Carithers is Fantastic. They are extremely well established and I have had a great experience every time. My whole family takes their children there. They have 2 locations, one which is located off Southside Blvd across from the Tinseltown area. Hope this helps..... and don't be nervous.... mommyhood is so so fun. I just had my first in February and it just gets better and better.

Hello, My kids also see Dr. Jeremy Harris. I have a 8 year old and a 6year old. We were recommend to him from my husbands doctor. He has been great as well as the staff. We have beening seeing him since my son was 18 months old. When ever we call they are great about getting us in. They have even been great with the insurance paper work.:-) He has also given us samples of medicine when I could not get to the pharmacy before they closed for the day:-) His phone # ###-###-####. We also like it because we are not having to see a different doctor every visit. Only one doctor and great nurses:-)

We use Dr Connolly at Carithers Group. They have two offices but one is located right off Southside Blvd in Perimeter Park across from Tinseltown. We absolutely LOVE him. He answers all hundred of my silly questions every time and he is wonderful with my son. We have never had a problem getting an appointment that day for a sick visit. If he is working in the office that day, we will see him but otherwise, we see whatever doctor is there and they are all great for the most part. Our well visits are always with Dr Connolly though. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait but once the doctor sees us, I never feel rushed. The practice offers a new parent orientation which was very informative. You are not committing to the practice by going - it is open to anyone even if you choose not to go there. Here is the website - www.carithersgroup.com

I would HIGHLY recommend Scott Fauth off university blvd. He is part of Children's Medical Group. My niece was born with Turners Syndrome which is an genetic disorder that affects her height as well as a number of other things. Well my niece had Jeremy Harris and she was having frequent ear infections and was ALWAYS on antibiotics. Dr. Harris did not want to give a referral for an ENT doctor and my sister was getting VERY frustrated. She was given Dr. Fauth's name and Fauth gave her the ENT referral and my niece had tubes placed in her ears shortly after. This was over 3 years ago and my niece is doing great. Since then I had my daughter who now is 3yrs old and I have had a GREAT experience with Fauth and his staff. I live in Mandarin and I don't mind driving to university blvd. for a GRREAT doctor. Fauth Scott 4131 University Blvd. S. Bldg 16; ###-###-####. Hope this helps.

I had my daughter 6 months ago and I see Dr. Jeremy Harris he is right across the street from Memorial Hospital. I love him, he is very personable and he takes very good care of my daughter. No one in his office has been there less than 7 years. He has two nurses and together they have over 30 years of experience. He is open Mon - Fri 7:30 - 4:00pm and on Sat. 9-12. He usually sees his newborns early in the morning so they are not around sick kids. Small office with great people. His number to his office ###-###-####. He did a phone consultation with me prior to me having my daughter and answered all my questions.

Hi S.,

I really benefited from your question. I am also due in March (5) with my first child and am looking for a pediatrician. Based on the feedback you received I have contacted Carithers Group. I live in Avondale, and they have an office here as well. They also offer a new parents class the first Thursday of each month, which I'm going to attend in January. So much to do and so much to learn! I hope you are doing well and enjoying the anticipation of your child's arrival! Good luck!
