Hi L.

My name is L. S and am a single mom of 22 year old triplets. Although I can't provide you with pediatrician info, I do know that Market America has great products and has a vitamin for kids called Might A Mins. It comes as a powder that you mix in water and kids love the taste. If you should want to try it you order it online from www.marketamerica.com/lizsheffield. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me an email.

My son's 6 months old and has a great Pediatrician. Her name is Aliya Asad and she's at Margate Pediatrics on Copans Road. I'm not sure which area you're in but if that close you can call them at ###-###-####.

One of the things I like is that they open on a Saturday so if you are a working mom you won't have to miss work.

What makes a great pediatrician in your eyes? Why do you need a new one? Everyone thinks theirs is the best. That is why they choose to take their kids to them. I personally think that any pediatrician that vaccinates, advocates flouride as a part of nutrition, etc. is not a pediatrician that has your child's best interest in mind. Only their pocketbooks. That is why I see a naturopath at Florida Natural Healthcare in Cooper City on Stirling Road and Nob Hill. They have a website. Be sure you educate before you neglect to vaccinate so you can be sure that your son will have the best start in life!

L. - Hands down I'd recommend Dr. Leon - NW Broward Pediatrics. He's on the corner of Atlantic and 441. He has the best way with the kids and makes you feel like family he hasn't seen in awhile. He will spend as much time as needed, never makes the appointment feel rushed or hurried, and answers questions for you that you wouldnt even ask. Try not to be put off by the run-down appearance of the office (it's in need of much updating). And it's not uncommon to wait 15 minutes past your appointment time before being called back. With these 2 things aside, if you can not judge the book by its cover and can practice a little bit of patience, I think you'll find him the keeper. I know several people that won't go anywhere else!

Dr. Khin Lwin M.D. ###-###-####
Dr. Lwin is an excellent doctor who is great with my daughter. She has a private practice( not a Dr Factory), she has one other Dr. who is just starting in her practice with her that she has looked long and hard for. Dr. Lwin is 66 and has worked by herself for a long time and is looking for some much deserved R&R. We have not met the new Dr. who is a young male with a wife and small child, he was an emergency room Dr. which makes us happy for the knowledge he will be bringing with him. They are located in Plantation off of Broward just east of University. Good Luck

Hi L....I go to Rio Vista Pediatrics; Dr. Nolan Berman, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE him. There is also a female doctor in the office named Any Relkin, but I like Dr. Berman a little better. They have Saturday appointments but only for sick kids. The address is 789 South Federal Highway, Ft Lauderdale, and the phone # is ###-###-####.

Hi L.,
I have an awesome Pediatrician. Her name is Dr.Lara. She has a small practice which is great because you are not waiting for hours and she gives your children the attention you and they deserve. She is never rushing you out of her office to take care of the next patient. While you are there you can ask as many questions as you'd like. My children love her. Her telephone number is:###-###-####.

I love Dr. Sash & Dr. Dharmappa at East/West Pediatrics in Ft. Lauderdale. Right off of Davie, East of Andrews. They are also open on Saturdays and really respect personal parenting styles/beliefs.

If not there then I have many friends that also see Dr. Berman at Rio Vista and all have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his office.

I see you got a lot of responses, so hope it helps!

I second Dr. Nolan Berman and Dr. Amy Relkin at Rio Vista. I've had Dr. Berman since my 4 yr. old was born (now I have a 4 and a 1 yr. old), and I see Relkin sometimes when they are sick. Both great doctors. For some reason the baby does better with Relkin (maybe because she's a woman).

Ok if you are stll looking.......Childrens Medical Center with 3 locations Hollywood, & 2 Pembroke Pines. They are hands down the best. I personally use Dr. Kenneth Budowsy (he listens to you and doesn't make you think you don't know anything). They have a lot of Dr.s & NP, which means if your child is REALLY SICK AND NEEDS TO BE SEEN NOW.....you will be seen, with sat & sun hours as well as late appointments during the week. I have not seen all of the Dr.'s but I have seen more than a hand full and they were all nice. The phone number is ###-###-####.

I wish you the best of luck.

Hi L.,
Depending on your travel radius, Dr.Fang-Patrick with Kiddyatrics is terrific. Her office is located in Miramar and she works at the Memorial Miramar Hospital.
1951 SW 172 Ave., Ste 410, Miramar ###-###-####. I switched to her when my daughter was only 2wks old as I was very dissatified with the previous ped.dr I chose. After picking her office randomly from a list of drs, I was very impressed by her receptionist and the info given to me(the warmth & care), and meeting Dr.Fang-Patrick and the warmth & compassion & knowledge that came accross was just what I was looking for, My daughter is now 17mths old, and my grandson(14mths)areboth happy clients.
Good Luck,
D.
PS- I lived in Boca Raton yrs ago, and Boca Pediatric Group is excellent as well!

Coral Square Pediatrics by the coral square mall in coral springs. My son sees Dr. Cheresnik. I love him. He's a great doc, he takes the time to answer all your questions. He's also been a doc for a while, a friend of mine went to him her whole childhood, and she loved him. He's very laid back, which I like, and my son has always loved him. There's another doctor in there too, Dr. Liang. She's very good too, very thorough. They also have a nurse practitioner, but my son doesn't like her. Good luck!
