We only attended the practice to get our daughter's ears pierced prior to her one-year birthday. The practice made it super easy to schedule an appointment, only requiring we fax over vaccination records and bring a method of payment day of ($50 for the ear piercing). We didn't have to bring insurance information to bill anything-just a quick in & out reliable service. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The employee doing the actual piercing walked us through the process & next steps with incredible detail. She worked so well with our daughter- I immediately called our pediatrician to suggest they refer anyone looking for a Dr. based piercing to go to this location. read more

We love this practice! You can always get an appointment and the staff are so friendly and helpfI'm!

It has been 4 weeks since my daughter got her ear piercings and they look great! I did clean them twice a day, so make sure you follow instructions. read more

Chesapeake Pediatrics - Baby's ear on first day - Pediatricians Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I love this practice! Dr. Jobes is the best. She is very good with my teenage son, makes him feel comfortable and he can talk to her now that he is getting older which I feel is very important. Calls are returned quickly and scheduling visits are never a problem. The office is spacious and the staff is always willing to help with the various sports forms and school forms I seem to always need. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. read more

I have been taking my children to Chesapeake Pediatrics for 13 years - first with K. Hoffman who was awesome, and then Doctor Jobes who was even more awesome. After those two left, it simply wasn't the same. I haven't found the current doctors and nurses to be kind and respectful. Last time I went there their entire office didn't have electricity. We have two insurances and they only are willing to bill one, so we keep paying what we shouldn't be paying. Will be taking my kids elsewhere. read more

I'm sorry, but I my husband and I are very disappointed with this place. We took our girls before the school year began to get their ears pierced. The front desk receptionists were very welcoming and sweet! Unfortunately, the nurse who did our girls ears was not at all good. We had to argue with her about the placement of the piercing all while our girls were scared and crying. Regardless, of what our girls were doing, the nurse should NOT have argued with us and think she knows best for our girls! Absolutely ridiculous! Both of my girls earrings fell out prior to the 6 weeks and when I called them, the brushed it off as being normal. I totally disagree- I have 9 ear piercings & NONE of them came out on their own, EVER!! Wait for it... And the WORST PART: the holes are not centered properly - go figure! That is why we were arguing with her! I have to keep the studs in, because if I put in any other style of earrings, it will look ridiculous on my girls! SO MAD! I honestly thought a reputable pediatrics office (good reviews) would be better than going to a piercing place at the mall- NOPE, I was wrong!! read more

My wife and I love this practice. They have taken very good care of our son and are always available, even after hours. It is a smaller practice so we have gotten to know the entire office and they have gotten to know us as well. Dr. Jobes is wonderful and very knowledgeable. read more

Our children have been patients since birth, and we have been very satisfied with Dr. Coyner and everyone at Chesapeake Pediatrics.

I wish I could give a zero star review but unfortunately I cannot. This is very disheartening because originally when we found this practice I couldn't rave about it more. My daughter is 3 months old and we went in to get vaccinations based upon the schedule the Nurse Practitioner, Lindsey, had made for my daughter. When we got there for the shot, Lindsey was not in the office. The nurse, who was not in our last appointment, tried to give my daughter 2 additional vaccines that were not scheduled for this visit and tried to argue with me about why my schedule was wrong. Upon our exit I wanted my daughter's records because I was debating on finding a new pediatrician. After speaking with our family I was convinced that we shouldn't change practices just because of a nurse and I should speak to her provider directly before actually switching. I called this morning and I was told I could not speak with her because I transferred which I had not yet. I asked to speak to the head of the practice and when she called she had informed me that they were changing their vaccination policy and they should have changed it 6 months ago so they wouldn't have taken me as a patient. She was not open to hearing what actually happened because she read the nurses notes and that's all the information she needed. My recommendation- if you have concerns with your child's health and want your feelings to be heard, find another pediatrician's office. Lindsey is phenomenal and I would follow her anywhere else she would go. Unfortunately the rest of the practice is not as personable and do not care for their patients the same way. I couldn't be more disappointed to be searching for a new provider's office on the day my daughter was scheduled to get yet another vaccine. read more

Great practice. Intelligent, thoughtful, inquisitive doctors and Nurse Practitioner. Front office staff, nurses and doctors/NP are all kind and responsive. As a smaller practice, we are able to see our doctor and get to know the others, as well. They remember us, pay a lot of attention to our children, and their diagnosis is always spot-on. I appreciate every call, check-up and visit. read more

The absolute worst experience I've ever had with a medical professional in my entire life. When we moved to the area, we got a few recommendations for Chesapeake Pediatrics based on its long-standing reputation and recently retired physicians. I took my son there for his well-child visit and had a good experience. However, when I brought my son in a few weeks later for high fever following a tick bite, it was horrible. First, while waiting for our appointment, Dr. Jobes came up to the receptionist who relayed a message about a parent who had called and asked to have their child's asthma prescription changed. Dr. Jobes said to the receptionist in an annoyed tone, "Parents don't dictate to me what I prescribe for their child." I was a little taken aback by her attitude as well as lack of professionalism to allow this conversation to be overheard by a patient. Afterwards, the nurse called us back and my son (age 5 years, 1 month) refused to get weighed or measured. (We had just moved 2 months before from out-of-state and he was scared of seeing a new doctor and kept telling me he wanted to see our old pediatrician.) The nurse seemed annoyed, and I explained that we had just moved, plus, he wasn't feeling well. When she got us into the exam room, she tried to take his temperature under his arm with a stick thermometer and he got scared and tried to get away from her. I attempted to calm him down and explain that she was just taking his temperature, and it wouldn't hurt. I quickly apologized to the nurse and explained that he had never had his temp taken like that (old PED used the ear thermometer). She tried again, and he started howling and kicked at her as he was trying to burying himself in my arms. She looked at me like "I give up." and left. I started trying to calm my son (he was worried it was a shot) and explain to him that the nurse was just trying to help and he can't kick at her. (He didn't make contact, but he was definitely trying his hardest to keep her away.) Dr. Jobes opened the door a few moments later and without any greeting, immediately scolded my son by saying "You do NOT kick at my nurse!" As she walked over to wash her hands she said, "You are here for a suspected fever and we are going to take your temperature." Well, any parent can tell you that went over like a lead balloon with a sick child who was already crying and scared. He started screaming again as she came at him with the thermometer and tried to lift his arm as I held the rest of him. He was doing his best to get away from her, and I explained to her over his screams that he was scared it was a shot bc he had never had his temp taken like that before bc our old PED used an ear thermometer. She's trying to pull his arm up and snaps at me, "Those things aren't accurate." At this point, this whole situation just becomes totally weird. I said, "Well, I don't know about that, I'm just tying to explain to you why he's scared." He's continuing to evade her and keep her from getting under his arm, and she's clearly determined and getting frustrated. Then she looks up at me, having only seen my son in the office for his well-child exam with no findings, and says "This behavior is not at all normal for a 5-year old. You are going to have a lot of problems with him when he starts school." Now it goes from weird to just surreal. I was completely shocked that she would: 1) make a diagnosis of a behavioral disorder while wrestling my son and 2) speak like that in front a a child. I was completely taken aback, and I said, "He's been in preschool for 2 years and has never had any behavior problems." Then she said, "Well, I'm surprised by that. He should not be acting like this at his age." I really wanted to just grab my kid and run, but I was also worried about this tick bite and unexplained fever. He sobbed the entire time, and I was on the verge of tears as she prescribed an antibiotic for possible Lyme disease exposure. I couldn't wait to get out of there. When the nurse brought out his preschool form to us in the lobby, I was in tears and told her we would never be coming back. She shrugged. The worst part was, as we were driving home, my son said, "Mama, I would never kick at my teacher. That doctor just scared me." I feel so guilty having subjected my child to such an unprofessional physician like Dr. Jobes. Avoid this practice at all costs. BTW, my son is in second grade now and has never had any behavior issues at school. She's just a terrible doctor and should not be treating children. read more
