About Rowlett's Lake Ray Hubbard

Snow Owl Spotted in Rowlett, Lake Ray Hubbard TX

Samantha Smith, d+b Real Estate Lake Ray Hubbard Realtor : Real Estate Agent in Rowlett, TX

Now I’m no Bird Watcher or expert in the subject of Birds, but I do know that having a SNOW OWL in Texas is a crazy thing!

Well just a few days ago, a SNOW OWL , was spotted hanging out at the Robertson Park in Rowlett, on the banks of the beautiful Lake Ray Hubbard!

It’s my understanding that SNOW OWLS are hardly ever seen south of the Arctic Circle in Canada, and is actually the 6th Time a SNOW OWL has been spotted here in the state! Because of this, it’s easy to understand why so many people are making the tract out to Lake Ray Hubbard, just off I-30, to see this amazing bird!

Below is a clip from the local Fox News …

Lake Ray Hubbard Business Spot Light ~ Lake Pointe Pediatrics, Rowlett TX

Samantha Smith, d+b Real Estate Lake Ray Hubbard Realtor : Real Estate Agent in Rowlett, TX

When moving with children to a new city, 1 of the most important things that you need to find is a PEDIATRICIAN! This is something that is best taken care of before actually needing  one.

 

If you are in the Lake Ray Hubbard area or are thinking of moving to Rowlett, Rockwall or Fate TX, allow me to give you a recommendation for an amazing group of Pediatricians that I use PERSONALLY. Lake Pointe Pediatrics, 6900 Scenic Drive #103, Rowlett, is made up of Dr Pamela Wieland, M.D, F.A.A.P, Dr Dynal London, M.D, F.A.A.P, & Frank Zucconi, CPNP. Not only are they knoweldgable pediatricians but they are also parents and understand the importance of personal care & educating the parents as best as possible.

 Lake Pointe Pediatrics, Rowlett TX

My son sees Dr Wieland but when she's not available, he's also been seen by Dr London & Frank. They all take such care in making sure that all of my questions have been answered & never rush us out the door! I don't think I've ever met a physician or physician's assistant so thorough & so caring as the ones at Lake Pointe Pediatrics! Along with the amazing 2 Dr's & Physicians Assistant, all the Nurses and Auxillary staff are extreamly friendly and go above & beyond...not to mention they have plenty of stickers and suckers to hand out!

 

In addition to the outstanding care & attention, Lake Pointe Pediatrics is incredibly flexible and always finds an opening! It's so great that I am able to take my lil'dude in to see someone when he's sick and not have to wait 2-3 days or have to take him to an Ugent Clinic. Not only do they have EXTENDED Office Hours (Mon-Thurs 8:30a-7p / Fri 8:30-5) but they are also open Saturday mornings during the school year! 

If by some chance your child needs to go to a Hospital, Lake Pointe Pediatrics is affiliated with the following: Lake Pointe Medical Center of Rowlett (6800 Scenic Dr, Rowlett), Presbyterian Hospital of Rockwall (3150 E. Farm to Market Rd 3097, Rockwall), & Childrens Medical Center of Dallas (1935 Medical District Dr, Dallas).

To learn more about Lake Pointe Pediatrics & to schedule a Tour to Meet the Dr's & Staff, contact them at 972-412-1034, and tell'em Samantha Smith sent you ;)
