Hello all,
Does anyone have recommendation for one or both of the above practitioners? We're not very satisfied with the pediatrician we have for our 2 year-old and newborn, and also both will need to see a dentist soon.
Many thanks!
Hello all,
I'd like to thanked everyone who responded to my inquiry for a pediatrician/dentist in the area. We went to Glendale Pediatrics and had a much better experience with their staff than our previous peds. Many thanks again!
Glendale Pediatrics Glendalepeds.com are amazing. Everyone in the group is really great (and you end up seeing them all when you come in for sick child visits!) My kids' primary is Dr. James Henry and I think he's FANTASTIC.
Another enthusiastic recommendation for Dr. Nishibayashi at 110 Stocker. ###-###-####. We've taken our daughter since she was 3 days old - she just went for her 9 month checkup. Her 11 month old cousin also goes to him. I'm not enthused about vaccines, so he splits them up - half on the appt date and then half the next week or month. He is very down to earth and our daughter loves him ... and Kathy and Nancy, (nurse and office) too. Don't know about dentists. Congratulations!
I really like our pediatrician: Margaret Zdarzyl. She's in Glendale in the 1818 Verdugo building behind Verdugo Hills Hospital. My daughter loves her ped. dentist: David Chin. He's in the 1808 Verdugo building in front of VHH. I'm pregnant with twins and Dr. Margaret is really excited for us, which made me feel really good. She's no nonsense and gives it to you straight, which I like. We chose her because several friends who are rather "hard to please" have gone to her for years. I figured their endorsements were worth a lot.
We love and have been with for almost a decade, Dr. Germaine Green-Martin (female) in Glendale and Dentist Zinnia Carlos-Regala (female) in Burbank.
I LOVE Dr. Hammar at Burbank Pediatrics (on Magnolia and Lincoln). I had her as a pediatrican when I was a child and now I bring both of my children to her. We also love Doris, her nurse. Dr. Hammar is very attentive to my concerns. Never "dismisses" me, is accepting of my want to wait on vaccines and has a great bed-side manner. If I schedule a morning appointment, I find I rarely have to wait too long to get in and out. On the other hand if I schedule a late morning or afternoon appointment, there tends to be more of a wait, but usually within reason.
As for dentist, we take our three year old to our regular dentist; Dr. Leon in Glendale on Brand Blvd, above Glenoaks. My husband has seen him since he was a child and we LOVE their office. They are quite busy, so you have to make an appointment a ways in advance, but we usually schedule our next appointment at the previous one (6 months apart) so it never is an issue. Our three year old just had her third appointment with them and they've been great with her every time. They are not specifically "pediatric" but it doesn't seem to matter and I like getting her and me done at the same time!
Dr Steven Nishibayashi in Glendale for a pediatrician
Dr Zinnia Carlos for a pediatric dentist in Burbank
They are both great!
Good Luck
T., CONGRATULATIONS on your NEW ARRIVAL!!! : )))
I highly suggest Dr. Paul Fleiss, who was recommended to us by our amazing midwife, Tonya Brooks. Dr. Fleiss is truly one of the most amazing pediatricians my husband and I have ever met! He grants so much kindness to children and has such a big heart. We love that he passionately advocates nursing, and our son, Dylan Orion, loves him and his staff.
Here's his data:
1824 N. Hillhurst Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90027.
Phone: ###-###-####
Feel free to call me if you have any questions: (323) 906~2784.
Enjoy these dazzling times!!!
LOL,
L. (MAMA to 13 month old Dylan Orion.....29 September 2007). : ))
I absolutely LOVE our peditrician. Her name is Dr. Germaine Green, with Pacific Hills Pediatrics in Glendale. She's great, and her two partners are great too. Every time I've called after hours (evenings or weekends), I've had one of the 3 of them return my call within 10 minutes (usually immediately).
Dr. Green's number is ###-###-####, and address is 1500 S. Central, Glendale (across the street from Glendale Memorial). I feel extremely fortunate to have been introduced to her by my OBGYN while I was pregnant with my son. I just love her!
Good luck.
A great pediatriciam is Dr. Nishibayashi at 110 W. Stocker. He saw all three of my kids. Can't say enough good things about him and his staff. Sorry, I don't know a dentist for babies.
I love our pediatrician, Dr. Nevile Anderson at Descanos Pediatrics in La Canada. I live in Glendale and the drive is a breezy and well worth it as every doctor at the practice is fantastic. My 2 1/2 year old doesn't cry and they have given her outstanding treatment. We used to go to Dr. Happy Khana and I couldn't have been more unhappy.
We see Dr. Richard Feuille at Glendale Pediatrics. To be honest, I would be happy to have any of the doctors in that group as our pediatrician. They are all highly knowledgeable have great people skills, plus they have a fantastic nurse that you can call. You can check out their website to get an idea of their philosophy about care. www.glendalepeds.com
As for dentist - Dr. David Chen at Verdugo Hills is a great pediatric dentist. The staff is so wonderful with kids - friendly and patient. My son does great there.
I am thrilled with both resources!
