I heard of this practice on WAYFM and liked what I heard about caring for the whole child, not just physically. So i switched from my old pediatrician and have been in the office a handful of times and was pleased. I had my license taken away for driving without insurance and can't get my children to the office before 4:30 pm because my husband works until 4pm. My 3 year old needs her immunizations and Growing kids refuses to see us at or after 4:30. I explained my circumstances but the office staff member and manager told me they are bound by an office policy and cannot help us. I thought since I heard their ad on Christian radio that they would be understanding of my situation. They were not understanding even though their website says they are open until 5pm. I take responsibility for not being able to drive, but growing kids refusing to see us during their posted business hours is a choice they are making. My child is going to suffer if she gets sick, unless I change doctors. I wish it was not this way, but my only other option is hiring a taxi to take me to the doctor. My circumstances won't be this way forever. I get my license back in March but I don't want my baby to be behind on her shots. She might get some terrible illness between now and March. The office manager told me to get someone to bring me during the day, but everyone I know works. Why can't this practice provide for my families needs? They could but are choosing not to. I have to do what is best for my family regardless of how well I like an advertisement. Sorry growing kids, this policy and your inflexible mindset has lost you a Christian family of 4 children. This policy should be re-evaluated
