What is a good pediatrician in the South Mesa/Gilbert area in AZ?

Question

We're moving to the area next week and need a good recommended pediatrician for our kids. Thanks!

Answer 1

I agree with Morg...My kids had Deardorff when they were very young. We still go to the same place (Val Vista and Baseline) in Mesa, but we see Dr. Garner and Dr Carvan.

I think Dr Garner is an excellent doctor. I love that he knows my children by name, he talks with them about what they are doing in their lives, and remembers what they talked about the last time he saw them. The only problem I have, is that he has MANY patients, and is sometimes hard to see him.

Dr. Carvan (I hope I am spelling his name right), is the newest doctor in the clinic, and is very personable. I know that he cares for more than just the physical welfare of my children.

Answer 2

I live in Gilbert and I take my kids to Palo Verde Pediatrics on Val Vista between Warner and Elliot. They are pretty good there, but don't go to Dr. Deardorff. He isn't a "bad" doctor, he just has a really bad bedside manner. He's all business and not good with kids.

Answer 3

Ready??Here's a list of hospitals in the state of Arizona.
With me??

OK. Now select a hospital near where you will be. Open it. Look around and you'll probably see an area, "find a physician."
Open it, and select "pediatrics" under specialty. Open that up, and see who
s listed. Good luck, and all of you,stay healthy.

PS While you're at it,. look under Internal Medicine of Family Practice to find a doc for yourself.
