CMG has cared for our daughter since birth which was 16 years ago. All of the practitioners she has seen have been patient, listen and spend a lot of time with us. Their flexible hours, the before care clinic and on call clinicians have been helpful whenever our daughter was sick. I highly recommend this practice for pediatric care. read more

Our children were taken care of very well here and continue to be now that they have gone into the adult practice. These doctors are like parts of our family and were invaluable during COVID. I highly recommend both the pediatric and adult practices. read more

This review is years late, so I am not sure if the doctor is still practicing. However, my experience with this medical group was horrible upon further reflection. During my son's appointment, the doctor would marvel at his body while investigating every inch of him and making comments about characteristics that the doctor attributed to race. It was almost like my son was on an auction block. read more

We love CMG and Suzannah. Started coming 6 years ago with the first one and brought the second here 2 years ago. I am usually not a fan of big medical offices as they don't feel personal. But they seem to balance somehow being huge and stay somewhat personal. We have probably seen all doctors throughout the years for sick visits and all providers are great: dr Vallarta, dr Markovic, dr Arling, dr Roche, dr Silverman, dr Finkelstein. We do try to schedule our annual appointments with Suzannah, as i prefer one specific person who remembers them from the beginning, and also she is so awesome, our family loves her. read more

We like CMG Pediatrics a lot. We have taken our two young children, both under two years old, there since birth. Among their many "pros": -Efficient front desk - efficient back office billing - ability to schedule appointments within 24 hours (many providers) - handy online app to communicate with triage nurses and doctors - low wait times (we've never waited more than 10 minutes) - willingess to vaccinate the whole family for flu and COVID, even non-patients - daily onsite COVID testing for anyone in the family - in general, an experienced and friendly set of doctors (we haven't seen all but particularly like Drs. Zaner and Markovic, and hear great things about Silverman and Arling) - onsite phlebotomy lab (next door at their adult practice) - a stellar, research-driven biweekly COVID update email sent to all patients - Moderna clinical trial participant Cons: - If calling the office right when it opens, there can be up to a 20 minute wait on the phone until the front desk answers. - The individual clinic rooms aren't designed to be kid-friendly (eg no toys or comfortable chairs) - No ability to book or change appts online; you have to call in order to do this (We belong to OneMedical, which does offer this ability). While we don't have experience with any other pediatrics practices, we have seen many doctors offices ourselves throughout our lives. We are impressed with this practice. read more

We've been patients of the pediatric practice for 15+ years and have seen the practice go through a lot of changes, but we continue to be really happy with it. They are well organized, the staff is polite, I love the MDs and NPs we've had. My husband and I recently joined the new(er) adult practice as well. I've had a couple of long waits on the phone recently, but it's very unlike them and I'm hoping it's a temporary thing due to widespread staffing shortages. read more

We take our kids to this practice and generally have good experience with them for the most part. All the doctors we have consulted with have been good and so have been most of the nurses. There are a few that are a bit rough, less patient with our kids. Making appointments has been easy too and we like the new Before Hours walk in clinic for a sick child! That itself is a reason to come to this practice. The only negative aspect of this practice is a the insanely long wait times after seeing a nurse and before the doctor arrives. This may be okay for older kids, but our kids are toddlers and keeping them entertained for that period becomes a challenge. I wish they can fix this issue! read more

If you think your kid may get sick on the weekend (they will) you will want to have a different pediatric office. Despite having a large staff, this office funnels people to the ER and urgent cares when it is inconvenient for them. They have an answering service which just directs you to the ER for triviAl things. read more

We LOVE Capitol Medical Group. Our children have been going since they were 2 days old - well over a decade. They've seen multiple doctors over the years (even as we kept up with primarily one) who have all always been wonderful, and that is a big part of the benefit of coming to this practice. We continued to come here even after moving to SE DC - they're that solid that it's worth the long drive. What I also love about them is how responsive and truly helpful they are with every little or big thing - admins, nurses and doctors alike. They can fit us in for sick visits, virtual appts, drive up vaccine clinics, and I have used their on call number more than once in the middle of the night. I found the weekly update emails sent by Dr. Finkelstein - full of statistics, context and recommendations - for at least two or more years during the height of the pandemic to be just way above and beyond, and such a comfort. Pick this practice. And no they didn't ask me to post; I just saw a couple negative yelp review previews pop up when I went to call them today and I thought, no way, and, time to share our consistently excellent experience over more than 12 years. read more

It was 8am when I called because I threw my back out. I could not get an appointment or have someone write a prescription for me until 430pm. I am in pain at 8am. This place is basically useless if you need actual same day help. This has happened before. read more

We've been going to CMG pediatrics for nine years now and my husband and I both now go to the adult practice as well. They do a great job at family medicine, offering family flu shots and COVID testing. They've kept us informed on all the rapidly changing public health news, which we've appreciated. I like that the pediatrics side includes a lactation consultant--that was huge when my kids were babies. They're a big practice so you get the benefits of that convenience--Saturday hours, someone on call 24/7, etc. I've had dozens, of not hundreds, of experiences with different providers at CMG, and the vast majority of these experiences have been great. That's hard to match in health care. read more

Avoid avoid avoid agreeing to or scheduling an appointment with Dr Natalie Silverman. She makes you wait on her for close to two hours so that she can rush through a 2min, tops 4 min appointment with you. She is just about seeing patients in volume. Zero bedside manner. Did not apologize for making us wait. A simple 'sorry it took so long' would have been the courteous thing to say. read more

We've been going here for two years, and the quality of care has consistently gotten worse -- with the exception of Holly who was a great resource whenever our baby had feeding issues. I will never make an appointment again with this group. They have reorganized their practice to serve a larger client base, and the trade off is that the nurses and doctors don't take as much time to comfort babies before they administer vaccines and tests. But, the staff internally normalize this and tell you that it is normal, when in fact they could be much more gentle if they cared to take the time, make eye contact, and talk with the baby. This last visit was the final straw. The nurse came in and poked and prodded our baby without any attempt at comforting. I understand that babies will be upset in such an environment, but nurse put in zero effort to comfort our baby. While the nurse was in the room, I asked our baby softly if she was upset about the impersonal nature of the treatment -- not that the baby understood, but I wanted to make sure the nurse understood that the human element of the care could be much better. We then met with Suzannah Stivison, and it was clear the nurse complained to her because she came in with a combative demeanor. Our baby had a runny nose for four months by that point, and developed a very bad cough on and off during this period. The cough was bad enough to keep her and us up, and she would often vomit at night. The day before the visit had been bad. We wanted the baby checked for pneumonia and a referral to a specialist to try and figure things out. Stivison dismissed these concerns and the only action taken was to prescribe an antibiotic. Her first presumption was that our baby was in daycare, and therefore she would have an easy, non-testable explanation for the fact that our baby had been sick for so long. Our baby is not in daycare, so she continued to punt on explanations. She rejected asthma as a possibility, which seems like a fine call, but she said she would not put in a referral to a specialist to help us with our bigger problem. When I pressed she said ok, but didn't actually make the referral request and said so in her notes. So, apart from checking for pneumonia (negative) and prescribing an antibiotic with little diagnostic backing, we wasted a fair amount of time and energy. Instead of using deductive techniques to help you solve your problem, the first thing off the top of the head becomes the diagnosis, and it is difficult to get a referral to someone that might be able to help you. We will not be returning to this practice. If you go here, you will get an impersonal level of basic care and not much more. For my time and money, this is certainly not worth the frustration. read more

This practice has some stellar pediatricians, however the management has gone run this practice in to the ground. Maki d a annual appointment for my 7 year old was a nightmare. I called 4 times at various times same day and gave up after being on hold for 25 minutes every time. The front desk staff doesn't seem to know what they are doing. Impossible to make online appointments on the website or their mobile app. The entire practice management is severely broken. I have been going to this practice since 2012 when Dr. Jones was the practice leader. It is heartbreaking to see such a great practice run in to the ground due management and front desk staff's incompetence. Dr. Jones must be turning in his grave to see his practice destroyed ninkapoots. read more

I would like to echo the comments of Jaunita S. When our beloved pediatrician retired, my children's medical records were transferred to Capitol Medical group. Perhaps I am a bit spoiled by the wonderful treatment we received over the last 17 years from her excellent staff. My first and LAST experience with Capitol Medical Group was appalling. I called this morning to get a copy of my sons vaccination records. I was put on hold for 10 minutes by an extremely rude receptionist. I originally thought I had been hung up on, so I called back. Before I had the opportunity to speak, I was put on hold again. After another 5 minutes of dead air, I called again. This time I was berated for hanging up and calling back. If this is the treatment families receive from the staff, I have not intention of bringing my family to Capitol Medical Group. After waiting on hold for ANOTHER five minutes, I finally spoke to a staff member who agreed to provide me with a copy of my sons immunization record. When I asked for a full copy of my children's medical records so that I could find a new doctor, I was told that I would be charged $25 per child and have to wait 7-10 business days before I could receive the copies. This seems like extortion. read more

This practice became our new practice by default when our beloved pediatrician retired and closed her practice recently. One phone call with the very unpleasant receptionist (Nicole) has me convinced that if she is the face of this group, I don't need to know more. Now I am faced with the inability to register my daughter for school because this group seems to need 30 business days (six weeks!!!) to photocopy a file for a new practice. Nor can I take the obvious alternative of getting a physical conducted by one of their doctors because they don't do that in August or September. This is not a practice that seems to have much regard for its patients. read more

Too money hungry. They charge you $25 for after hours calls, FROM NURSES! This place gives great care, but they are too hung up on nickel and dime fees, which cheapens the overall experience. Better places out there! read more

One of the million things you're supposed to do when you're pregnant is to find a pediatrician for your baby. After countless hours of research, this neurotic first-time mom picked CMG for her baby boy. Doctors -- we love Dr. Jones, the head of the practice, who always takes his time to answer all our questions. (In fact, he might not be the one for you if you're in a hurry.) We also adore Dr. Finkelstein and Dr. Wheeler, who are so sweet and patient, even with new parents like us who have no idea what we're doing. Hours -- love, love that they're open on Saturday morning. We've already had to take my 5-month-old son in on one Saturday morning, when he woke up with a fever, and they were able to see us right away. Call-backs -- when we called because my son had a fever, the nurse called us back right away. Even when we called with non-urgent questions, it's never taken more than a few hours for someone to get back to us. Wait time -- even though CMG is about 20 minutes from us, the driving time plus the wait time is still less than the over-an-hour wait times at many of the practices downtown, which are closer to us. Parking -- there are always tons of spaces in their lot, and the first hour is free with validation. Lactation consultant -- they actually have one on staff, Holly, who called me while I was still in the hospital and was very helpful when my son and I were learning how to breastfeed. (Not as intuitive as you might think!) Informational interview -- CMG doesn't charge for the tryout. (To the ones that do -- yeah, I get that the doctor's time is valuable, but so's ours!!) Rather, they host Prenatal Night on Wednesday evenings, where Dr. Jones introduces the group to new and expectant parents. Privileges -- they have privileges at Sibley, so if you deliver there, as I did, they'll be able to see your baby while you're still in the hospital. Minuses? Like any non-solo practice, there are some doctors and staff members that I don't love, but I just try to avoid them when I make our appointments. And it would be nice if they were Metro-accessible, but then again, would you want to take public transportation with a sick baby? read more

It's hard to imagine doing better than CMG. The place is clean, staff and doctors are nice, and I feel like my kids are well cared for there. Very convenient location and many ideas like before hours walk-in and free consultation with a nurse on staff that makes it easy to get information. For all the people giving one star reviews and complaining, their expectations are way too high, their reviews reflect more on them and their entitlement mindset than on this excellent practice. read more

I really like this practice. They're very responsive and easy to schedule appointments. Dr. Zaner and Holly the lactation consultant are particularly good providers. read more

My Children were patients when Dr. Jones from 1991 --- 2009 .... he was a great Doctor as well as a great man ... the practice was wonderful then and it still is... my sister takes her children there ... I highly recommend it! read more

Highly recommend this practice! We have been going to CMG for 17 years now, and have seen every pediatrician there. Now my husband and I see Dr. Arling in the adult side. The doctors are ALL amazing and hours convenient. During the Covid year, CMG put out weekly updates on all covid topics which were invaluable. We can't say enough great things about the doctors and nurses at CMG! read more

The actual pediatricians are awesome!! They get 5 stars!! The front desk staff are clowns with no real experience on anything that wasn't discussed in the vocational school from which they came. The last thing you want is a "bothered" receptionist when you are dealing with any medical issue with your child. I'm sorry but social media time should be on your own time not my time. I get it's hard to hire excellent employees at times but 3 fantastic employees are better than 10 idiots. It's not quantity but quality. read more

The actual pediatricians are amazing!! We have been going to CMG since our kids have been born 6 years ago. Dr. Jones was absolutely amazing until he passed away. Dr. Markovich and Dr. Shearin are beyond amazing. The front desk and admin staff are just absolute trash!! The training they received are surly from these daytime medical schools that are advertised on TV. They must have gone through these trash programs in two weeks and come out with a certificate to call themselves medical admin staff. They are rude and have no skill in speaking with people. If they don't like working for an elite practice, then go on the corner of a street to do admin work for a street pharmacist (aka drug dealer) because that's the way they interact with parents. The admin staff just makes the doctors and the practice look like trash!! read more

Yes, this is a large practice, but we have been going there for years and EVERYONE (except a few people on the phone) has been polite, friendly, helpful and responsive. I think they've really tried to cut down on wait times recently, but there are times that visits take too long (honestly so that they can spend time with people who need it). They have lots of in house specialists and capabilities that smaller practices do not have. read more

We've had such an amazing experience with this practice--and we've tried two others in the area. The receptionists are actually nice and helpful--they always go the extra mile to help with scheduling. Every doctor and nurse practitioner we've seen has been wonderful. NP Suzannah Stivison has been wonderful with our tween-aged daughter and really speaks to her like she's an actual person. The practice has been a saving grace during the pandemic, with regular information updates and recommendations and a modified practice plan--they have been so on the ball. read more

We have been going to this practice for 6 years, since our son was born. We have seen a lot of changes including the passing of Dr. Jones and our primary doc Dr. Finkelstein taking over the practice (there may be other doctors involved too). While it is tough to get an appt with Dr. F on short notice, he covers the morning sick visits so we mostly get care from him. MORNING SICK VISITS STARTING AT 7 AM =BEST IDEA EVER. No appt needed just come by before work and get dx, meds, etc. The practice is growing and there are many docs each with their own style, so shop around of you don't like your first doc. We feel really fortunate to get care from CMG! read more

I'm strongly considering changing practices. The physicians themselves are great, but there is a certain rigidity in the rules that would be a lot more tolerable if things didn't seem so disorganized every time I take my child there. They have an online system, Privia, which is helpful to see care summaries, but nothing else. You can't schedule appointments online in any meaningful manner. Scheduling appointments is a pain for working parents. Our daughter recently had an infection, and we were asked to come back for a follow-up appointment. The latest appointment they will schedule for a follow-up is at 3:45pm, even though they have later slots--but those are reserved only for sick visits. As a result, either my wife or I will have to take an entire day off work to make this appointment. They also charge $25 for calls off hours; while that is certainly less expensive than rushing your child to an ER when you are in doubt, it seems kind of unscrupulous given how much money you and your insurance provider are paying for these services. But really, it's the disorganization that gets to me the most. There have been multiple occasions now where we've been left to languish in a room with our child after vitals are taken. Once, we've waited almost an hour for a lactation consultant to come in to talk to us. On other occasions, after spending a long time waiting for the physician to come to see our kid, we were asked to move to another room so vitals could be taken for the next patient. It's basically impossible to be there for less than an hour, and you almost always have to pay for parking. And the kicker was when our child needed an ultrasound, and my wife asked if she could take her anywhere to get one. She was told she could go anywhere, so she informed them that she would take our child to the hospital a mile away from our home. After waiting there for hours to get the ultrasound, CMG asked her why she wasn't at Children's Hospital, though they never told her to go there. As a result, my wife waited for almost five hours to get an ultrasound because they sent the prescription to a different hospital. Ultimately, our child gets good care, but that would also be true in many other practices in the area. I'm getting tired of putting up with these shenanigans. read more

I have three children and Capitol Medical Group is the second practice that we have belonged to in the last eight years. We most often see Dr. Markovic and she is simply the best! She takes time to listen to our concerns and will often offer her personal experiences as a mother of 3. Beyond the great doctors within the practice, I appreciate the helpful, caring and professional front office staff. I needed medical forms completed and sent to a preschool on the same day and the office manager went above and beyond to work with the school to fax them immediately. Anytime I call in the morning, the scheduler makes sure that I am in for a sick visit that day. The practice is very family friiendly and accommodating to schedule consecutive visits for my kids so I dont have to return on a different day. If you are looking for a positive medical experience for your kids and for your parental peace of mind, Capitol Medical Group is the practice for you! read more

We had been going to Capitol Medical Group since our son was born and we saw Dr. Jones. What an amazing man he was. However, this company has done down hill fast since he passed away. I have had horrible experiences with not only the front desk but some of the doctors too. My son has Lyme's Disease and the doctors are CM insisted he had rheumatoid arthritis. The doctors made us feel like we were challenging them when we didn't agree. Well after things got worse, I found a Lyme's specialist and guess what, my son has Lyme's Disease. I would not recommend taking your most precious gift there, they don't care! read more

RECEPTIONIST !! I had a bad experience with a receptionist. She is so rude! ( Most of them are rude ) I might have to change practice even though I've never had a problem with pediatricians or nurses. read more

When my daughter was barely a teenager I was referred to this group by a sibling who brings both his children to this practice. The Doctors, nurses, admin, and all others related to the practice were first rate. The waiting room for older children is awesome, and the wait was never long. I have recommended this practice to other friends and family. Regarding the negative comments about the practice being about the money, that thought never crossed my mind. read more

Our two children have been patients of Capitol Medical group for 5+ years. We visit at least once a year for yearly physicals and sometimes inbetween for small incidents. We always arrive 5 minutes early and pay every invoice immediately. Yesterday, I picked my son up at 2:30 from school because the school nurse called to say he had a 102.7 fever and displayed classic symptons of strep. As soon as I got the call from the school nurse, I went to pick up my son AND immediately called Capitol Medical group to see if he could be seen for a strep test. I was on hold for 9 minutes. When the receptionist picked up, I explained the situation of being established patients and my son's temperature and symptons of strep. She informed me that THEY RAN OUT OF STREP TESTS and she did not know what to tell me. She said she would have the nurse call me ASAP. All calls were made and received on my cell phone, so I have the call times. The nurse did NOT call back until after 5pm. She said it was too late to be seen and that they wouldn't have the strep tests the next morning either. She offered no solution but did offer plenty of attitude. I asked her to have the practice manager, who had left for the day, phone me tomorrow (today). Since the call from the practice nurse came in at 5:06 pm, our only two options for care were the emergency room or the minute clinic at CVS. We went to the CVS minute clinic and waited 2 hours for care as the line was long. My son was treated by the practitioner and tested positive for strep. His fever was at 103.2. Antibiotics were prescribed and he will be fine. Maybe I am wrong but what kind of pediatric practice "runs out" of Strep tests in the middle of December? Clearly, someone has not been on top of proper inventory. Common sense should tell them that they need a solid inventory of strep test in December!! Second, when a long time, established patients has an acute issue and phones at 2:35 pm, reporting a fever of 102.7 and classic symtons of strep, why are we turned away. Terrible triage. Lastly, the practice manager, "Pat" returned my call this morning. She was quite unpleasant and told me that "she was too stressed out and busy" and did not understand my problem since my son did get treatment else where. I expect and demand better for my kids. God knows we pay for it at Capital Medical group! Capitol Medical group is not Cheap, they charge for every camp of school form and after hours call. We have always been very responsible, reliable patients. If they can not accomodate a child in this situation, who's parent calls at 2:35pm, then they have to re evaluate how they run their practice. read more

I have to say: We, too, were, absorbed into this practice. Dr. Fusner and her team absolutely did not change our expectations unreasonably; Dr. Fusner's office operated like a normal doctor's office: somewhat disorganized, pleasant (if brisk) on the phone, and ultimately offering excellent medical care with a value placed on empowering children (and their parents) to stay well. Capitol Medical Group appears to be run as a business for profit instead of as a medical group of pediatricians focused on children and their parents. Outright apathy and/or hostility by the front desk is joined by what also appears to be well-intentioned disorganization. The group is so poorly managed that the front desk is left to handle, with various personalities and moods of the day (rather than a logical, patient-centric work flow), parents' phone calls, concerns, questions, and -- obviously -- logistical issues around appointment scheduling for young children. And these exchanges take place only after you've been on hold 90% of the time. It's Pavlovian for me now: "Capitol Medical Group, can I place you on hold?" And I wait to find out what kind of person I'm going to have to deal with to get information or help for my children. Don't even get me started on the extra charges for phone calls and last-minute visits. I could be totally naive about this latter money part, so please forgive me if I am and this is extra harsh -- maybe all groups perform this cynical practice of charging parents in an emergency situation for needing to talk something through or having something checked out "just in case"? But really? Is that really the kind of medical group they want to be? Must they add one more layer of financial and logistical stress to families' lives because they need the 2% bump in profits? I have no idea if the doctors are competent (the only reason I think they must be is how much trust I have in June Fusner -- but now I'm beginning to wonder!), because the front desk appears to want to schedule you with nurses -- for your children's annual exams. This particular set of exchanges occurred after my very first call to the office, in which the woman said she had to "go to lunch and call [you] back to register and schedule your children." Two weeks later, she had not called back. So when I called back to schedule their annual exams, the front desk person pushed for us to see a nurse and seemed annoyed when I asked for a doctor. Yikes. My son saw Marla Roach (Roche?) last week for an infection, and my husband said she was "fine" and "nice." The triage nurse Carrie I talked to beforehand was extremely nice, but she missed diagnosing his problem because she was not listening fully to me. If it hadn't been for my husband's insistence they go in, my son would have suffered needlessly overnight. The two women at the front desk who at least deserve some kudos (and should look for other jobs) are Crystal and Masika. That Crystal promised to fax a form to my kids' school and did not I will just hope is not because she is nice and incompetent, but rather because she left the fax in someone else's hands and they failed to send it as promised. read more

Great practice. My son started going to them at 4 mos, but had to switch at 12 months due to a chance in our insurance. The moment CMG picks up Cigna insurance, I'll be back. The nurses are prompt at returning calls (especially Pat) and I don't typically feel rushed through a phone call. The doctors seems pretty good, I've seen about 5 of them - some are better than others: I have a special place in my heart for Dr. Roche - saw her at my son's 4 month appointment and really liked her. Dr. Jones is just funny - I mean, he's so straight forward with you and I think some people may be turned off by that, but I appreciate it... afterall, the man has 6 kids and a million grandkids on top of running a busy pediatric office; I'm pretty confident he knows what he's talking about. Hope we'll be able to return to the practice sooner rather than later. read more

We take our three preschoolers here and have had mixed experiences, but are ultimately looking for an alternate practice (despite the convenient location). Generally, all but one of the pediatricians have been really excellent. The one exception struggled to understand the vaccination schedule against my son's records even as we reviewed the CDC and County charts with her. Their record keeping is not stellar, and appointments book ages out and they never call with reminders that the kids are due for physicals or vaccinations (which is a struggle to keep up with if you're juggling more than one schedule and sick visits). When we called after-hours recently, the recording asked that we agree to a surcharge. We did, left a detailed message, but the doctor never called back. The next day we called again during regular hours and never received an answer. Later I tried to refill a prescription and had CVS send a refill request too. It took a week and multiple calls to fill a topical steroid. The practice is just exhausting to negotiate. read more

Avoid this place. Rude staff, some doctors are ok and some are awful. Their main concern is their bottom line, not your children. Holly, one of their nurses is exceptionally rude and uncaring. read more

Every single experience I have had with Capitol Medical Group has been horrible. Avoid this practice at all cost, and go with someone else on your health insurance plan. Suzannah Stivison is a pitiful nurse practitioner, and if you are forced against your will to go to this practice, at least try to avoid her at all costs. She acts as though she as superior to you because she is a nurse, when in reality she is the one that is supposed to be supplying a service, and without patients she would have no purpose. In my experiences with Marla Roche, she has always had an attitude, and treated me rudely, when she has no reason to. She was extremely snippy and short with me when I had to go to the practice due to a serious medical condition. She acted as though she didn't really care, and that she had somewhere better to be. Aren't doctors supposed to provide care to their patients? The bottom line is: avoid capitol medical group, they are a horrific practice. read more

I have 3 children and they've all been patients at CMG since they were born and have seen nearly every doctor. There is only one doctor I do not think is very good. All others are personable, knowledgeable and excellent doctors. The doctors have always given great medical and other advice for all development stages of my children's lives. My teenager starting going there when she was just 5 months old and she's now a young woman. My son, who was diagnosed with ADHD 4 years ago, gets excellent care. Finally, my youngest was diagnosed with a life threatening illness and based on Pat screening my call (I was quite non-chalant about the symptoms) they immediately saw my daughter and quickly sent us to the hospital where my daughter was for 7 days. there are a lot of neurotic people in this area and CMG has seen it all, I'm sure. Their fees are what they are because that is what the area charges. I am grateful they take inusurance and they have kept their doctors there for so long. read more

My wife and I have had a great experience taking our three-month-old to CMG. They have been responsive and I'm not sure what we would have done without Holly, the lactation consultant. Since we have a newborn, we especially appreciate that they get us back to an examination room quickly rather than have us wait with the other kids. The other positive comments are right on as well. I'm surprised by the negative comments - CMG is not a 24 hour personal concierge service. Yes, the practice reserves the right to charge you a nominal fee if you repeatedly call after hours with non-urgent questions. That doesn't strike me as unreasonable. And yes, December is a busy time at the pediatrician. I wouldn't think that after five years of satisfactory service, a single bad incident warrants a one star review. read more
