parkway. I can't say enough good things about them. Dr. James Cox is wonderful, although they have many other great docs in the practice,plus several FNPs whom I trust. Great staff, easy to work in sick visits, etc. I followed them from Decatur (where they have an office) to John's Creek, even though I live in Suwanee!

I really like Margaret Boudreaux, M.D. She just opened her own practice and is now Primary Care Pediatrics located at 763 Peachtree Parkway, Suite 2, Cumming 30041. Her number is: ###-###-#### and website is www.primarycarepediatrics.com. We followed her over from her old practice b/c we liked her so much. Her nurse, Deb, is fantastic and is a nurse practitioner, so she can answer a lot of questions too. Dr. Boudreaux does not rush you, listens and gives good & practical advice. She has 5 kids of her own, so I feel like I get the best of both worlds - Dr. advice from a real mom that knows. I have also seen Dr. Bleekrode of Alpharetta Pediatrics where Dr. Boudreaux was prior to her new practice. She is also very good. Her office is also in Cumming off Exit 15. Good luck!

My kids are 7, 5 and 2 and we have had three pediatricians in that time. We have been with Pediatric Assoc. of Johns Creek for several years now and I love them- great office, great location, great front end help, nurses return phone calls fast, and you can always get in the same morning you call. We had previously been to Roswell Pediatrics (Cumming Location) and were very unhappy with the front end help. We also were with Dunwoody Pediatrics (Alph location) and were unhappy with the office (too small, too old), you couldn't get in until pm with a sick call in the am, and the office help was snooty. Their were four of us from our neighborhood that switched from Dunwoody to Ped. Assoc of Johns Creek (behind Kohls) and we have all been very pleased. Sometimes you can overlook things if your children are older and only get seen once a year for the check up. If you have small children or are not done having kids, then be sure to do your homework. Changing is a hassle.

We absolutely love and adore my daughter's pediatrician. We have been with her since my daughter was born, nearly 3 years ago. She has recently expanded her practice to include another pediatrician and nurse practioner. I would highly recommend Dr. Kute. She is a WONDERFUL pediatrician who genuinely cares about her patients (and their mom's).
