Our Doctors
Most families pick one of us and stay. If your doctor is booked on a sick day, one of the others sees you, with your chart open.

Dr. Anita Shah, MD
Monday to Friday
Dr. Shah trained in family medicine at a Dallas residency program and joined Cedar Ridge in 2012. She does most of our newborn checks and well child visits, and a lot of the moms bring their own checkups to her too. Speaks English and Hindi.
Sees Newborns and Up -
Dr. Marcus Bell, DO
Monday to Thursday, Saturday mornings
Dr. Bell opened Cedar Ridge in 2004. He sees school-age kids, teens and adults, does most of our sports physicals in July, and looks after a lot of patients with diabetes and high blood pressure. He takes the Saturday sick visit mornings.
Sees Ages 5 and Up -
Lauren Ortiz, NP-C
Monday to Friday
Lauren is a board certified family nurse practitioner. She sees most of our same-day sick visits, so she is often the one you meet on a fever morning. She also does well child visits and women's health checkups. Speaks English and Spanish.
Sees Newborns and Up
If Your Doctor Is Out
Your chart is the same for all three of us. When Dr. Shah is booked on a fever morning, Lauren sees your child, reads the last visit's notes and sends Dr. Shah a message after. You don't start over.
To switch doctors inside the practice, ask the front desk. There is no form.
Pick a doctor when you request a visit, or let us choose the first one open.
