Whitestone Pediatrics

When I found out I was pregnant, besides the symptoms, body changes, and figuring out how the heck am I going to raise a human being, I always stressed out about finding the right pediatrician for my son. So my fiancé suggested we go to a class where they teach you the basics about caring for your newborn. The class was conveniently held at my obgyn’s office at St. David’s North.
There we met Dr. Holmes, my first impression of him was that he was so humble and down to earth. I didn’t feel judged asking him silly questions, being a first time mommy I didn’t know a lot on how to care for an infant. But Dr. Holmes always listened and answered my questions leaving me confident like ‘hey maybe I can do this’. Anyways I never thought to ask him if he was accepting new patients or if he accepted my insurance. I just figured he wouldn’t, so I took his advice to seek a pediatrician who was board certified and whom had a sick and well side for their patients. I didn’t have much luck finding anyone who met that criteria in my network.
So finally in my ninth month of pregnancy I went on a limb and called Dr. Holmes’ office and much to my surprise they were accepting new patients and my insurance would also be accepted. My goodness what a relief. So I set up a meet and greet so that my fiancé and I could get a feel for his office and staff, all while getting a few more questions answered. And just like the first time we met him he was so kind and listened to our concerns. After an hour or so of talking with him, we left reassured that we would be great parents and happy that we finally found a great pediatrician for our son.
Once I gave birth and was recovering in the hospital, Dr. Holmes paid baby Daniel and I a visit. And while checking my baby out, Dr. Holmes picked up my son and Daniel gave him his first smile. Now naturally I was a bit jealous. But I was also happy that my son seemed to like his pediatrician.
I truly feel blessed to have found Dr. Holmes. I love how if I have a concern about my son he will schedule me in to see him, or personally call me and talk about it. And his staff is always so gentle with Daniel. I never have problems with Whitestone pediatrics. I definitely recommend him.

We are so thankful that we finally found an excellent doctor for our 9 year old. When we moved here we chose a different doctor, but they didn’t give the time needed to effectively diagnose my daughter. Dr. Holmes takes the time to listen to concerns and diagnose your child’s needs. He even called us the next day to check on her. AMAZING practice. If you don’t use this practice you are making a HUGE mistake.

Dr. Holmes is a wonderful pediatrician. We’ve been seeing him for 5 years now and are very pleased with the care we have received from him for our daughters (5 years old and 4 months old). He listens and answers our questions. I highly recommend him.

I have been advised by the P.A. Scott to put baby in their own room, shut the door, turn down the monitor and let baby cry it out so we don’t spoil our child. Sorry just because her child turned out a certain way, she throws in her advice on what we need to do so our child doesn’t. It doesn’t work for everyone and I don’t let my children cry it out, my children are calm, independent, and loving.
Was advised to supplement with formula if you must to get some sleep-​That is the worst advice to give a breastfeeding mother, it can lower your milk supply. Breastfeeding is actually easier to get back to sleep then having to get up and make a bottle.
Was concerned about babys weight, but shouldn’t compare to a formula fed baby. Doctors & p.a.‘s need to look at the whole picture. Advised us to start giving baby rice cereal. No thanks! Babies can’t process rice cereal and other grains yet. Babies have an enzyme called amylase that helps process grains and it’s not developed til after 1 yr old-​18 months. It can be the cause of food allergies and rice, even organic is loaded with arsenic, 5x more than other grains like oatmeal.
Maybe pediatricians and parents should read the following to see if there are other causes for breastfeeding baby not gaining enough.
My baby was checked by a specialist and has a lip tie and slight tongue tie, but because he is already older the specialist and I decided against the surgery since his weight was on the low– average side. Wish I knew to get this checked in my baby the first few weeks I was having problems.
On a good note, they are very nice and will spend time with you with any questions you may have. You just may not like the answers or advice given, I didn’t and am looking elsewhere!

I just felt that I should share how wonderful Dr. Scott and her staff have been! They are AMAZING! I’ve never had a doctor who took the time to sit down and talk with my child and myself about anything, as in depth as Tiffani. She is so kind and patient, and never makes you feel as though she’s in a hurry to get to the next patient. I’m truly thankful to have found her and she is a blessing to our family :-)

There are things in life that are priceless. Having a pediatrician that knows what there doing, cares and that’s not afraid to think outside the box to find a cure.#priceless #Dr.TiffaniScott

It had been some odd days and we are (unhappily, I might add) still seeing Dr. K for treatment for now instead of the lovely Mrs. Scott and her fantastic staff. There was a miscommunication that was cleared between us and I really wish our insurance company would let us change our PCP back. Her waiting rooms are very kid friendly and spacious with a «Sick» side separated. Even the rooms are awesome compared to the walk-​in closet side of Dr. K’s. I get claustrophobia every time we go there. There’s this very odd 80’s style carpet in the walls at Dr. K’s office too… it’s just a gross feeling. Versus Whitestone Pediatrics has always had a very clean feeling and comfortable atmosphere.

Tiffani is amazing! We have been with her since day one with our first daughter. Their new office has a separate «sick» waiting
room and exam rooms! She helped a ton with breastfeeding and they are always more than happy to answer your 1,000 questions! I am always able to call and get answers/​advice and have always been able to call and get in the same day when she was sick. We usually get follow up phone calls, Tiffani genuinely cares for her patients! I couldn’t have asked for a better office for my daughter to go to!

Love Dr Scott and all the people there this is by far the best drs office ever I will not take my kids anywhere else !!!

Tiffany Scott is wonderful. I took my son Jack, who is 1 year old, into Whitestone Pediatrics last week for a suspected ear infection. I was seen almost immediately, after filling out my paperwork in a kid friendly waiting area. The office was newly painted, clean, and big enough to move around and play with my son while we waited. After only a few minutes, Tiffany came in to examine Jack who was playing with toys on the (clean) floor. She sat down on the floor to examine my son who was a little weary of new people. Tiffany was gentle, really listened to me, and easily built rapport with Jack. By the end of the appointment all of my questions answered in great detail.
Tiffany has two small children of her own. Is down to Earth, kind, realistic, and takes her time with her patients. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. I even received a call two days after Jack’s appointment to check on how he was doing.
