I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve never had a problem getting my child onto base to see his pediatrician. Then again I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible. Dr. Tara Connor has been his pediatrician since he was born and we LOVE her. Most of my friends take their children on base for everything except for emergency care. So maybe Beth had a bad experience? My OBGYN is through Desert Bloom OBGYN (a group of 3 dr?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s, they are all amazing!, one of them is abe to be a PCM as well). Everybody is friendly and professional, and always willing to help. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve never felt pressured to have anything done that was unnecessary, even when I was being seen for chest pain at the ER/a local cardio dr. Dentists in the area can be tricky,especially with insurance, some won?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t bill your insurance, but will give you the forms to do it, while collecting everything from you up front, so be sure to ask. I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve worked in 2 offices in the Tucson area, one is a few minutes off base, Dr. Larry Wheeler (www.smilesaz.com) is great, but is not a preferred provider for UCC (your co-pays will be higher), and about 25 minutes from base is Riverside Dental, I worked there for 2 years and they are a preferred provider for UCC, everybody is highly knowledgeable, and definitely goes the extra mile for the patients. It is worth the drive. I moved 45 minutes away from them and still make the drive out, I can?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t imagine going anywhere else, the care is amazing. (riversidedental.com)

For deployed service- member spouses and dependants, the YMCA offers free membership during the deployment time. My son just turned three and he is now able to play t-ball through the youth center. My daughter does dance through the community center. I am also a member of the new MOPs group, so every other Friday, my son gets to go to ?¢‚Ǩ?ìschool?¢‚Ǩ¬ù with his new friends. CDC?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s are hard to get into, and quite pricey. Myself a previous FCC provider for my previous base, I have taken in a few kids here and there. Hourly babysitters are always needed and can be hard to find.
