I am so happy to announce that Shores Pediatrics recently had its Grand Opening in Miami Shores! Dr. Laura Fernandez-Ortiz re-opened her office on February 2nd, 2009 at 9715 NE 2nd Avenue in downtown Miami Shores and her new phone number is 305.757.8040 – there is plenty of free parking in the back of the building and we now have a local Miami Shores Pediatrician that is not only trustworthy and experienced, but also accessible and convenient….. don’t know about you, but I’ve been waiting for this for years.
So what makes Dr. Laura different than the other pediatricians? and why am I such an advocate for her?
Easy….. she’s one of us! Not only does she have children of her own, she’s involved in the community and you can bump into her at school, Publix or the fields at any given time. It’s so great to see the “human” side to your doctor, the one you entrust your children’s health to. Dr. Laura will treat your child like it was one of her own and she will give you the time you need to understand any health concerns or questions you may have. Dr. Laura is down to earth and approachable and you can’t beat that in a doctor.
Here’s what Shores Pediatric’s website says about Dr. Laura:

The office is magnificent and your child should feel right at home. From the moment you walk in, friendly murals and a circus ticket counter welcomes you and there are themed patient rooms for every child’s taste.
Here’s what a patient, Lorraine Nowakowski, has to say about Dr. Laura Fernandez-Ortiz and Shores Pediatrics’ Grand Opening in Miami Shores:
Dr. Fernandez is a great physician in the sense of her medical expertise combined with her love of children – add to that her compassion and empathy and you have an outstanding pediatrician. She is always available and has an open door policy and visiting her office is always a pleasant experience, one that I have never felt in any other doctor’s office.
