Let me preface by saying I've only had one visit and it was for my 5 year old, this may be long but I hope it helps anyone that is in a similar situation.
I switched both my children to this pediatrician after the lack of care I received at our previous office. It's a night and day difference. Let me tell you what we dealt with BEFORE we made the change to Blue Fish Pediatrics, it's a LONG list. Long wait times in the waiting room, and exam room (45+ minutes) Different pediatricians every visit even when I requested the same one. I was constantly invalidated. I never felt heard, I always felt judged for asking questions, there was always a condescending tone as if I was stupid. Whenever we would see the actual pediatrician, we only saw them for about 3 minutes and they quickly moved on before we had a chance to speak. It was so rushed. So, long wait times and no actual interaction with the person who is taking care of my children's medical needs.
If any of this resonates with you, PLEASE switch your children to Blue Fish.
I cannot BEGIN to tell you how wonderful I felt after my son's visit. First off, the nurses were very kind and everything was organized from the start. They were all super friendly at the front desk and whenever I called to make the switch! They nicely answered all my questions about the all paperwork that was needed.
Moving on to his actual appointment, I felt heard and I felt so comfortable. My questions were answered fully without any condescending or judge-y tone. We waited maybe less than 5 minutes in the waiting room, and about 2 minutes in the exam room before the actual pediatrician, Dr. Townsend came in. He was so thorough and I'm sure it was about a good 15-20 minute full on exam for my son. (Longer than any wellness visit he's ever had). I did not feel rushed, I asked a ton of questions that I probably didn't need to because he covered everything. I ESPECIALLY loved that he asked my 5 year old for consent to check him. My only regret was not switching my children to this place sooner. Everything was so clean and sanitized. My child was so happy, he said he wanted to go back so the doctor can check for the birds in his ears (their otoscope plays birds sounds I think, whenever they check their ears, it tweets!) He's never said that about any doctor's office. They genuinely seem to care about what they do, and it definitely shows. I would recommend this place to ANYONE with a child. Seriously, the best! read more
