Choosing a pediatrician for your child can be a daunting task.
Which one is the best fit for our family? Do you offer same-day sick appointments? What if my baby gets sick when the office is closed? Are you certified by the American Board of Pediatrics? Are you part of a group practice? Do you take my insurance?
While we can’t answer these questions or make these decisions for you, we CAN make them a little easier. Check out this resource for local pediatricians & pediatric health services.

After Hours Pediatrics
⭐️ ABQ Mom Recommendation
Paige says, “I love the convenience of After Hours Pediatrics because you can always get in on the same day for those urgent but not emergent things: fevers, colds, ear infections, minor injuries. Oftentimes I just log into their portal and set up the appointment without even making a phone call! If you have a kiddo with a health condition (like my son’s asthma) who ends up at the doctor a lot, it’s a lifesaver.”
Brittany says, “Agreed with Paige. We have had great experiences with After Hours, specifically Doctor Berger. The convenience of later hours and weekend hours is so helpful when we needed more urgent care. Plus multiple locations helps too. Also the online portal is amazing and helps so much with scheduling or viewing results. Doctor Berger made our first-time parent experience much more relaxed. He patiently answers all our questions and has an amazing bedside manner. His nurse has also been so great with our son as well.”

Presbyterian Pediatrics in Rio Rancho on High Resort Blvd
⭐️ ABQ Mom Recommendation
Kayla says, “I love Dr. Tilly Ngo at Presbyterian High Resort. First I love that Presbyterian uses an electronic medical record system – Epic. We actually switched from a different office for this very reason. I like having access to everyone’s records digitally and I can schedule appointments and ask questions via the app. Secondly, I like Dr. Ngo because she’s very up to date on the latest research, science, and public health data. She has a very calm presence, which is wonderful because visiting the doctor can be scary! I also love that she talks to my oldest (3) and explains what’s going on.”

Optum Pediatrics Rio Rancho
⭐️ ABQ Mom Recommendation
Taylor says, “We go to Optum in Rio Rancho. Lori Myers, NP, has been my nieces’ pediatrician since they were born, and when I had my daughter, I knew exactly who I would be taking her to. She is the sweetest person, very understanding, amazing bedside manner, and always listens to any concerns we have. She is also very respectful of any boundaries or wishes you have. The other doctors at Optum are also amazing (Dr. Good and Dr. Kasemsap), and I would highly recommend the office to anyone looking for a great pediatrician for their kiddos.”
