My son's pediatrician is too far away, and we can never see him because there are too many doctors in his office! I am looking for a pediatrician in the Grain Valley/Blue Springs area that accepts Blue Care and has a small enough practice that we always see the SAME doctor. Since his birth, we have seen about five or six different doctors, and I am sick of it! I want ONE doctor that can get to know my son and understand his needs and medical history without having to rely on others' notes each time.

Please do not respond unless you really like your doctor. I want someone that is personable and caring, patient and kind, understanding and knowledgeable.

Thanks in advance for any and all referrals!

So What Happened?

Thank you all for your responses! Sorry it took so long to let you know "What Happened," but I just got my son's insurance changed over so we can go to Cockrell & McIntosh. I got their name read your reviews here, asked around elsewhere, and ultimately chose Cockrell & McIntosh for their location and overwhelming good reviews. We finally went and I am SO GLAD I asked! We got in to see Kirby-Diaz and she was wonderful! Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!

Hi R.,
I just wanted to share with you that I go to Cockrell & McIntosh in Blue Springs In St. Mary's Medical Building and I see Stacey Sharpe or Michelle Roach. I like the both of them very much because they are so very personal with you and very friendly. They also will have an answer for you on any question that you ask and if they don't have one they will find out and either call you or have one of the nurses call you back with the answers. And I do believe that they take Blue Care but you could call and find out for sure.
Hope this gives you the information that you need and were looking for. If you have any other questions
please feel free to email me back.

Hi, I take my kids to Dr. Michelle McIntosh at Cokerell and McIntosh they have an office at St. Mary's medical building, and on Winner road in Indep. I saw Dr. McIntosh when I was a child, which is why I took my kids to her. She remembers me, my brother, my family etc... and it's been YEARS since I've seen her! You'd have to call about the insurance though. The other Dr's at both offices are good as well. When you call to make appointments, just make sure to specify which Dr. you want to see everytime. Good Luck!
###-###-#### is the Independence number as Dr. McIntosh is there more, so we go to that location. Good Luck!

My three kids go to Lee's Summit Physicians Pediatric group. There are a variety of pediatricians and they are all a little different so you can find one that fits our style of medicine. I will say Dr. Jennifer Sauer is our favorite hands down. She is very personable, extremely knowledgeable, and takes time to talk to the parent to get all of the information before giving a diagnosis. She makes us feel a part of the solution, not just a uninformed parent. They also have daily urgent care hours when you really need to get your child in ASAP. The main office is located at 1425 NW Blue Pkwy in Lees Summit, MO, the phone is ###-###-####, and the website is www.lsphysicians.com. Kids are a great blessing, enjoy your son and good luck!

I know that you said you wanted a doc in the Blue Springs area. As a last resort my child's peds is located at St. Joseph Hospital off of 435 and Wornall. She is absolutely wonderful. Her name is Dr. Cullens and she is the only one. She runs her own practice. Her number is ###-###-####. Thanks.

We have an awesome family practitioner...Dr. Gregory Markway...he's in Independence...off of 24 highway. He's wonderful. He takes his time with you and answers all your questions and is very endearing with children. My daughter (7) loves him.
