Hello ladies! We are just moving back to Texas and are in need of a good pediatrician. We live in the Southeast Arlington/Mansfield area but are willing to travel. I am wanting someone who is accepting new patients, and who is really good with the children. Also if the doctor is good with ADHD that is a plus. The children need a thorough check-up. Thanks for all your help.

What can I do next?

I too recommend Dr. Erin Wallace at Methodist Mansfield. My daughter loves her. Her office is new and clean. Very kid friendly. She will always send you to Cook's if it is something she can not handle.(She is a pediatrician)

Hi K.,

I have taken my girls to Dr. Marcia Sampson in Mansfield since we moved back to Texas nine years ago. Her number is ###-###-####. Her office is called Mansfield Pediatrics. We moved to Grand Prairie five years ago, but I still travel to Mansfield for my kids' doctors appointments. She's great, never rushes and is just an all around good doctor. She has a good rapore with kids too.

Good luck!

I recommend Robert Mann with Cook Children's. He is located on S Matlock. He is an older gentleman, but is very knowledgeable & keeps up with current treatments. We have been very pleased with him. He loves children & will tell you that is why he continues to practice. He is also very active in the Arlington community. He has a clinic at Mission Arlington & is on the Board at Grace Prep school in Arlington. His office ####-###-####.

I live in Mansfield and asked a lot people about pediatricians and I heard Dr. Robert Mann over and over again. I finally took my son to see him this summer and I saw why people love him. He really validates a mom's instincts rather than acting like you as the mother don't know anything. I don't know his experience with ADHD, but he isn't fresh out of med school and I have a feeling he's seen it all. One of their offices in Mansfield or Arlington are open on the weekends. I had to use the one by UTA on a Saturday and I was happy with that doc and how quickly they got me in.

I take my son to Dr. R.L. Stinson Jones with Fort Worth Pediatrics, downtown Fort Worth. Though we have seen several doctors at his office and a couple at the office off of Bryant Irvin and we have not met one doctor who wasn't very thorough and very attentive, definetely check into Fort Worth Pediatrics, they have 3 offices total.

I moved to the mansfield area from NY 8 weeks ago and I just met with a Pediatrician, Dr. Erin Wallce. I really Liked her. She is young, was great with the kids and my son who does not stop talking. She did not get irrated with him. My son has also had many issues with his ears and she did note a hearing deficit in his left ear and immediately sent him to an ENT. I have only been there once so far but did like her and the office staff. I am also a RN so am quite particular on Physician's.

I am a work at home mum of 2 great kids ages 6 and 10. Married 15 years.

I kmow you are looking for a pediatrician. My husband and I went with a few and decided in the end to take our son at the age of 6mos old to our family Dr since we were getting advice from him. Also he himself is a father of 2 kids boy and girl and we trust him more. His name is Dr Uselton his office number is ###-###-####. Also anyone in his office can take care of infants,toddlers and kids. I myself have been going to see him and his associates since I was 7 yrs old, and I am now 30. Unfortunately we are about to leave him again since I am Army and will be transfering to Columbus, NE and will have to find a new dr. We just had 3 really bad experiances with pediatricians and their advise and now our son has to pay the price since they didn't do their job throughly. Hope he can help. Oh and the other awsome part of his office is that they have after hours from 5-9p M-F and have Sat and Sun hours that all you pay is your regular medical co-pay and they are the Arlington Family Medical Center on Green Oaks and Cooper just behind Kohls and McDonalds. Good Luck and Dr Uselton is wonder and so is all the staff that he works with.

They just opened a new Cook Children's off of Matlock between Canon & Broad. Dr. Robert Mann is there and I've seen posts on here of mom's liking him. I haven't been, nor know anybody who has been. My kids see a doctor who is not taking new patients. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

Highly reccommend and second the suggestions of Dr. Daniels and Dr. Mann (we use Daniels, but saw Mann in a pinch once- and their nurses are terrific too). I love the staff, they have been terrific. Often when I call with a question the nurse actually answers the phone- no waiting! The are friendly, and have a great deal of common sense and practicality. Someone is available to help on weekends and holidays since it is in Cook Children's network. I talked to a nurse at 8 pm on Christmas eve... terrific bedside manner... love them.
