Central Pediatrics

We were so bummed when we had to switch pediatric clinics because of an insurance change. With six kids, we spend a lot of time (and money!) at our doctor's office, and it's crucial that we find a friendly, competent doctor. We've been very happy with the care our children have received from the doctors at Central Pediatrics in Woodbury. We've seen just about all the doctors at one time or another, but have chosen Dr. Rhodes-Dekko as our children's primary physician. She has shown incredible care for our children, exhibiting a professional, cheerful, and cautious approach. She helped us through some scary times with our youngest when he had suck/swallow problems. She's even called our house to follow up on how kids were doing after difficult episodes. Last year she even went to bat for me, calling my OB/GYN to help me get proper care for post-partum high blood pressure. While I'd been in her office for our baby's one week check-up, she'd been concerned and thought I didn't look well. She called my OB herself and got me hooked up with the help I needed. She is care and professionalism personified! We've had good experiences with the other doctors there, too. We've been pleased with the availability of appointment times. The extended hours for walk-in care in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends are great. more

Central Peds is a wonderful clinic to take your children. Even though we have lived in Woodbury for 19 years I was very reluctant to move my children from the clinic they had always been at in St Paul. Eventually it was harder and harder to make the trek out to St Paul so I began to search for a clinic closer to home. One by one I transfered my kids over to central peds. I didn't want to transfer all of them in case I was not happy with our experience there. I was so sure no one could do as good of a job as where I had taken my children since their birth. As I quickly realized, there were very competent doc's at some place other than what we were used to. All of the Doc's we visited were very knowledgeable and went the extra mile if there was anything else that needed to be done. Thankfully they now have X-ray facilities and urgent care for evenings and weekends available right on site. We have been very happy will the service we have received at this clinic, hopefully you will too! more
