My son was born medically fragile and I found Society Hill Pediatrics very helpful and very available during the first four years of his life. However, I found that the office staff which has change now consists of young girls through the Welfare to Work program. Yes, they are rude and not understanding. My son needs ongoing medical treatment and I cannot make anyone in that office understand that my son cannot miss school. They have afternoon appointments but claim it is only for sick patients. They have Saturday appointments but it is only for sick patients. I find that the quality of the office has change and for an office that does not take Medical Assistance you would think that the way the office is run that it is like a Welfare Office with the very rude young staff that they have.\r

I to am looking for elsewhere for my son preferably at Chestnut Hill Hospital where I understand that they have an excellent Pediatrics practice.
Pros: If you can get pass the rude people answering the phones to talk to someone - you are good.
Cons: They charge $10.00 to fill out school forms and take weeks to give them back. Plus they run the office like a Free Clinic.
