Need to Find All New Doctors...

We moved to the Concord area this past July from Texas. Unfortunately we had to change insurance as well as finding all new doctors and it's been an interesting ride so far... The pedi I have taken both of my kids to for well visits I DO NOT like! He is now willing to listen to me regarding my kids health and history, my son is mild ADHD and he basically told me I had to tell the school (which we are not telling them) because there are things we need to be doing besides the medication he is on (which our insurance doesn't cover and this pedi says he would do just fine on something else...), and the list could go on. I we not comfortable when I left either visit and I am in search of a new doctor for my kids who is willing to partner with us regarding the care of my children and not look down upon me and treat me as though I don't know what I'm talking about.

Additionally, not only do we need to find a pedi but a pedi dentist, I need to find an OB/GYN, and a family practice/GP for the hubby and I.

We have Kaiser insurance now so any suggestions of who is good and who to stay away from I would greatly appreciate. Although we live in Concord, I am not opposed to a doctor who is a bit further away if they are good and are willing to work with us rather than talk down to us!

Thanks in advance!!

What can I do next?

When I had Kaiser insurance Prime Health Peds (I think the name now is Lake Health Pediatrics ###-###-####) accepted it. They are in the Medical building next to Dicks, Kohls area. I like Dr Magro (male) and I also like Dr Cifra-Bean (female). They also have an office in Madison (on Rt 20), probably about 20 minutes away from Concord. For OB/Gyn I use Lake OB/Gyn ###-###-####. Their offices are in Mentor, just down the road from Lowes (corner of JohnnyCake RD) and they have an office in the new hospital physician building. There I really like really all of the Dr. I have seen all of them. Brownlee and Guerrieri are highly spoken of by friends. I do believe they also except Kaiser. The family practice Dr that I use for myself is Dr Robin Zndarsic ###-###-####. She is in Madison off of Rt 20. I absolutely LOVE her. She is part of the Lake Health Family Practice and I there is a male Dr in the practice if your husband has a preference!. She does see children too I believe, but I like the Mentor office for the peds because it is closer to where I live and can get there quickly if I need to + my kids have been going there for years. I too am about 20 minutes away from Madison. As far as Dentists go, we to are looking for new ones. My children were going to Bright Now Dental Clinic on Mentor Ave across for Kmart. We stopped going there because they kept calling to cancel appts (less than a week away from appt)that were made months in advance and then could not get us in again for months. I recently went to Dr Ali Hyat (SP ?) in Concord plaza. She is Ok, her office is not a fancy office and she gets the job done at a fairly reasonable price she will also see my kids.
I hope this helps. Good Luck

Dr. Richards at Dr. Albrecht's office in Concord/Mentor is great! She is not specifically a pediatric dentist, but is wonderful with kids. The office is near Lowe's. I recommend her for the entire family!

Our pedi is not in the area but in Ashtabula (and not taking new patients) so I can't help you there. I need a GP also so again no help, but the ob/gyn I use is Prime Health Womens Specialists at rt91 and rt6. They are awesome! My doctor is Dr. Clinger, but I also love Dr. Vito although she no longer does OB. The only one in the group I don't really care for is Dr. Zart, she is good don't get me wrong, our personalities just don't mesh well. Their number is ###-###-####.

Hi, C.! Welcome to Concord! I hope you brought your snow shovel!! As for a dentist, I would check out Rusty Albrecht who is in Mentor over by Kohl's. He's awesome! As for an OB/GYN... you will absolutely LOVE Jeffrey Cameron in Chardon over by Geauga Hospital. I just referred my girlfriend to him, and she said she will never see another OB/GYN. He's fabulous!

I wish you all the luck in your new home!!
