Hi! We will be delivering in May. According to the books, we should begin looking for a doctor for the baby. Any recommendations? Thanks so much! (PS The baby will have Health First Ins.)
Dr Gonzalez in Merritt Island with East Coast Pediatrics is the best! My daughter had him forever until our insurance changed. He is very attentive to the child and picks up on things immediatly. He was a true Godsend.
hi L., i had all three of my babies at cape canaveral hospital, and i work there so i got to research the pediatricians through working with them before i chose. all three of my children see dr o'hern from pediatrics of brevard. all of the doctors are fantastic! i have never called to make a sick child appointment and not been able to get in. they have three offices, one in cape hospital, one in rockledge, and one in melbourne (melbourne one has sick visit saturday hours, too). they are great! holler back if you have any questions. like i said, all of the doctors with POB are fantastic! good luck!
I use Pediatrics In Brevard and i like them a lot. You can see random doctors or request a specific doctor. When you deliver, you will get whoever they have on call, but we loved the doctor who was on-call when I delivered and we continue to see her (Dr. Forcier). Actually, I was a patient there many moons ago. :)
I am assuming you mean pediatrics. We use Pediatrics in Brevard. They have quite a few doctors you can see, or you can make an appointment with a specific doctor. We try to see either Dr. Forcier or Dr. Kennedy. The staff at the Rockledge office are all wonderful, and they have a walk-in clinic in the morning. You can call and make an appointment to talk to someone there before having the baby.
Dear L.,
I have to tell you that Dr. Gonzalez at Atlantic Coast Pediatrics is the best pediatrician in the world! He will spend as much time with you as you need, he does not rush you out of the office and he really cares a lot about all of his patients. I have two special needs children and he has been wonderful with them and he always explains everything in detail to the parents. They also have a 24 hour a day 7 day a week emergency nurse beeper number, so you always have the comfort of knowing in an emergency he can be alerted. His office is located at 867 N. Courtenay Parkway, Merritt Island 32953 Phone number is ###-###-####. Good Luck to you! R. M.
