Looking for a Wonderful Pediatrician in the Keller Area

Hi Mamas,

I have had a horrible experience with my previous pediatrician "Kid Care Pediatrics." Maybe I'm just expecting too much!! I'm looking for a loving and kind doctor in the Keller area that when I take my child in, they will actually get to see the same doctor each time we go in. My girls both have asthma and I want a doctor that knows them and there physical needs. Seeing a different doctor each time, well we can't get to know them and they can't get to know us. Does that make sense? I want a doctor that cares for the patients they have, not how many they can get through in an hour. To be fair to Kid Care Pediatric I will not go in to detail on what happened, but we are very upset and honestly, I would never recommend them to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

WOW!!!! Thank you "MAMA'S" You've come through for me again!!!

I have to say I shouldn't be shocked at everyone's responses about Kid Care. I'm just glad it wasn't me expecting too much!!! I appreciate so much for your time!! It is very sad for them that we all feel this way, they are hurting themselves, because like me, you probably wouldn't recommend them to anyone either. I feel like you gave me some great recommendations and I am looking forward to a future with a new and wonderful pediatrician.

Thanks again!!
Your "mama friend" T.

I have 2 kids that I take to Dr Roger Knapp who is apart of Cook Childrens Physician Network in Southlake on Southlake Blvd and White Chapel ###-###-####. We have had a great experience with him. We have only seen his partner Dr Nicols once and that was a same day appointment while Dr Knapp was out of town. He was also very nice.

Dr. Kim Mangham in Keller is great! She's on 1709 at Cook Children's Pediatrics. Love her!

I don't know what part of Keller you're in, but my kids go to Dr. Davis at Cook's Children's. He's located at Western Center and Beach St. in the Albertons parking lot. They each started seeing him when they were a month old (they are now 6 and 3). He is kind and caring and I've never had a problem getting them in when they are sick. My 3 year old was really sick the week before Christmas and we had to go in every day for almost a week. He was patient and I really feel like he did everything possible to get my boy well (and he was by Christmas). I highly recommend him. Only once have we seen his associate and that was when he was on vacation and my son had the flu. She was a very nice doctor too. I wish he could have been their pedi at birth, but my obgyn delivers at Arlington Memorial, and Dr. Davis only goes to Cooks Childrens.

We too left Kid Care, along with many other people that have responded to your request, it was always so dirty when i went in there and i could never get into my daughters actual dr.!
We go to Dr. Kim Mangum at Cooks at 1709 and Rufe Snow and love her, we have also seen Dr. Yok and Dr. Hampton at the same clinic and they were also great!

Hope you find one soon!

I am also a former Kidcare Mom. I tried to get into Dr Yok's practice for over 7 months and they were never accepting new patients. Same thing for all the other docs at that office.

I ended up at Southlake Family Medicine with Dr. Zwernemann - and we love her! They have been wonderful about working us in when needed and we always see her unless it's an urgent visit and she isn't available - which has only happened twice.
Can't say enough good things about them, they're a wonderful group!

T.-

I, too, had to leave Kid Care Pediatrics for numerous reasons. I would always give them a second chance but then one day I got fed up and had my son's records transferred to a new office.

I second Cook's Pediatrics off of 1709 in Southlake. My son sees Dr. Nichols who is always very nice to me and my son. I have also seen his associate once, Dr. Knapp, and he is amazing as well. There front office staff is on the ball and very professional as well which was one of my major "beefs" with Kid Care.

I hope this helps and you give them a try.

T.,
We love our pediatrician and have been using him for 13 years. He is a predi asthma, allergy specialist. Which was part of why we began using him. Best of all he is in an office by himself, we have never had to wait long to see him (I mean usually 30 min or less) and he truely does care. He isn't however located in keller, he is in fort worth by Harris and Cooks hospitals. Here is the information, if you can't find what you are looking for in Keller.

Dr S. Kaushik 617 Travis Ave, FT Worth, ###-###-####

Also, from experience I would interview any doctor you are considering. Your time, money and mostly your family are presious. Make sure you can work together for your childrens health. Best of Luck, K

T., We also had a bad experience at Kid Care and left. We are now at Cooks on 1709 in Keller. My girls see Dr. Sara Yok and love her. The only time we have ever seen a different physician is if we call for a same-day sick appt and she either happens to not be there or isn't available for same-day appts. But, still they give you an option to wait to see your regular Dr. if you prefer.

The staff there is great and we've been really happy with our move.
