Hello Moms,
I am looking for info on the following doctors. Our pediatrician is not on our new insurance (which really makes me sad because we love Dr. Guthrie) so I am seeking your input. We have limited choices on pediatricians. Most if not all of these choices are famlily doctors. If you have seen these doctors or are seeing them currently could you let me know if you like them or not. Do they have weekend hours? Do they have a nice waiting area with play area also? Friendly nurses and staff? Is the doctor friendly? Do they give you all their time without rushing? Etc? Let me know what you think on any of these.
Steven L Simmons in Burleson
Lundy E Cavender, Jr. in Burleson
Michael J Polski in Crowley
Sarah Matches in Fort Worth
Thanks Moms. I appreciate any input you have.
Hi M.,
We have used Dr. Sarah Matches since my daughter was an infant. We have found her to be a woderful person as well as excellent Dr. SHe shares a practice with another Doctor named Dr. Kinsy (I think that is her name) We do not recommend her, so make sure you specify Dr. Matches when making the appt. Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
A.
My step son sees Dr Polski and I personally don't care for him as a kid dr. He just doesn't have that extra something that pediatricians have. Doesn't really say much but hands you a handful of prescriptions that you have NO idea what they are for because you don't know what the diagnosis is unless you push him.
My husband has seen Dr Polski. He liked him and the nurses seem pleasant when they have called. Unfortunately, I cant tell you anything first hand and I have never been in the office. We also live in that area, but our children go to a doctor in Mansfield. Dr. Mann is AWESOME!! If the Cooks network is on your plan he is worth the drive! 817-453-KIDS. Good Luck!
My kids are 4 and 5 and we see Dr Lundy Cavender in Burleson. We have only been there twice so far but I really like him and so do my kids. He was very informative, he spent time talking to me AND the kids, and he was friendly. He seemed to be very comfortable with children which I think is most important. When my son was sick I called and got an immediate appointment. The staff was also very friendly. The waiting area is small and there is an even smaller play area so that is a downside. On the other hand I didn't have to sit in it long because I got in and out very quickly. I hope this helps!!
My daughter took my grandson to Dr. Cavender..I did not like him from the get go..He smoked and is around babys...He never would engage in questions - seemed any questions would be directed through his nurse...Dr. Cavender would rush in to see the baby and leave just as fast. Did not trust him or his nurse...after 3 visits and no questions ever answered, enough is enough...something very suspicious about them?
Both of my girls go to Dr. Matches and she is super nice and great with the kids. She also will take the time to answer any questions you may have and she really loves the kids!!!! Hope this helps!!!
