This practice is basically a shot factory! After waiting 2 months to get an appointment for my infant, and having heard that the women (all female peds) who work at Society Hill Pediatrics were quite good, I'd expected so much better. I've taken my baby twice, but I'll be looking for a new pediatrician now. Incredibly cranky and unhelpful office staff, about two minutes with a doctor who asked almost no questions beyond which shots my baby had, then a slew of shots. We've just moved to Philly and miss our former pediatrician, who was a wonderful woman who supported breastfeeding 100% and had encouraged us to do research on immunizations/shots, ask questions, and feel free to wait on some of the vaccines. She even had two nurses to give the shots -- which cuts painful time in half for the baby! It was a nice touch... Society Hill couldn't be more different. The doctor and nurse even neglected to mention that the vaccines could cause side effects (nor did they give printed info), and then there was no nurse on duty to answer ""urgent"" questions on vaccine reactions. Very disappointing!
