A lot of people relocating to Miami, especially Miami Shores, always ask me if I can recommend a pediatrician. Obviously, choosing a doctor is always very personal but ha
ving a doctor that is close by and responds quickly to emergencies is one of the most important factors when dealing with sick kids.
So here is my plug for an awesome Miami pediatrician and friend. Shores Pediatrics is run by Dr. Laura Fernandez-Ortiz who not only has children of her own, but is an active Miami Shores resident. You will see her at all the community events from the Christmas Lighting ceremony to Unity Day.
Dr. Laura gives her medical practice that personal touch that so many other doctors are loosing because all they think about is money. She will take her time with your children and discuss preventive medicine. She has trained under the best doctors and I trust her with my own without even blinking an eye. You can also tell a lot about the doctor by the staff they choose and you can rest assured that at Shores Pediatrics you will experience the best care possible (I’m not exaggerating), from the nursing staff to the receptionist, they know how to deal with patients and will learn your name as well as your kids’ in no time.
Her practice is temporarily located in Hollywood at 4801 Hollywood Boulevard -(which is 15 to 20 minutes away from Miami Shores).
The good news is that Shores Pediatrics will move to their permanent location in Miami Shores in November of 2008. The address will be 209 NE 95th Street, Miami Shores, FL 33138. (will be announced)
