Looking for a Pediatrician Who Has 24 Hour Advice Nurse

We use both Dr. Eric Hopkins and Dr. Andrew Kilgus (one for my son and one for my daughter) who have an office in Grapevine. They are part of the Cooks Children's network of doctors and they have an after hours urgent care line you can call where a nurse will call you back with info regarding your child's condition. They don't charge for it either. I guess it's not really an "advice" line, but any time I have a health related question and it's after hours, I call and I always get a call back.

Just this past Saturday, my 8 year old daughter had a very nasty looking bug bite we called about and the nurse had us to go the Cooks Children's Urgent Care Center in Hurst because the bite had become infected and they said it couldn't wait until Monday to be treated.

I've also called about fevers, excessive crying, rashes, colds, cuts, bruises, croup and a host of other things that have come up after the doctor's office has closed and I've always been given great information and advice each and every time.

I'm guessing all Cooks Children's pediatricians offer this service but I guess you would have to call the individual offices to be sure. The number to Dr. Hopkins and Dr. Kilgus is ###-###-####. It's a very busy office so when you go in, you often times have to wait, but I love both doctors and I love the after hours urgent care line. I don't know what I would have done without it.

Good luck!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Dr. Marianne Levine in fort Worth. UNT Health Science Center. She is always so super nice listens so remembers us everytime. (My son is sick alot) She is genuinley (sp?) concerned about him everytime. They have a 24 hour doctor line. You call and leave a message and the doctor on call will call you back i think the longest time i waited was like an hour. But it was at like 4 in the morning. I love her she is great.

We use a ped in Arlington named Randal Davidson ###-###-####. He is off of I-20 & Matlock. They have a 24 hr service that will answer and have someone get back with you...I love this doctor and the guy he works with

My pediatrician is Dr. Pierre Robert. He is out of Baylor in Grapevine. (Close to Keller) His office is right in the hospital's professional building. He is very warm and fuzzy with my 5 month old, and very calming for me. She is my first, and I was freaking over everything early on! He has a 24 hour triage nurse line, and I have used them MANY times in her first 3 months! The triage line is $10.00 per call. (You only need to use this after hours, as the nurse at his office will answer questions during business hours. Moreover, Dr. Robert himself takes telephone call in M-F from 8:30 to 9:00am) I highly recommend the practice. His number is ###-###-####.
