Dr. Murray has always been there to listen to me whenever I had questions or concerns.  She tried to take care of my son's refluxing problems, but it became apparent to her that he needed to be seen by a GI specialist and that was when she sent him to one.


SOUTH CAROLINA:

Myrtle Beach:

Dr. Frederick Daniels Pediatrician 

Grand Strand Pediatrics

I love Dr. Daniels! He always acts as if we're the only patients he has to see that day. Welcomes questions, thorough explanations, doesn't make me feel as if I am a worry wart or asking stupid questions. And most of all, didn't brush off my daughter's spitting up as "oh, all babies spit up". Immediately suspected reflux or pyloric stenosis and sent us off for the appropriate tests at the hospital.

San Antonio:

Dr. Scholsberg Pediatrician 

ABCD Pediatrics
2411 Thousand Oaks
San Antonio, TX 78232
     Phone: (210) 494-2223

He is a wonderful doctor. He is willing to sit and talk to you and truly listen to your concerns.  He is straight forward and honest. He is quick to send you to testing or a specialist. He has two children of his own. He is fairly new, about 5 years in practice, which keeps him from being an egomaniac and on his toes. It seems older doctors think they know it all and think parents just get paranoid. Not him. He will actually think about you when he goes home, read up on your symtoms, and call you if he thinks of anything else he should have told you or done. He truly is great. He has a friendly personality and all my kids really like him. I have a 9mth, 6 yr, 9yr, 12 yr. they all think he's nice.

He is the only doctor I have ever met that doesn't treat you like you are either brain dead or severely disabled.  He knows a lot about allergies and reflux.  He listens more to the parents than other doctors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Salt Lake City:

Dr. Barbara Chatfield Pediatric GI

50 North Medical Drive      Primary Children's Medical Ctr.  Salt Lake City, UT 84044       Phone: (801) 588-2621
