I am writing this to share my personal experience as a former pediatric patient, in the hope that…read moreit helps others feel validated and encourages parents and patients to trust their instincts. I saw Dr. Perrin as a child for allergy treatment (cats, dust, mold, stuffed animals, etc.). From a very young age, this practice was one of the places where I felt the most unsafe and uncomfortable. Most visits with the doctor left me feeling uncomfortable and uneasy. The way Dr. Perrin looked at me and interacted with me felt creepy and inappropriate. He frequently touched my ears, earrings, hair, neck, rubbed my shoes, and feet in ways that did not feel medically necessary. During allergy shots or examinations, he often insisted that I remove my shirt so he could "check my posture," despite me insisting that posture checks were already being evaluated at my school. There was another time I had to complete a fitness test. You run in circles behind the office. Most of the patients would complete it and come back in, get set up to a machine. But for mine, he would watch me run for the entire 10-15 minutes. Watching and smiling. He'd also insist to clean my ears and rub them. These requests happened repeatedly. I regularly complained and expressed discomfort, and I hated going to appointments. I often begged my mother or a nurse to come into the room with me because I did not want to be alone with him. At the time, my concerns were brushed off because he was a doctor and considered a professional. And her friends said he's great and does a very thorough job. The most disturbing incident occurred when, as a 12-year-old, he told me I needed to remove all my clothes for a vaginal exam. When I questioned why an allergist would need to do this, he claimed he needed to check my hymen and said it was connected to my lungs and could be affecting my breathing. Even as a child, this logic felt weird and wrong. I became extremely upset, refused, and cried to my mother. Looking back as an adult, I now understand how inappropriate and frightening these experiences were. No child should feel confused, scared, or unsafe during medical care. If that is constantly the case, look at the doctor, not the child. After the Olympic doctor scandal, I wanted to do something, but I never did. I was relieved to learn that this practice is now closed and that Dr. Perrin has since retired. My heart goes out to anyone else who may have had similar experiences. I hope this review helps others feel less alone and reminds parents and patients to listen to that inner voice when something doesn't feel right. I hope I was an exception and not the rule. I release and let go of this.

This review concerns my recent experience with having a baby and a few follow up visits I had to…read moredo. My wife had to have a surprise C-section done because the baby was early. It was an emergency procedure, and it went about as well as could be expected. I was brought in to sit with her while it happened, and there were plenty of nurses, doctors, and such taking care of business. No one made me feel in the way or anything. Quite the opposite, actually. For her recovery, I can't complain. The nurses in the maternity section were top-notch. Again, I wasn't made to feel in the way, even though I stayed there each night. The nurses checked on her as much as needed plus extra, and were always wanting to know if she needed anything. Our baby was kept in the NICU while we were there, and no matter how many times we came down ourselves or with visitors, it wasn't an issue. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and professional. At the nurse's station in the main maternity ward, there was a "pick a nurse of the week" type of thing for visitors, but I couldn't limit myself to one. It would have seemed unfair. My wife shares this sentiment and is impressed by how well we were treated. Years ago, this place did not seem as well run. I don't know what or who changed, but it was completely different. Again, however, I can only speak of the maternity section, which also includes the prenatal departments we had to see for ultrasounds and the like. We had visits from lactation specialists and other types, which went fine as well. On a visit to the outpatient section, I had to explain that I was simply told by a doctor at the hospital that I was to show up. I didn't have a copy of the script as I wasn't given one. Rather than tell me "too bad, get the script and come back" the way a lot of places in this area would, the receptionist had me sit down and wait while she called the doctor's office (a couple of times) and got confirmation of the script herself. She kept me updated as to the problem of getting hold of someone there, and took the time to keep trying until someone was reached. If there was anything I would consider a con, it was some lack of concern on the part of one doctor who wouldn't even consider letting my wife stay longer, despite the need for it. But then, a doctor in the NICU was very helpful and explained everything we needed to know. So, both extremes there. She also received dinners from the cafeteria a couple of times without having ordered anything, but even after being told that, let us keep them. As for security, before being admitted into the section each time I left, I had to show my wristband to them through the cameras before they'd unlock the door. Exactly the way they should. I can't comment as to anything else in the hospital at this point, but our experience with maternity was good, and helped a lot with the rough start to my daughter's life.

I took my five-year-old son to Riverside Urgent Care at 3403 Delsea Dr. in Vineland, hoping he…read morewould receive an X-ray after injuring his arm. Our initial visit with the nurse practitioner was professional and friendly, but things took a turn when the radiologist discouraged me from accompanying my son into the X-ray room. This was troubling, especially since I'd been allowed in for a different injury just a few weeks prior. When I politely insisted on being present, the radiologist reluctantly agreed, but it was clear they were not happy with my decision. As a parent, let me be clear: it is never okay to suggest that a parent should not accompany their child in such a situation. Parents have every right to be with their child, and I will always trust my instinct over anyone else's recommendation. To even imply otherwise is unacceptable. Once inside the X-ray room, it quickly became apparent that the radiologist was struggling to position my son's arm and causing him significant pain. My son was in tears, while seated in an adult-sized chair with a large gap between the table and his lap, which was forcing him to strain his broken arm far too high. When I calmly suggested adjusting the chair or table to reduce his discomfort, the radiologist refused and implied that pain was simply unavoidable if we wanted the X-rays to be taken. This lack of flexibility and compassion was appalling. I politely and professionally requested the nurse practitioner join us to assess whether it was appropriate to continue, given the pain my son was in. Instead of maintaining a spirit of cooperation, the radiologist left the room, leaving my son in a painful position, only to send the nurse practitioner in their stead to claim I was not cooperating. Ironic! This was deeply unprofessional. The nurse practitioner left, and I assumed we would then continue with the X-rays. I spent the time trying to coach my son to be brave and endure the pain for a few moments. However, the nurse practitioner returned several minutes later, this time with a manager, treating me as though I was being difficult, when all I was doing was calmly advocating for my son's comfort and safety. Their collective attitude and refusal to collaborate made me feel like an inconvenience, rather than a concerned parent doing what was best for my child. We left and went to Cooper ER in Camden, where the experience couldn't have been more different. Despite having the same equipment layout, the staff at Cooper immediately adjusted his seating for comfort, explained every step with respect, and handled the situation with compassion and professionalism. My son, who had been in tears at Riverside, was laughing at Cooper, even though he needed to return for multiple X-rays. It was truly a night-and-day difference, and it had nothing to do with the facilities but everything to do with the people. The lack of basic bedside manner and empathy at Riverside Urgent Care is concerning and must be addressed. It is my sincere hope that this feedback is taken seriously, and that the staff reconsider their approach to patient care, especially when dealing with children. If I had not insisted on being present, I can't imagine how much more distress my son would have endured. This is not the way to treat families, and I encourage Riverside to reflect on this experience to prevent it from happening again.
