My first call would be Pensacola Pediatrics—especially if you want a well-established local practice with several locations, evening availability, and a Saturday sick-visit option at its Cordova office. They currently list Dr. Diana Jaalouk and Dr. Michelle Grier-Hall as accepting new patients. Their physicians are board-certified, and the practice covers routine care through adolescence, including developmental/learning concerns, ADHD, asthma, allergies, sports physicals, and sick visits.

• Cordova: 4951 Grande Drive, Pensacola, FL 32504 · (850) 473-0100
  Mon–Fri 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; Saturday 8 a.m.–noon for sick appointments
• Airport: 5868 Creek Station Dr., Building A, Pensacola, FL 32504 · (850) 471-5060
• Nine Mile: 9301 Beatrice Dr., Pensacola, FL 32514 · (850) 476-7555
• Pensacola Pediatrics—new-patient information and forms
  Bring your child’s insurance card, immunization record, and prior pediatric records. They accept most private plans, Tricare, and certain Florida Medicaid/Healthy Kids plans; confirm your exact plan when scheduling.

Other good options

Children’s Clinic of Pensacola — My pick if you prefer a smaller, more personal office and want clearly stated same-day sick-visit availability. The clinic says it is accepting new patients and has a doctor-on-call service for after-hours questions.

• 909 Garden Gate Circle, Pensacola, FL 32504
• (850) 477-5475 · Children’s Clinic of Pensacola
• Mon–Thu 7:45 a.m.–5 p.m. (closed noon–1 p.m.); Fri 7:45 a.m.–noon
• They list acceptance of most commercial plans and most Medicaid plans except Humana and CMS; they also say they accept Tricare Select, not Prime. Verify before booking.

Studer Family Children’s Hospital Pediatrics – Bayou — Best fit if your child has a condition likely to need pediatric specialists or you want care directly tied into Ascension Sacred Heart/Studer Family Children’s Hospital. The practice has several pediatricians listed as accepting new patients, including Dr. Jennifer Thompson, Dr. Jeneile Cordell, and Dr. Sarah Waite.

• 5190 Bayou Blvd., Suite 7, Pensacola, FL 32503
• (850) 746-1800 · Ascension/Studer Bayou Pediatrics
• Mon–Thu 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; Fri 8 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
• The direct hospital-specialist connection is its real advantage; ask for the first new-patient appointment rather than a particular physician if speed matters.

Quick local advice: choose the office you can reach easily when your child wakes up sick—Pensacola traffic and school-day logistics matter more than a tiny difference in online ratings. Call your insurer first or have the office verify coverage, then ask: “Which physician is taking new patients, what is the soonest well-child appointment, and how do your same-day sick visits and after-hours calls work?”
