I have 4 children...due to large insurance co-pays and deductables I only take my kids' in when absolutely necessary. \r
It is horrible to get a same day appt, even if you know your child has an ear infection-you can't get in same day. Your child and you are made to suffer another day. Several times I called first thing in the morning and all same day apts were taken, I was forced to go to urgent care/emergency several times because they couldn't schedule me and I wasn't going to wait another 24-48 hrs for an apt. My child even had pnemonia (sp?) at age 1yr and was throwing up and they couldn't get her in to be seen. \r
The receptions/nurses who schedule you are totally rude. You can't just call and schedule an apt, you have to wait for the nurse to call you back and schedule. Since I work full time it is difficult for me to always answer my phone and I would end up trading several phone calls in one day JUST to get an apt set-up and then to know that they were all full for the day is a nightmare. I switched several of my chilren after 1-2 years but they are the only drs who vaccinate at birth so you're sortof forced to use them...I switched my youngest at 1yr due to the problems and headaches I faced at their office. They even let a girlfriend bring in my oldest without the concent of me or her dad and she (the girlfriend) requested a chicken pox vaccine and the doctors vaccinated my child...horrible. \r
In all honesty I would give them below 1 star if I could. Don't even bother wasting your time going here...they will make you and your children suffer. There are GREAT pediatricans out there that are not assoicated with this clinic/practice.
Cons: Rude receptions, no communication, no open same-day appts
