My best all-around starting point is Pensacola Pediatrics—especially if you want an established independent practice with several local offices and a Saturday-morning sick-visit option at its Cordova location. Its site currently says Dr. Diana Jaalouk and Dr. Michelle Grier-Hall are accepting new patients.

My pick: Pensacola Pediatrics

• Cordova: 4951 Grande Drive, Pensacola, FL 32504
  (850) 473-0100 · pensacolapediatrics.com
  Hours listed: Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; Saturday 8 a.m.–noon for sick appointments
• Other convenient offices include Airport, Scenic Hills/Nine Mile, Milton, Pace, Navarre, and Tiger Point. Their locations page has the direct number and hours for each.
• Good fit if you want a traditional pediatric practice from newborn through teen years, routine well visits/vaccines, chronic-condition care, and easier access to multiple office locations.

Other strong options

5190 Bayou Blvd., Suite 7, Pensacola, FL 32503 · (850) 746-1800
Practice details and appointments
This is my pick if your child has—or you’re concerned they may need—specialty care, therapy, behavioral/mental-health support, or hospital-connected services. The office is connected with Studer Family Children’s Hospital specialists.

Children’s Clinic of Pensacola
909 Garden Gate Circle, Pensacola, FL 32504 · (850) 477-5475
childrensclinicpensacola.com
A smaller-practice-feeling option that advertises well and sick visits, school/sports physicals, vaccines, and flu shots. The clinic says it accepts nearly all commercial plans and most Medicaid plans—though it specifically notes exceptions, so confirm your exact plan before booking. Listed hours: Mon–Thu 7:45 a.m.–5 p.m. (lunch noon–1 p.m.), Fri 7:45 a.m.–noon.

Quick newcomer tip: Before transferring records, call the office with your child’s insurance card in hand and ask: “Are you taking new patients with this exact plan, and can you request records from our prior pediatrician?” Also ask their after-hours nurse-line and same-day sick-visit process—those matter more than a glossy website when your child wakes up with a fever.
