WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING:
Dentists
Children’s Dental Center of Rome on Riverbend Dr is amazing. My kids have always felt 100% comfortable and it is so cute inside – murals everywhere, a great waiting room with a saltwater fish tank, video games, and a play house with movies. They also have TVs above the exam chairs so the kids can watch movies and keep still while they get their teeth cleaned.
Padilla. Dr. Freddy has made my children LOVE going to the dentist!
Dr Freddy is an amazing dentist but it’s extremely difficult to get an appointment because he stays booked.
Melissa Davis Rix/ Wheldon
Rix Pediatric Dentistry- great with kids
Dr. Rix/Weldon. It’s a kid-friendly/fun environment and they truly know what they’re doing with kids! Clean, great atmosphere.
Dr. Freddy Padilla! He is wonderful with my child!
Children’s Dental Center PC of Rome and Harbin Clinic, always understanding and willing to listen.
My son used to see Dr. Freddy for dental care and I highly recommend him. However, we had trouble getting the Monday appointments that we need, so I now take my 8 year old to Dr. Rick Muller who has been my dentist for many years. I trust him and like him. My son sees Dr. Bennett for orthodontic care and we have been very pleased with him and his staff in the 6 months that we have been going there.
Children’s Dental Center PC of Rome. They don’t allow parents to go back.
Padilla-dentist Awesome doctor, great with kids but dislike his front desk office staff.
Dr. Padilla is our dentist and he is fabulous and so great with our kiddos! You just get assigned appts is the only negative for his office.
Dr. Kanaak – Dentist
Dr Freddy Padilla is the very best dentist. Kids love him and he shows it right back to them
Children’s Dentistry of Rome. Great with kids
Dr Freddie Padillia/ Dentist
We see Dr. Freddy Padilla for dentistry and he’s WONDERFUL!
Children’s Dental Center of Rome PC and Dr Murphy. We’ve had so-so experiences. My kids don’t mind going, but I’ve been back charged TWICE, meaning I pay what I’m supposed to when I’m there, and a month later, I get a bill saying I owe more because the insurance didn’t pay as much as the office estimated. This is on routine things, and I have a common insurance company (BCBS). I’m done with them.
Dr Mark Fisher, DDS
Dr. Fisher, His hands are big and sometimes he doesn’t realize just how tiny mouths are.
Pediatricians
Todd Kelley & Leigh Weldon
Dr Bethany Jackson. So awesome.
We LOVE Dr. Washington for our pediatrician – thankfully we don’t have to go often but she’s great!
We love Dr.Kelley at Harbin Peds. His NPs are great as well.
Dr Melissa Davis. She’s very accessible & available but doesn’t seem to listen to my concerns sometimes.
Miniyar. Quick and to the point
Sylvia Washington- amazing, kind, listens, takes all concerns seriously
Dr Washington. She’s nice, small practice
Dr. Melissa Davis. Such a great practice, all great staff, have been very thorough and our kids love the doctor and nurse practitioners (Sarah Congdon is especially excellent!)
Todd Kelley, but they see NP Heather. Love her.
Still use Cartersville Pediatrics – loved them and the commute is not too bad.
We love Dr. Karen Timberlake! My son feels very comfortable with her and I completely trust her. I feel that she is very thorough and takes her time.
Yapokhun at Harbin
Dr Kelley. I don’t like how the office claims every sickness is virus. Other than that I love the staff. Been going there since I was a kid myself.
Dr. Howard- She has great bedside manner
Todd Kelly-he gets on their level and he really cares.
Dr. Todd Kelley- AMAZING! He is thorough, caring and knowledgeable.
Cordle/Timberlake/Jackson-pediatrician Love all three physicians bc they are all females and they share the practice (awesome role models for my girls) and I can always get a solid second opinion from one of the other doctors in the practice if needed. I also love that I have female physicians for female children-so important.
Dr Jackson: pediatrician: We love her!!
Dr. Howard – GP
Imagine Pediatrics
Dr. Douglas for pediatrician- very good at what he does.
Dr Todd Kelley. Very thorough and knows what to do.
Dr. Timberlake
We love Dr Douglas with NWGA Family Practice, but ended up moving to Imagine Pediatrics because Dr. Douglas’ office is just too busy and I wait too long. Dr Paez at Imagine Peds is very personable and caring. Her office is really cute.
Other Health Providers
Dr. Howard – ENT
If your child needs Speech, PT, or OT, go to Infinity!!! Mrs. Beth and her crew are the best!!!
