We just moved to Philadelphia & picked this office for our kids from recommendations. Though the office itself looks nice and friendly, the doctors do seem very indifferent and robot like. There is no personal time and you are rushed through everything as if it's a toy factory. The wait time is horrendous unless your appointment is at 8.30am and the doctors come in for only a few minutes. \r

How about those shots? These nurses belong in city offices, they are so unfriendly & I have yet to see one who says something warm for a greeting. I have three children and have been to the office several times. Each time the nurses give shots or do blood-work, non of them try to sooth the children at all. They make you lay your kid flat on the surface despite asking if I can hold my infant/kids & just lunge at them as if they are squashing an ant. When they do blood-work, instead of a finger stick, they use a small razor blade type of instrument. These nurses are not nurturing, friendly nor inviting for the poor kids who have to get stabbed. They do not speak to you at all.\r

I am definitely looking for a new pediatrician's office. I would do anything to find a pediatrician who takes time for each patient and shows that they care.
Cons: Wait time, scary & unfriendly nurses
