1 /5 chad jamian: I have waited to write this review, due to the fact our doctor was still working here. But now that this person is leaving, and we have diligently done our research, while giving them the benefit of the doubt along the way, it is time for this review and warning.
Beginning with administration.
1. To make an appointment, you need to call. You’re on hold for 10 minutes minimum. And you cannot leave a voicemail. The average time to get a call back from the nurse was about 8-9 hours, and you absolutely will miss that call, if you have anything else going on that day. Despite an optimistic outlook and fair treatment by Sharon, the front desk person, she is met with a staff that gives a general chaotic/unorganized vibe that unfortunately she gets mixed into.
2. Our experience with the nurses was not good. When coming in to give vaccines or do vitals, it was not appropriate bedside manner for children. The last time we came in for vaccines, the nurse came in abruptly, zero subtlety, and even proceeded to aggressively tear a sticker off the mirror (given to our child by the office itself), before administering the vaccine. Needless to say, it was jarring for our child and he did not even have a chance to have a tolerable time with the process.
3. The third and final point - and by far the biggest issue - is difficult to even type, as it caused my family and I such emotional distress that we will have a hard time ever trusting another medical professional.
Our doctor never had a clear idea of which vaccines our child had. She would go through her computer frantically and give a guess. Once we came home we realized the paper records she would give at the end of the visit did not match the records they had on their computer. Our child had 5 prevnar 13 vaccine records ( they only need 4) and records of vaccines he had not yet received. Even more troubling, when they switched systems, his records didn’t get properly merged so we have absolutely no idea what is in his body. When we asked to send the records over to our new office, they included records of vaccines he has not even had.
Please be cautious, always.
