We’re gathering a ton of great recommendations from local parents on the Smyrna Parent Facebook page. Unfortunately, those posts get pushed down pretty quickly. To keep all of this valuable information from disappearing, we’re going to start the “Readers Recommend” series which will live under it’s own header on the blog for easy reference and searchability.

Wellstar Pediatric and Adolescent Center – Smyrna (South Cobb Dr.)

There was a lot of love for Dr. Avril Beckford:

“She’s great!”
“Ditto on Dr. Beckford.”
“Ditto on Dr. Beckford with Wellstar”
“Dr. Beckford off South Cobb D
rive.”
“I adore Dr. Beckford and also Dr. Boekhaus at Wellstar Pediatrics.”
“Beckford! We’ve seen other docs there too, and like them all, but Beckford is awesome. They’ve always fit us in when sick same day and their after hours nurse answering service is a lifesaver!”
“Dr. Avril Beckford with Wellstar Pediatrics and Adolescent Center. She is THE BEST! Honestly, every doctor that we have seen in that group has been great!”

And some general support:

“I have nothing but positive things to say about Wellstar Pediatrics on South Cobb.”
“We have had a GREAT experience with all Dr.s and staff at Wellstar Pediatric and Adolescent center on S Cobb!”

“We go to Kennesaw Pediatrics too and love them. Well worth the drive. And some of the Drs. there are great for families who are interested in more natural alternatives, delayed (or denied) vaccines, etc.”

A New Orleans girl turned Georgia peach and stay at home mom to 2 daughters. Before taking the leap into full time mothering, I worked at at an Atlanta-based advertising agency. I have lived in Smyrna for almost 10 years and am still not sure how I managed to find a job more chaotic and unpredictable than advertising.
