We just recently relocated to the Saginaw area from Georgia and I am looking for a family doctor, a pediatrician and a dentist in the area. I like someone who takes their time when you see them and doesnt rush you in and out. And for a pediatrician, I need an office that can get me in at the last minute since my 4 yr old tends to run a high fever when she gets sick and don't like to take the chance.

If anyone has any favorites they would like to share, I would greatly appreciate it.

What can I do next?

I live in Saginaw, but unfortunatly my kids see a Dr. in Arlington. However I do use a great Dentist on Boat Club Rd. I see Dr. Hammond, he is on the East side of Boat Club as you are heading to Lake Worth. He has a White sign in the yard.

I love Dr. Godfrey for my family doctor. I can't remember the name of his office either, but he is on Saginaw Blvd. behind Walgreens. I have a friend that also uses his office as her pediatric office, too.

Our Pediatrition is Dr. Ray Rhodes with Fort Worth Pediatrics in the Hulan area. I love him, hate the long drive. I am also looking for one closer too. We live close to Decatur. We moved from Saginaw in '07. I have just had a hard time switching due to the fact my children have a history with Dr. Rhodes. Gas prices might win out though.

Our Dentist is Lake Country Dental on Boat Club. I love them. My son is 3 and had to have a filling this last visit. It was very gut wrenching for me, but he came out smiling... I thought he was going to be scared to go back. He just thought they cleaned his teeth again.

Good luck!

Veronica,
I'm assuming you mean Saginaw, Texas? If so, I live in the Eagle Ranch area and have been in Saginaw for 25 years. Fort worth Pediatrics is great! Our doctor is Walter Halpenny but there are several doctors in his office that are great! My kids are 21, 18 and 14. They have been our pediatricians for all their lives and are superb.
Dentists in the area - I go to Monarch dental in Lake Worth and Dr. Reese is great. He's been in practice for over 30 years (had his own practice for most of those years).
If you have any questions or need more help let me know!
If you're looking for a church home my husband is the pastor of Lakeview Fellowship Church and has been for the past 21 years. You can visit us on the web at www.lakeviewfellowship.com.
Have a blessed day!

Good morning and welcome to Saginaw. I also live in this area and have switched to a new physician as well. My family and I now see Dr. Hayden Lewis at the Saginaw Family Medicine on Bailey Boswell. It is next to the Texas Salon in that little shopping strip. I am at work and don't have the number, but all I have to say is he is thorough and takes his time to understand your needs. He is great!!!!!! Good luck.

Can't help with the doctor or pediatrician, but Ballard Family Dentistry is WONDERFUL!! I hate going to the dentist still, and I probably always will, but I no longer refuse to go. I have found the majority of the staff to be pleasant and helpful. I really like them.

Welcome to the area. We have lived in the are for about 2 years now and we absolutely love it! I would highly recommend Dr. Godfrey as a family doctor. They are very punctual and detailed. He really takes his time with you and asks lots of questions! His nurse Shelly is great as well and they work really good together. I can't think of the clinic name right now but they are right behind the Walgreen's in Saginaw.

As far as a pediatrician I would recommend Dr. Elliott. My daughter has seen him for over 2 years now and we really do like him. They have other pedi's in that office so you can do your own research and choose one of your choice. He is located at the Fort Worth Pediatrics office in Fort Worth. His phone # is ###-###-####. They have always been able to get me in the same day for a sick appt! The wait is quite long most of the time but I guess it's worth it.

I don't have a dentist for our daughter yet as I also need to start looking for one. She just turned 2yrs 5mths so I guess it's about that time.

Good Luck to you!
