General Pediatrician:
Dr. Janet Nguyen
Willowbend Pediatrics
5940 Communications Parkway
Plano, Texas 75093
972-403-9355
Dr. Nguyen is young and newly out of medical school, but she knows autism
much better than many other doctors who have been in practice for awhile. We were supposed
to see a different doctor in the practice who was highly recommended, but she was on leave, so
we saw Dr. Nguyen. She was so amazing with my child who is on the spectrum as well as my
typical child that we decided to stay with her. She takes her time and is always ready with a
referral when needed. She is up-to-date on her research and is always looking to learn more in
order to benefit her patients. Also, she is willing to provide refills given by specialists from time to
time as long as she is comfortable with the medication and dosage and familiar with the treatment
plan. (We have had no issues on this as she has been willing to do that for us as needed.) The
office has Saturday appointments, short wait-times, and has always been able to see us on the
same day that we call. I've also heard great things about the others in the practice.

Dr. Samuel Foster
Allergy Immunology Asthma
Southwest Allergy & Asthma Ctr
6101 Windcom Ct Ste 400
Plano TX, 75093-7820
972-398-3500
Dr. Foster has my son's breathing issues in check for the first time in his life. He is young and
soft spoken, but after several hospital stays, we needed serious help! We are off the nebulizer
for the first time in my son's life and are now slowly scaling down his maintenance medicine as
he has not had a wheezing episode in 6 months. He was able to narrow down our issues in
the first visit and even called personally to check on how my son was responding to the new
protocol given his behavior issues with new meds in the past.

We LOVE our pediatrician - Dr Ryan McElroy is GREAT! They are really understanding and
patient. Sarah - one of the medical assistants - has a brother with Down Syndrome.
As a person with management experience - I am very impressed with how the office is run as well
- We have never been in the waiting room more that 15 minutes!!! and I did say NEVER.
Dr Smith (one of the drs) has an adult brother with Autism.
Whenever I need Medical Forms for my son to go to camp or whatever - I fax them over and they
are very responsive.
That reminds of something you might want to share with other parents - I have discovered in my
18 years of parenting - that if you want a quick fax back with any needed forms - go ahead and fill
out ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that YOU can! That way the dr just has to review very quickly
the information - give a signature and fax it on back!
