I thought I'd share my our family's experience with Blue Ridge Pediatrics-  info below.Blue Ridge Pediatrics
3124 Blue Ridge RD # 102 (near Rex)
Raleigh , North Carolina 27612
Phone: (919) 782-0021or Brier Creek Location: WakeMed Medical Plaza, Suite 104 • 919-226-0662I have two boys, and both have been seen by Blue Ridge since they were born. The pediatricians there- Dr. Louis Allen, Dr. Ellen DeFlora, Dr. Nicholas D'Avanzo, and Dr. Deepa Vijay- have all treated my sons for various childhood aliments and injuries over the years. I cannot recommend the practice more highly.  The pediatricians, nurses, and office staff set a tone that puts the child first, and make it easy to get answers and treatment. If you call them after hours, one of the pediatricians will call you back (not an answering service or a nurse, but one of YOUR doctors). They will see you on a Saturday if your kid is ill, and you call and need to come in. They will do blood tests for white cell counts, strep tests, flu tests, and other basic tests there in the office, negating the need to go to an offsite testing venue with a sick child. They will come to Rex or WakeMed when you deliver, and are supportive of nursing moms. They have a phone nurse available Monday-Friday to coordinate care if you have a referral to a specialist or need a refill. These nurses are all extremely knowledgeable and helpful.  One other benefit- the pediatricians are packed with personality. Dr. DeFlora is the practical, Birkenstock-wearing Dr. Mom.  Dr. D'Avanzo is the soothing, "it will all be OK, let's just see what happens, and I'd like to see you back..." doctor, who was probably always the smartest kid in his class. Dr. Vijay is the approachable mom- she is petite and sweet to the kids, and can practically diagnose your kid just by looking at him.  She switches into no-nonsense mode during an emergency, so don't worry about her not being tough enough.  And Dr. Allen is a character out of a novel. He is hilarious, and will spend most of the visit telling you about his kids while observing yours. He will act quickly and decisively if need be, and to great effect.  He put my baby in the hospital after one elevated white count for what turned out to be an infection that would've been serious had he not acted so fast- and my child is perfectly fine today.

I'm a big fan of this practice, and they just opened another location at the WakeMed Brier Creek medical park. I thought I'd share because they've been really good to my kids, and they are the kind of doctors who deserve to be successful. Thanks for reading.
