New Doctor + Shots = Love

Today I took all four kids to the doctors for their annual check ups. Never mind that they are all born in different season, at least they went right?! They were all prepared to get shots today, but only Tyler and Lexi got the flu shot and Lexi also got two others.
If you remember last year we had such a terrible experience that I had to find a new doctor, which is the biggest reason for the long wait. My friend, Tiffany recommended this office to me and I've been taking my kids there for sick appointments, but hadn't yet changed them over to a primary care physician. Today was the day and it went great.
1st, they took all my kids for the same appointment instead of making me break it up into two.
2nd, they had a nurse for each kid to check their weight, vision, height and such
3rd, the doctor was fabulous. She was quick and caring. I felt like she had time for me and she genuinely wanted to know any concerns for each child. I often would remember something in the middle of telling her another thing and she was very patient and wrote down all I had to inform her of.
We LOVE Dr. Pete, but because we can't go to him anymore I'm so glad we've found someone who will take care of us closely enough to what he has spoiled us with. Thanks Tiffany, you're a life saver!

You are lucky! I had a great Pedi Dr up until the last 2 years and now we live at urgent care for sick appts, go to our same dr office for well checks only for baby and Chach and still hunting for a PCP - never you mind also that Litia is 18 months...

Love that you found a great one!!

Finding a good doctor is soooo hard! I haven't been for an GYN appointment in about 2 years....not good! I tried a new OB/GYN after my fall out with my Midwife....and wasn't very impressed....maybe I should try yourse....but then I might see my Midwife....plus I don't think their practice takes my insurance any more....rrrrrrrrgh!

Glad you found a good Pediatrician and all went well at their appointments!
