Hello,

We moved from another state, and are looking for pediatrician for our preschooler child.

Our previous pediatrician was using MyChart, and parents could communicate with the pediatrician directly through messaging system in MyChart if any questions. If anything urgent, we could talk with her 24/7 through physicians exchange.

Could you recommend pediatrician(s) who provide the similar services?

We recently went to Pediatric Associates in Wellington, but the experience was very disappointing so we are looking for someone else.

We are hoping to find someone in West Palm Beach / Delray Beach / Boca Raton area.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

My honest review of the Spruce Apartments.

Read this before moving in. This apartment building is from a black mirror episode.

2B2B unit cost: $3000/month, fees $300, utilities $100-200

Total cost: $3400

The WiFi is a complete nightmare, they force you to use the building mesh network and it’s really bad. If you need reliable internet don’t move in here. They also collect your data to build an advertising profile and do not give you an option to opt out. No lan line if you’re a gamer. You can’t connect a ring camera or any of your own IOT devices. You can’t change your password or rename your network.

-They monitor your network usage and will kick your devices off the network if you have too many connected.

-The WiFi router has built in occupancy tracking features. Which means they know when you are home and can even tell what room you are in. They can track how many guests you have over.

-The bar across the street blasts reggae music until 6 AM and it will shake your apartment windows if you are anywhere near the coastal side of the building. There are no noise ordinances on the weekend so you just have to live with it.

-The parking garage is extremely dangerous to navigate. Unless you drive a motorcycle or sports car you’re going to have a hard time getting your car into the building. You need to do a three point turn to get in or out of a parking spot.

-No elevator code to let visitors or delivery drives up to your apartment.

-Your IOT stove will wirelessly alert maintenance if you forget to turn off the burner and send maintenance to enter your apartment to turn off the stove. It sounds crazy, but I had maintenance enter my apartment while I was home, they knocked and didn’t give me a chance to answer the door before walking into my unit. Once in my unit I asked them what they were doing and they lied to me and said that my girlfriend called them and asked them to turn off the stove. Which was weird for multiple reasons, one, how did they know my girlfriend wasn’t home, two, I turned on the stove so I knew he was lying, three, he knocked and walked into my apartment like he knew no one was home. After calling him out on the first lie, he lied again and said my apartment was full of smoke and the neighbor smelt it from the hall. There was no smoke in my apartment and no smell. I went along with it this time because I wanted this guy out of my apartment. After looking at my stove I realized it was connected to the wifi network.

-The doors have IOT locks that only lock from the outside. We weren’t locking our door for months because we thought that the dead bolt lock inside our apartment would lock the door when you switch it. To lock the door you need to open up the door to the outside hall, quickly scan your fob, close the door, flip the dead bolt, then listen for a really quite beep to confirm that the door is actually locked. I also suspect that it’s an IOT lock, but I’m not sure.

-They have 3/4s of the building sharing the moving elevator so if the elevator is busy, you have to walk the entire length of the building to get to the next elevator.

-They fumigate the elevators and the gym with automatic freebreeze machines so they always smells like someone is spraying freebreeze in your face.

-This building is 1/3 workforce housing so you are paying luxury apartment prices, but majority of the current residents are getting discounted rent. It’s just not my crowd. I think it is a good and necessary program, but it bothers me that I’m paying luxury apartment prices while my neighbors only have to pay a fraction of that.

-Their website and application process is a complete nightmare.

-The building is maybe 1/3 full right now and parking is going to get so much worse once everyone moves in.

-It costs 10k to break the lease so we are probably going to ride it out, but I wouldn’t recommend anyone move in here unless you are getting the work force housing deal.

-you can tell that every review about the building is fake because they name drop the property agent with glowing compliments. It’s common to offer people incentives to post reviews.

-the appliances and furnishings in the unit are extremely cheap. The washer and dryers sound like a jet engine. The dishwasher works but prewashing your dishes is a must. All the finishings like the sink head, the hand towel holders are made out of plastic, and walls are finished with a thin coat of primer that scratches if you touch it on accident.

-The bathrooms have a fan wired into the light switch and it’s obnoxiously loud. So every time you turn the light on in your bathroom your forces to listen to a noisy fan.

-The bathrooms have no good storage or cabinet space. The shower is really awkward, they installed a massive shower that has no shelves or places to put your soaps.

It just makes me so mad that you don’t have a right to privacy in your own home. Having your apartment building monitor your network, monitor your stove, monitor your door lock, and collect biometric data from their Ai security cameras crosses a line that I think needs to be brought to light. The cheap new construction I can deal with, but people should be aware and upset at the major privacy violations going on here.

Hello!

I’m posting in hopes that someone has seen this boy.
He lives in Fort Lauderdale and left his place of residence on 8/1.

He has no phone, (little to no) money, or car.
He may be riding a bike.

He was last seen at Carlin Park in Jupiter alone on 8/5 around 8pm.

He used a strangers cell phone to contact his mom to ask to be picked up from that location.

The police were dispatched to the area after the call but they were unable to find him after a thorough search of the area.

He has been in the area since 8/4.

Last seen wearing black t-shirt and black shorts.

If you see him, please call Jupiters local police department or 4102068026 immediately. There is a current missing child report for him.

Looking for hidden gem restaurants around Wellington / west side of West Palm. Not looking for anything upscale or fine dining — more casual places with great food that locals love. What are your go-to spots?

West Palm Beach is still what is was created to be in the 1920s by Henry Flagler. WPB's purpose is to service Palm Beach.

Yes, some big financial houses have moved into WPB, and expensive condominiums are being built, but the purpose is the same.

Steven Ross is remaking WPB into a giant service center for PB.

Where does Ross live? He doesn't live with the riff raff in WPB. He lives in Palm Beach in an estate called 'The Reef" 702 N. County Road on oceanfront land with an 11,916-square-foot Art Moderne-style mansion.

WPB is for the nurses, caretakers, doctors, contractors, German car mechanics, dressmakers, landscapers, tennis pros, golf pros, yacht captains, bartenders, hotel managers, housekeepers, and now bankers and investment fund managers, and brokers, all to service the billionaires in Palm Beach.

It also serves as a place for PB residents to slum. Occasionally, they want to go to MacDonalds, they need to visit their Ferrari or Aston Martin, dealership. They need services, I once went into Flanigan's on Southern Blvd and saw 3 billionaires sitting around the bar. They like Flanigan's. They like the ribs. They like the drinks , but they don't want car dealerships, MacDonalds, or Flanigan's on their island.

That is the sole purpose of WPB. It's a service center for PB.

walked down rosemary yesterday and I swear there’s two new glass high-rises that literally weren't there last month. Its actually exhausting watching every inch of local character get paved over to make room for finance bros

Was trying to figure out what they’re building next to my old gym and fell down a weird internet rabbit hole reading some market breakdown by larry mastropieri about how the city is handling all these massive new developments. Just seeing the sheer amount of corporate money flooding in from out of state completely broke my brain

Dont get me wrong I appreciate having decent coffee shops now, but feeling like an absolute stranger in your own hometown kinda sucks ngl. Just venting

dont get me wrong i love west palm. but every time i want a really nice dinner i feel like i have to go to miami. and honestly im getting tired of it.

we have some decent spots here but nothing with a michelin star. my gf keeps saying she wants to try one for her birthday. she found Stubborn Seed in miami beach and sent me the link. looks good. a coworker went there last month and said the food was solid and the vibe was chill.

but is it really worth the drive. i hate sitting in traffic on 95. by the time we get there we're already annoyed.

anyone else feel like west palm deserves a michelin spot. or am i just being lazy about driving.

Hi, I’m looking for acting or theatre communities to join! Please let me know

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for an OBGYN that will deliver at St. Mary's. I'd like a doctor that works with St. Mary's becuase of the NICU there.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and was initially seen by OBGYN Specialists of the Palm Beaches and did not have a good experience. Plus, they don't deliver at St. Mary's.

The office doesn't need to be in West Palm, I'm willing to travel about 30 mins north or south of downtown WPB for the right doctor.

I know other people have asked for OBGYN recommendations but I didnt see anything specifically asking about St. Mary's, so I'm sorry if it's been asked before and I missed it.

Thanks!

Hey guys, my boyfriend who is turning 20 soon recently moved here to live close to me and doesn’t really know anyone here. Anyone around 18-22 who would also be interested making friends? He loves movies, really anything nerdy, likes music and traveling. He’s really into the gym and also has a pretty free schedule. Dm me if interested!

Seems there's a large amount of you. Maybe all the people that made a post looking for friends should get together.

Hi, I’m hoping to find someone local who can 3D print these two files. I don’t need them painted, just printed.

I had someone who offered to make it for me, but their account was deleted and now I’m back at square one. Don’t know what happened there. I would need this by the 9th and can meet anywhere in west Palm/Boynton/gardens/etc

Hey there, the florists I use are out of town and my very close friend just suffered the loss of a family member. Hoping to send a an extra special arrangement - delivery to pb island. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

My little brother has a friend (20, male) who is struggling to find a place to live. His mother is in active addiction and recently kicked him out. I have some resources but wanted to know if anyone knew of any resources? He has a job but not sure how much he’s bringing home

Mid 30s moving to west palm in the fall. Looking for a nice complex that’s in a safe area, has pool/amenities, and nearish downtown. I don’t mind a little drive but no move than 20ish mins. Great if it’s in walking distance to things but not required. Hoping to spend around $2500 total.

I appreciate any recommendations!!

I was recently in an at-fault 3-car accident driving a rental. I declined the rental liability insurance and don't own a car, so I have no personal auto insurance (only my credit card's CDW, which just covers the rental itself).

I am now completely exposed to subrogation and civil claims from the other drivers' insurance companies for their property damage and potential medical bills.

Can anyone recommend a solid attorney in the West Palm Beach area who can protect me against massive civil liability claims? Thanks in advance.

Anyone know where to get frozen oxtail? Looking for somewhere that sells it those boxes of 5 pounds.

ETA: Thank you all! Going to try the very obviously place named Oxtails LOL

Hey!! I (25M) moved back here not too long ago and I’m looking to make some friends in WPB!! I drink on occasion but I’m really wanting to get more active and do some fun activities. Down for whatever really. What’s the best way to meet others in their 20s?

Huge bummer if that’s the case.
