I am needing referalls for a great pediatrician that will sit there and listen to what I have to say.

West Atl Peds. 770-505-3162

We love them. Dallas hwy near hwy 92 area.

I also recommend Dr Sisk-
3600 Dallas Hwy SW #290 Marietta, GA 30064
(770) 514-8986

(across from Avenues)



We used him many years ago and switch due to insurance change. They did not accept cigna at that time.

We went to many doctors later and could not find anyone we liked and we then went to West Atl Peds and liked them equally as well.

[Just thinkin' hard]

We are with Dr. Daniel Saade. LOVE HIM. He sits and chats and figures out what is going on. He's open to you bringing in new ideas. He even puts up with my snotty child's attitude about Dr. Saade's favorite soccer team. Very blessed to have found him.

If your on the South side of Paulding, Creekside Pediatrics in Douglasville are awesome!!!

[petshopboys]

I go all the way to Austell, beside Cobb Hospital. Pediatric and Adolescent Center of Cobb. I have found all of the providers are very patient and listen and are very big believers in mothers instinct and want to hear how the mom feels about the situation. I personally love Dr. Laurel Kohn. You can find their credentials if you google the practice.

Could not agree more!
Dr. Carter is AWESOME!!!!!

[graciegirl]

We use Cobb Pediatrics and I could not be happier! If we have to call the nurses for any issues or the oncall line, if you send you call over to them they always call once the office is open or the next day if Ive called the nurses in the office to check in on the kids!! That means alot to me!!

We have been with this practice for 5+ years and have been very happy. We have seen everyone and have no complaints about any one.
I can see how someone would think Dr. Carter is not very friendly, but I think he is great. He is very thorough, and takes the time
to listen.

I love Dr Beckford too!!!

Her hubby is also my obgyn but goes by a different name

Her hubby delivered my daughter almost 18 years ago and she was extremely sick and asked if he could bring his wife in ... Her and Dr. Filco ( she isnt there any more) saved my baby.

They are sooo personable and I loooove her accent

I know, her accent is awesome. Love, love, talking with her. She, and I are on the same page with vaccines. She even makes my DS feel comfortable. He is 12 going on 30 (not really) but he doesn't mind seeing her. I will be sad when he decides he is to manly to see a female kids Dr.

We have been going with dr.carter office for the past 14 years, I used to not like him, because of how he was, but after so many years I guess I got used to him. He laughs more with us now, guess you just got to get use to him...lol!! But Dr. Young is AWESOME!!! My daughter used to not do good with male doctors, something bad happen with another male when she was 3, and still to this day she dont do good with male doctors. She would and have punched a Dr. But when Dr. Young started working with her, he worked with her and her own pace. He has made her so comfortable and relaxed, she loves going to him, and she is 13 now. HE is the only dr. she see there, I love the way he talks to us, he is funny, he dont play those silly games, he tells you how it is, and I like that. And he is a friendly guy. He helped us when my son was 6 and had chest pains, Dr. Young call my house and talked to me, told me to bring him in that sunday morning. Never charged me or anything, he cares for the kids, and that showed right there. With all 3 of my kids, he has showed nothing but love and care for them. When my son got into a bad bike accident, Dr. Young and his staff a had such a hard time with what they saw, the hospital dr. put stiches in my sons head over his eyes, and didnt clean it before, so it got very badly infected. IT was so hard for Dr. Young to get them out, he was almost at tear because it felt so bad for my son, the staff were even teared also. It was a such a hard time for my son and us, but Dr. Young was awesome and helped us with everything. As you can see I have NOTHING at all bad to say about Dr.Young!!! He is a great person and a wonderful Doctor!!!!

I hate when I go to take my girls to a dr and they over talk you when yo try to explain what is going on. I have a daughter that has ADHD and GI problems so we have our hands full with her and I just wanted a GREAT dr and the way everybody talks Dr Carter and Dr Young are the perfect drs for us

After going to Dr Sisk and we had to switch due to ins change. I was so disappointed with so many doctors. It was so hard for me to find one we liked. We go here now and love it. We have been here now for 8 years. They always fit us in if the kids get sick, always return my calls, and their staff is great.

I see whoever bc I like them all, but when they say would you like to see Chad it is a fast yes lol My kids love him. He is so great with them. That is actually who all my friends see too. I never have a visit without laughing.


They are all great no matter who you go with there.

Great. I'm glad that I didn't go with the wrong dr. I was probably about to make a huge mistake. Thanks to all you I made the right choice.

We go there as well. We go all the way to South Cobb Drive for Dr. Avril P. Beckford. She is amazing. She makes you feel like you are part of her family and she really cares..

My daughter is 19 and still see's her.

[NEBgirl]

We called the emergency line on a Sunday am our 5 month old wasnt keeping anything down it's first and I was so scared and sad for her I started crying and the on call nurse called me back that evening just to see how the both of is we're doing! And Dr Young is hilarious always making us laugh and he discharged us 24 hours after she was born :-) I don't think you'll be disappointed

I worked at Cobb Hospital when we were expecting our first. When you work in the medical field you are privy to a lot more info than the general public. We chose Dr. Sisk, 26 years ago, and have used him ever since. Mine are 26, 16 and 11. When our ins changed I was terrified I would have to start searching. Thankfully Dr. Sisks applied to become a provider on the new ins. We had to wait 30 days before we could visit on our ins but SOOO worth it! WE LOVE HIM and the ladies. My sister, her sister in law, one of her best friends, my former sister in law, and one of my dearest friends all use or have used their practice. Trust and confidence in your childs doctor is priceless and thanks to these guys, thats one worry I have never had!!!

Yes her hubby is Dr. Lawrence Rowley with South Cobb OBGYN.. He delivered my 15 year old he is amazing. They are both just wonderful people. I drive 1 hour one way just to take my daughter to Dr. Avrial P. Beckford. You can get into see them for sick days the day you call. I have never been so happy with any group ever.

We went through a few doctor's when my first was born. Our first pediatric Dr. almost killed my 19 year old, when she was 18 months old. When my 15 year old was born I asked Dr. Rowley if he knew of any good pediatric doctors. He told us about his wife. We fell in love with her on April 29th.. My kids have never seen any other group of Pediatricians.

When we went to see Dr Beckford my 19 year old took her boyfriend to meet her. She told my 19 year old that when she got married (pointed to herself) and said, this MAMA better get a invite. She is wonderful. She also works with s diabetes association and several other disability groups.
