Sacred Heart Medical Group, just over the county line in Destin has recently brought a pediatrician on staff. We've all been seeing Dr. Willis there and have been very pleased, but I plan to switch my younger child to Dr. FitzHarris next time he needs to see a Doctor. The phone # at Sacred Heart is (850) 837-0032.

Good luck!

Dr FitzHarris 850-837-0032 - the new ped in town at sacred heart medical group. My doctor is at this facility - it's a very good place.

we use Dr. Paul Allen at White Wilson Medical Center, Airport Road, Destin for a pediatrician. he is wonderful!

My son has been to Dr. Fitzharris at Sacred Heart and she seems extremely nice and attentive-she actually called me the next day after our appt. for a follow up call. I have previously been going to Dr. Sprenkle at White Wilson in Destin and she has always been very good, although I live in SRB and wanted a closer pediatrician. Many of my friends see Dr. Allen and like him alot. Good Luck!

It is so nice to hear that we have pediatricians and other doctors in Destin and even as close as Sacred Heart Emerald Coast now. When my son was little - 10 years ago - our closest options were Fort Walton, Niceville, and for a short time due to insurance, Crestview. Way too far with a sick little one!

Dr Bawa is more than happy to handle bread-and-butter peds issues. There is a hot rumor that another pediatric provider may be coming to SOWAL soon...:cool:

I heard someone got a whiff of something that they thought must have been a pediatrician in the Point Washington forest recently. The only real evidence was a very large footprint, though.

Oh SKUNKY! You'd make me so happy if you and Mrs. Skunk would live there permanently! Then I could hang out and drink beers with the Mrs. while you entertain my kids!:floor:

Don't you guys (the rest of the SOWALLERS) think that 30-A needs a pediatrician like Skunk?????????? Let's start a petition to convince him!

Don't know too much about you skunk, but I'd love to have someone who lives here treat my kids- I've been driving 3 1/2 hrs. for my old ped. There's definitly a real need!!! By the way, I painted the walls in his office... it was a real hit!!! You've got to keep them busy while you're waiting!!! (ants, bugs, animals...etc)

Now... about that tatoo removal part... I hope you're out of luck on that one!!!
