Orlando Area (Looking for DR, Hair/Eyebrows/Nails Salon, ETC Recommendations!)

FH and I recently relocated, we've found a local vet for the cats that makes us comfortable but we'd love some recommendations for the following if available.

 

OBGYN (Prefer an OBGYN to a separate OB and Gyno, but if you have one who is amazing, please share :) ).

General Doctor

Hair Salon / Eyebrow Waxing / Nail Salon

Dentist

Best Hospital for Emergencies, Best Hospital for Maternity Care

 

Thanks in Advance!

 

Re: Orlando Area (Looking for DR, Hair/Eyebrows/Nails Salon, ETC Recommendations!)

  • What specific area of Orlando? I could give you Clermont recs.
  • I am not sure what area you are in but since my recs are kind of all over I will go ahead and list them:

    OBGYN: I see Dr. Bartfield at Women's Care-OBGYN Specialist. They have offices in Oviedo, on Orange Avenue in Orlando and on Sandlake Rd.  

    General Doctor: Dr. Hirt at Winter Park Family Practice is the best general doc I have ever had. Takes a ton of time with you and is very concerned with overall health and wellbeing. He literally saved my dad's life by diagnosing a chronic condition that had been overlooked by several other docs.  

    Hair Salon / Eyebrow Waxing / Nail Salon: I go to Baldwin Nails and Spa in Baldwin Park for waxing and nails. I see Simone at the Hair Cuttery in Baldwin Park. She is great for color and cuts.  

    Dentist: I see Dr. Rachel Caldwell at Dental Excellence in Baldwin Park. 

    Best Hospital for Emergencies, Best Hospital for Maternity Care: I cannot speak to maternity care but I am highly partial to the Florida Hospital system.

  • Sorry about that, We are about three minutes from Metrowest.

    Thank you,  poppy4!

  • I'd suggest the European Wax Center for waxing, they can be pricey but they do an awesome job! You do get a deal on your first visit too.

    The best hospital for Maternity Care (from what I've heard) is the Baby Place at Winter Park: http://www.winterparkhospital.com/en/services/the-dr-p-phillips-baby-place I've heard some great things about Winnie Palmer too.

     The rest of my suggestions would be near Lake Mary, so that'd be a bit far for you.

  • imagedbkb2012:

    My recs are closer to Clermont/Winter Garden area...

     

    OBGYN (Prefer an OBGYN to a separate OB and Gyno, but if you have one who is amazing, please share :) ). South Lake OBGYN

    General Doctor Don't have one...I usually go to Urgent Care when I'm sick.

    Hair Salon / Eyebrow Waxing / Nail Salon Hair Salon: Urban Hair Lounge; Eyebrow Waxing; JC Penney Salon; Don't have one for nail salon

    Dentist: McLeod Dental 

    Best Hospital for Emergencies, Best Hospital for Maternity Care: Don't have any recs for hospitals for emergencies but I've heard great things about Winnie Palmer and Celebration Health for labor and delivery.

     

    Thanks in Advance!

     

  • I second Dr. Bartfield at Women's Care-OBGYN Specialist.  He delivered by daughter at Winnie Palmer.  I also loved Winnie Palmer.  I'm over near Oviedo so I won't be able to help with the others...
  • Thank you all. :) We are settling in well and really enjoying our new home.
  • Welcome to Orlando! For hair and nails, if you get on the 417, it will take you right to Oviedo, where I am a hairstylist at the salon Edge Salon. www.edgesalonoviedo.com. My name is Danielle, I also go by Yelle, and we also have a nail technician, Trish, who specializes in natural nails, gel polish (Shellac, I swear by it!). Check us out!

  • Thanks! I'm a slacker when it comes to hair cuts and such, but I'll definitely make an appointment when I'm due up next. :)
  • I see your from Long Island, that's where my boss (owner of the hair salon in Oviedo) and the nail technician (her sister) are from! You would definitely get along with them!

  • PS. To answer your question about maternity care hospitals, I hear that Winnie Palmer is the absolute BEST, and that Florida Hospital is the absolute WORST for general hospital care.
