We liked Dr Kanaan, but as soon as we questioned the vaccine schedule and asked to skip one of the multi dose shots, we were kicked out of the practice. Not cool. I no longer support offices with this type of policy. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Doyle. I don't know how this worked out, but in a pregnant haze I decided to pick this office since it was close to my house. When I was asked which doctor I wanted my fetus to see once she sprung forth, I said whichever one. Thank you to the receptionist who picked Dr. Doyle. She is a vegetarian doctor and fully understands my decision to raise Rowan vegan, which is an absolute blessing. How I lucked out and managed to find a vegetarian doctor I will never know. Appointments are always quick, we never wait around more than a few minutes, and for things like a bad rash, they will allow you to email in a picture instead of making you come in. She was able to diagnose a rash and suggest an OTC medicine to make it clear up quickly. The location is in a quiet neighborhood, parking is aplenty, the office is clean and new, and I couldn't be happier to be a client. read more

We love Dr. Kanaan! Being new parents we were very thorough in selecting a pediatrician. We interviewed several doctors and immediately knew Emily was the one for us. First, the office feels great. Everything is in order and the space is very calming. Keisha, the front desk manager, and Jenna, the nurse(?) are both very welcoming and easy to work with. The last reviewer took the words right out of my mouth for describing Dr. Kanaan - the baby whisperer. She has been wonderful with our son. She caught his tongue tie on our first visit helping me to understand why breast feeding was so messy with him. She answers all of our questions thoroughly and with patience. We find her to be very non-judgemental and open with sharing information. She provides her professional and personal opinions on each subject and is very easy to talk with. She respects our choices as parents and provides calm, clear guidance. Her bedside manner is simply awesome. She'll do as much of the exam as possible with you holding the baby. When the baby goes on the table she has a way of calming him down and making him so comfortable that he doesn't mind the exam at all. We've need to see two specialists - one to have his hearing retested and the other for the tongue-tie release. We were very pleased with both doctors and plan on going to the lactation consultant she's recommended if needed. We are also very pleased that the office is small with no crazy parking deck or large office building to navigate. We've heard wonderful things about Dr. Doyle from our friends that see her and have no doubt that should Dr. Kanaan not be available if an emergency arose, that Dr. Doyle would provide equally stellar care. They have a great online portal where you can easily reference notes from past visits and easily look up information. You can also quickly get in touch with them whenever you have a question. read more

This is a fantastic pediatric office. I'm glad I found it through a local Facebook mommy group. It's only been around since late 2013, but man it's popular with the local Decatur moms. My baby boy sees Emily Kanaan. It's one of the few doctor offices where the doctors wants you to call them by their first name (that's just the casual nice feel). She is awesome and answers my many many questions as a first time mom. My first few visits I had tons and tons of questions and she would just sit and patiently answer all of them. I also LOVE the patient portal where you can email questions to the doctor or office. Emily usually responds within 24 hours, which is amazing! Everyone in the office is super nice and professional. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes (it's usually closer to 5 minutes), which is rare for a doctor's office. I have nothing but love for this pediatric office. So thankful to have it closeby! Note: park behind the building near the dumpster (no joke) since that's the closest to their office entrance on the side of the building. The ramp is nice for strollers. read more

I can't say enough good things about our experience here! It's a small practice so you get a lot of personal one-on-one time with the doctor. They also have a patient portal for easy communication with staff. We feel we have made the right decision for our pediatrician. Note: they are not affiliated with any hospitals so if you are expecting, like we are, you must see the hospital pediatrician at birth and then make an appointment before you leave the hospital for your first appointment here. You can use the patient portal...super easy! We went ahead and had a "meet and greet" with everyone so they know we will be back soon with our newborn. O o 0 read more

I cannot praise Dr. Kanaan and OP enough. We've been going there for around two years, and everything about this practice is beyond what I could expect. They accept many forms of insurance. It is easy to get an appointment. Wait times are reasonable. The waiting and exam rooms are all clean, bright, and inviting. It always smells nice. The staff are all friendly and professional. There's lots of parking on-site. On top of all that, the medical staff are not only excellent at what they do, they go beyond, and insure that every patient and parent is well-taken care of and at-ease. read more

It's true that it's very hard to get in with this practice. If you are expecting a newborn, I highly recommend you put yourself on the waiting list ASAP. Even if you decide this is not the practice for you, it's good to have options. We have been seeing Dr. Doyle since 2012, a couple of years before she opened Oakhurst Pediatrics. We have also seen two other pediatrician groups in the area, one for six years and one for one year. I am admittedly picky about health care providers. I prefer to have a relationship with my provider and it's very important to me to feel heard and to feel that I am participating in health care decisions for myself and for my children. At Oakhurst, we get a very personalized experience. The physicians usually spend a lot of time with each patient, which is why they limit the number of patients they accept. (It is also possible to get in and out very quickly. How long an appointment takes usually depends on what is going on with my child and how much I need to discuss with the doctor.) Dr. Doyle has taken the time to get to know my whole family. When I bring my son, she asks how my daughters are doing. She knows my parenting style, which is very helpful when she is making recommendations or we are deciding whether to treat or further test a certain issue. She diagnosed a congenital issue in one of my children even though that child didn't start seeing her until she was almost 3 years old and our previous pediatrician had blown the issue off when I asked about it. She has always been very responsive and available after hours. We have also spoken to Dr. Kanaan after hours and had a great experience as well. The office is clean and new. The waits are very short--usually under 5 minutes, if that. I use the patient portal to ask a question every few months and always get prompt and helpful responses. You do have to schedule well visits a few months in advance, but the portal sends reminders so it's not a big deal. Our previous pediatrician at another local practice was very nice, but just "okay." She always seemed to be rushing from one patient to the next, and she didn't remember me or my family even when we had seen her 20-30 times over the years. I know that doctors are busy, but I kept thinking, what if one of my kids was sick and needed to be hospitalized? I really wanted someone I could trust to advise my family in that situation. That is what led me to seek out a new pediatrician--and as it turned out, my newborn son WAS hospitalized the week he was born. We called Dr. Doyle, and even though we were brand new to her practice, she served as an advocate and a guide for us in a difficult situation. In the years since then, I have had the opportunity to hear her discuss her patient care philosophy. She is very deliberate and she prioritizes the patient (and family) experience and the whole child's health. She gets it. It's a wonderful quality in a physician. It's no secret that Oakhurst Pediatrics is an intown favorite among parents, but I'm here to tell you that everything they say about it is true. If you can get in with Oakhurst Peds, you should! read more

Seems redundant as I'll be saying much the same as other reviewers, but a practice this exceptional deserves all the positive accolades they can get. I've often told staff here that if they choose to expand their practice to adults, I would be the first in line. They are truly unique in their level of care- present, kind, compassionate, attentive, and knowledgeable. I have never had to wait, the office is clean, bright, and fun, and the best feature, for me, is the offering of an online system allowing us to message doctors at any time. Dr. Doyle has personally responded - often within minutes to hours- to several (I'm sorry!) anxious inquiries regarding my little one, and have guided us down the difficult path of separation anxiety, sleep training, infections, and more with grace. So grateful for everyone at Oakhurst Pediatrics. read more

Dr. Kanann Is like the baby whisperer. She was so gentle and patient with my 23 month old. The office is clean and has a great lite energy to it. I am so releived that we have found a great Dr. For our little Littles. read more

Choosing Dr. Jessica Doyle as our son's pediatrician, was hands down the best decision we've made so far as parents--Granted, we've only being doing it for 7 months, and in that time probably made some questionable parenting decisions. The quality of care we receive at Oakhurst is bar none. Dr. Doyle really takes the time to hear your questions and concerns and give thoughtful answers. You can tell she really cares about all of her patients, and even the well-being of the parents :) I'm always incredulous when she calls in her personal time to check on Julian. I just can't say enough good things--The nurses, the staff, the office -- go call them now!! read more

As an Oakhurst neighbor and Mom of 3, I was thrilled when the sign for this new Pediatrics office appeared in the center square of our little Oakhurst neighborhood in Decatur. I immediately called and got some information. I have been even more pleased by the clean and modern, yet still kid-friendly office. Both practicing doctors are knowledgeable, kind, warm, gentle and humorous. All of which you want in the person looking after the health and well-being of your kids. I feel very lucky to have found this pediatric office for my little ones. If only they could also see adults. I'll admit, I'm a little jealous of my kids sometimes. Ha! read more

We have been coming to this office since our daughter was born back in 2014. I love this place! This is a small and intimate office, you get time with nurse and doctor. I never feel rushed and I don't have to wait long to see the doctor. I feel they listen to my questions and concerns and answer professionally, they answer as parents who know what you're going through. When we need to get in the office in a rush, they make accommodations for us. We have recently moved away but I have not wanted to find a new doctor so I have been taking 25mile drives to see them. I know this will end soon cuz Atlanta traffic is no fun. We will miss this office, the nurses and especially Dr. J. Doyle! read more

Fantastic practice. Its remarkably difficult to find top notch pediatrics...trust me I know. But Dr. Doyle and Dr. Kanaan are truly remarkable and have created quite a place to take your kids. It would be worth it even if you weren't right in the Oakhurst neighborhood. I highly recommend. read more

We absolutely love Oakhurst Pediatrics & Dr. Jessica Doyle. In fact, we recently moved outside the perimeter, but we keep Dr. Doyle as our pediatrician because she is so fabulous & worth the drive. As a first time mom, Dr. Doyle has always been super patient & willing to listen to any & every concern I have without judgment or annoyance. She is extremely thorough in her examinations, especially during sick visits, & has never made my husband or me feel rushed. She is very personable & kind, especially in her interactions with my son. I've also had interactions with Dr. Kanaan during after-hours phone calls, & she is also wonderful. The entire staff is very competent & friendly. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough. I love knowing my son's doctor truly knows his medical history, & he is not just a chart in a rotating practice. read more
