Hello mamas! I'm in need of a good pediatrician in Arlington. My son's 2nd birthday is coming up next month and I need to take him for his regular check up, but I do not care for the pediatrician that he's been seeing. The staff is very short with you and rude and the doctor is in and out in about a minute. I need someone who is more personable and will spend more time with my son. Also, I would like somewhere that is more family friendly. I'd appreciate all recommendations! Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you all so much for all of the wonderful referrals!! All of your opinions meant a lot and helped me pick out my son's new doctor. After researching a few, I decided to go with Dr. Sherry Nussbaum. My son has his first appointment in a few weeks and we're excited about meeting Dr. Sherry! Thank you again for all of your help!

Another great pediatrician at the Medical Clinic of North Texas is Stacy Gibson-Hull. She's been my daughter's doctor since birth and we really appreciate how personable Dr. Hull is with us every visit. I highly recommend her.

We belong to the Cook Children's Physician's Network, and we really love both my girls' regular Ped and another doctor who we've used several times when he was the on-call physician after hours (and was actually my youngest's Dr. while still in hospital after her birth).

Dr. Mann is in Mansfield, so if you're South Arlington, he'd still be very convenient. Dr. Rain is right on the edge of the UTA campus, so it's a fairly central location to most of Arlington. They are both very kind, patient with moms who ask lots of questions, and love the kids - and the kids love them!

I am so sorry that you've had a poor experience... who the heck would staff an office dedicated to kids with a bunch of people who can't be patient with the situation?! Good luck - picking a pediatrician is big choice!

Dr. Daniels and Dr. Mann (we see Dr. Daniels but have also been to Dr. Mann in a pinch) are both terrific men in the Cook's Childrens network. Their nurse is FABULOUS and usually answers calls so you don't even have to leave a message and wait- but if you do leave a message she's back to you quickly. They send lots of time with us and I was able to get ahole of someone on Christmas eve this year easily.

My kids (boy 8, girl 5) love our peditrician.
Her name is Dr. Sherry Nussbaum and she is located off Abrams between Davis and Bowen. We have been going to her since she took over for my previous peditrician when my daughter was about 3 months old. She is very good and spends quite a bit of time with the kids when we go see her. She really makes you feel like you are part of her family.

I hope this helps!

Dr. Eva Carrizales and her partner/daughter Dr. Rodriguez are nice. They're on Davis/Pioneer. They take Blue Cross/Blue Shield and other insurance I think.

I would not take my child to any pediatrician except Dr. Sherry Nussbaum. She's fabulous! She knows the name of every child and parent in her practice. She takes her time and makes sure that you know that she truly cares about your child. She greets each child and parent with a hug.

Her staff is awesome!

I would take her over free medical care elsewhere.

I use Dr. Richard Chiarello on N. Fielder for my 6 month old boy. He is very experienced and his staff is friendly.

Dr. Marcia Sampson is the best pediatrician in this area. I am very very particular and she talks to my boys like she is part of our family. You should schedule an interview with at least three doctors and then decide. You will not find a more beautiful office and knowledgeable doctor than Dr. Sampson. She is in an office with Dr. Archer but I recommend you only see Dr. Sampson. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Sampson I trust her 100% in the decisions she makes about my boys care. I feel like I could call her and talk to her like I do my mother about anything. Her staff is always busy but nice to the patients.

Call Dr. Davidson at Arlington Pediatrics. He is AWESOME. He's direct, but spends lots of time with your child and goes over everything.
He's located in the Hospital off of Matlock and 20.

We see Dr. Daniel Geppert , Arlington Physicians, 950 North Davis, ###-###-####. He has a great bed side manner with the kids. The office staff is very nice too. I was actually referred to his partner originally, but she was not taking any new patients at the time, so we meet with him instead. I'm glad we did because I am very happy with him.

I know a lot of Mom's like Dr. Myers in south Arlington. I tried to meet him and never made it past the office staff. I can't say anything about HIM because I never saw him. I just had a very bad experience with his office manager and never went back. I could have caught her on a bad day but "first impressions are everything". If you want someone on the south side, give them a call. I have heard great things about the Doctor from more than one source.
