Pediatrician in North Fort Worth, Keller Area

I am about to have a baby in 2 months and don't know how I should go about finding a good pediatrician. I am hoping to find one that is very supportive of my choices to breast-feed and cloth diaper. My best friend lives in Weatherford so she is no help. I don't know how you find a good one except by references.

What can I do next?

Dr.Benzick is in Southlake, but he is absolutely wonderful! I am about to have my 2nd baby and he will definitely be his ped as well. I live in Keller and he is off of 1709.

D.,

I have been going to Dr. W. Pierre Roberts at Grapevine Pediatrics. He is WONDERFUL. My son is 7 and has been seeing him since he was born, I got to meet with him before my son was born and then after that we switched my 4 year old at the time to him and she is 11 now and loves him. Dr. Omar Gomez is great also, but he is just expanding all the time. We saw him briefly with my first child.

good luck.

I use Kid Care Pediatrics. They have an office in north Ft Worth (Western and 35) and in Keller on 1709. Their website is www.kidcarepediatrics.com. I have two girls (2 and 2 months) and they love both Dr Gomez and Dr Fricker. We have been going to them since my oldest daughter was 2 months. I have breastfed both my daughters and they are very supportive. I also had a problem with Colic with my second child and they were quick to assist with "non-medication" methods in order to help her be more comfortable and me get some sleep. They have a vaccination schedule that they follow, however if you do not belive in vaccinations you should be able to discuss your concerns. I have always been able to discuss any concerns I had without feeling dumb. Hope this helps

I really am pleased with my pediatrician. His office is with Kid Care Pediatrics. His name is Omar Gomez. He has an office in Keller and one off of Western Center. You can set up a prenatal meeting with him to get to know him and discuss your concerns and ask questions. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I too currently go to kid care pediatrics and have since my son was born (he is now 6 years old). We started going when Dr. Gomez was the only doctor. I absolutely love him, however, his growing business has made it more and more difficult to see him. I usually get stuck with a nurse practioner or a different doctor every time I go. I am thinking of changing because of this since it can get aggravating seeing different doctors all the time. I insisted on seeing Gomez for my kids check up and they couldn't get me in for 2 months just for the checkup. He is usually very good in getting newborns, but it seems after that you are put aside. They are very good at getting you in the same day, but like I said, its with whoever is available. So....one question to ask in your interviews with the pediatricians if it is a concern of yours is if you will only see that doctor or if there is a chance you will have to see different doctors every time.

Hi, I have a 3 month old daughter and absolutely love our pediatrician. This might be too far for you though, it's in Southlake, Southlake Family Medicine, Dr. Zwernemann. She's a woman and is so patient and answers all my hundreds of questions. She's very understanding and I would highly recommend her. I've also heard good things about Dr. Benzick in the same practice. To get her though you would have to select her from the beginning to come to the hospital otherwise she does not accept new patients.

We go to Southlake Family Medicine too. Dr. Benzick is wonderful! I highly recommend him! He was recommended to us by my best friend's pediatrician that's in Rockwall. I believe he only takes newborns also. He's so caring and actually takes the time to answer any questions you have and his nurses are the best. Any time I have needed to get my daughter in the same day to see him, they have always fit us in. You can call and schedule an interview to meet him before you have the baby...that's what we did. Congratulations and good luck!

We just had a little boy in January and we took our OB's recommendation. His name is Dr. Deitchman and he has an office in Hurst. He's with Cook's Children's Physicans Network. We live in Saginaw, so we have to drive a little bit, but it's definitely worth it. I would recommend our pediatrician to anyone. My husband describes him as a human first and a doctor second. He puts things in simpple terms we can understand and takes time to listen to our every question, and as first time parents that's a huge plus! I don't cloth diaper, but I do exclusively breastfeed.
