There is no single answer — the best pediatrician for your family depends on location, insurance, language and how the practice runs day to day. Rather than ranking practices, check six things: where the physician trained, whether they are taking new patients, whether they take your plan, whether same-day sick visits are available, whether staff speak your language, and how far you will actually be driving. The comparison table above sets out this practice's answers to all six.

Yes. Dr. Rozalyn A. Paschal-Thomas, MD is a woman and is accepting new patients in Miami. Every physician who has led this practice since 1953 has been a Black woman — Dr. Dazelle Dean Simpson, Dr. Rozalyn H. Paschal, and now Dr. Paschal-Thomas. See the Black-owned pediatric practice in Miami page.

Yes. Florida Medicaid and most major commercial insurance are accepted, plus cash, debit and credit card. Staff verify your specific plan before the first visit. No one is denied access to services due to inability to pay. See pediatricians near me that accept Medicaid and Medicaid pediatric care in Miami, North Miami Beach and Plantation.

Birth through age 21 — from the first newborn visit three to five days after hospital discharge, through annual pediatric physical exams and school physicals near me, to confidential adolescent visits for teenagers and college students.

No. Pediatric primary care does not require a referral. You call the office directly and register your child. A referral is only needed when the pediatrician sends your child to a subspecialist, and she arranges that herself.

Her daughter, Dr. Rozalyn A. Paschal-Thomas, MD, joined in July 2009 and is the pediatrician treating patients today. Some medical directories merge the two records because the names are so similar.

Established patients who call in the morning can usually be seen the same day during office hours. Slots are limited, so call early. When no in-person slot is open, pediatric telemedicine is often available the same day. This is a primary care office, not an urgent care; outside office hours use a pediatric urgent care centre or call your plan's nurse line, and for anything serious call 911.

Paschal joined in 1977 and purchased the practice in 1995; her daughter Dr. Paschal-Thomas leads it today. More than seventy years, three physicians, one city.
