Help!! I have to switch pediatricians! I absolutely love my doctor (Dr. Elhance @ Lake Lewisville Pediatrics) but they way their office files my insurance isn't right and they don't want to do it differently. So I need to find another AWESOME pediatrician! Do you LOVE your pediatrician? Please let me know who it is! I would kind of like to find someone a little on the holistic side, but I'm not bent on it. I'm located in Corinth, which is a little north of lewisville, so I would like a doctor in the lewisville, flower mound, corinth area.

What can I do next?

HIGHLY recommend Dr. David Samara - www.pediatricplacetexas.com. Can't say enough good things about him - see my response to the other lady who was asking about a good pediatrician! :-)

I have to put in my vote for MD Pediatrics Associates: Dr. Leung. He's great. My two kids see him. He lets them call him Dr. Steve. You've already had him recommended, but I had to give Dr. Steve another boost.

His wife is having a baby soon, so he may be a little booked right now. It's worth the hassle though.

We use Dr. David Goff on Teasley in Denton. I know you said Corinth, but it is very close. He's awesome and I've heard wonderful things about his wife and the other two doctors in the practice. I love the fact that you can have a nurse return your call and give you advice from the doctor about anything from illness to potty training. They, also, have two waiting rooms-one for sick children and one for well.

I will also suggest Dr. David Goff in Denton. He is on Teasley west of 35. We live in Lake Dallas and you can get there by taking Swisher the back way or go north on 35 to Lillian Miller and then go left to Teasley. I have an 8 year old and a 1 year old and both of my sons go to him.

You mentioned "holistic" and I will say that Dr. David (as we call him) supports all vaccinations, but does not believing in prescribing antobiotics for everything. In fact, he has expressed to me that we overmedicate kids and are way to quick to put kids on Ridelin (sp?) and other ADD/ADHS drugs.

I take my toddler girls to Dr. Day with Cook Children's. He's wonderful! We've also seen Dr. David Goff when our doctor has been on vacation. I highly recommend this practice. They couldn't be any nicer.

We have gone to MD Pediatrics since my first was born. They have three offices, Lewisville, Copell, and FLower Mound. We love, love, love Dr Kincaid in Copell. Also, we do our check ups with Beline Boyle, the Nurse Practitioner.

Dr. Jones rocks...she is the most warm and caring person I have met. She is a parent and understands your thoughts, she will sit with you, return calls to you (even on weekends) and she just cares. I couldn't recommend her enough..she is the best person out there.

We also go to Dr. Debra Naylor in Flower Mound. She is across from Lifetime Fitness center if you know where that is. She is terrific and her office staff is wonderful as well. She has a wonderful way with the kids and parents alike.

Good luck!

I am located in Corinth as well and see Dr David Goff as I see that several other moms that posted do too. He is wonderful and his other associate is Dr Day and he is awesome too. Cook Children's have several locations and there is one is Lewisville (not sure on location) that has a female dr (can't remember her name....she is a patient of mine but I am on maternity leave so I won't be able to find her until I am back at work) If you would like her name let me know and I will find out for you...I am returning to work on Monday. Good luck!

See Dr. Amy Adams and Dr. Carrie Jones in Denton (off 35 and Bonnie Brae near Presby Hospital). They are wonderful, for sick visits they always get my daughter right in. Both are very caring and always willing to take as long as you need to understand what is going on. Their number is: ###-###-####.

I really like Healthy Kids Pediatrics. Deborah Z. Bain, M.D. 4851 Legacy Drive, Ste #601 Frisco, Texas 75034
My girls really like her and we always see her, not a variety of doctors. I also like that she is more into natural & healthy choices, rather than prescribing antibiotics for every little thing.

Two thumbs up for Dr.Amy Adams!! I have never had to see Dr. Jones, but I hear she is great!! I used the Dr.s at Cook Childrens (Karen Goff was primary, but saw Dr. Day as well as David Goff) and while I loved her as a pedi, appiontments were hard to get and we always waited FOREVER!! I mean like at least 30 minutes to get back to the room and then another 30 minutes of waiting, and about 5 min. of doctor time. I just could not be there for that long. Never more than a 10 min wait at Dr.Adam's office. Good luck, I know this is a tough call!! ~A.~
