Hi Moms!
I am moving into a new home in Rockwall in a few months and have a 16 month old little boy. I would love to have advice on a good pediatrician, pediatric dentist, and any classes that you might recommend for little ones out there. Any ideas would be helpful, I am just trying to get ahead of the game on this one. Thanks!!

So What Happened?

Thank you all so much for the great advice! I actually am looking at Galaxy Ranch!! It's our #1 pick so far so it's great to get such a great recommendation. I will also look into Pecan tree for our ped :) We are so excited to get out there it seems like the perfect city for my family :)

I am not sure about the pediatrician's and such but if you are looking for a GREAT school for your little one to attend I have a fantasic recommendation!! Galaxy Ranch off of Hwy. 276. They have another school in Garland called Blue Ivey. My kids have attended the school for 7 years now! I could not speak higher of any other school... they are more like family to us now. I cannot imagine sending my kids anywhere else! I am super picky about the daycare thing and one thing I really like is this is more organized like a school vs a daycare. NEVER have we ever had any issues with them and how they handle things. The cool thing about Galaxy Ranch too is that when your child is a little older, they have a pool inside to teach swimming lessons... They also have a SUPER awesome summer explorer program for school age kids. Anyway, I attached a link to their website if you are interested :) Hope this helps!

We go to Pecan Tree Pediatrics and LOVE all the doctors there. It's easy getting the kids scheduled, and we never have waited more than 5 minutes to see the doctor. Susan Allman is our pediatric dentist, and is also great. Lake Pointe Church has lots of programs for the kids: Mother's Day Out, pre-school, sports, fine arts, etc. Our 4 year old goes to Rockwall First Baptist for pre-school though - same curriculum as Lake Pointe, but smaller and less overwhelming (which is what we needed). He loves it!

We love Dr. Stewart as our dentist. He takes kids and adults. He's in Rockwall by Target. We also go to Lake Ray Hubbard Pediatrics on Rowlett and have been very pleased.

I've been to three different pediatric offices in Rockwall!! We finally found Pecan Tree Pediatrics and have really liked them so far! They are delayed vaccine friendly if you are on a delayed schedule. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to see the doctor!! There are lots of family fun things to do here. Unfortunately this time of year they do alot of them after the sun goes down which is too late for my little ones. The library has an awesome story program. Check them out on line to get the schedule. Harry myers is a great park for all ages. They also have a splash park down the street from the big playground. Welcome to Rockwall!

We do not live in Rockwall, but we use Dr. Gregory Sonnen as our Pediatrician at Pediatric and Adolesence Specialist in Rockwall. He is fantastic and my 13 month old loves him!

Hi there! Unfortunately we use a pedi in Plano (vaccine friendly) and have yet to go to a pediatric dentist but if you are interested in a Mother's Day Out program (my daughter started at 2.5 years), Lake Pointe Church can't be beat. I highly recommend them. Also, be sure to check out Harry Myers Park. They have a huge wooden toddler playground, pool, pond, spray-ground, walking trail, dog park, etc. We LOVE Rockwall!! It's extremely family friendly. They are constantly organizing family events that are free to attend. Love, love, LOVE it here! So welcome to Rockwall! Where will you be? We may be neighbors. :)
