I was on bed rest and and couldn't attend, however, my husband and mother loved it upon first site! This office is very colorful and extremely welcoming to new patient and families!! My daughter has been a patient since 2009. They came to the hospital when she was first born and were very knowledgeable about the process! My daughter was a patient of Dr. Jobes, who left this practice! We simply adored her and were sad that she was leaving! However, we had to choose another primary in the office and were pleased to with all of the options present! All of the docs and nurses are very knowledgeable and are very good with children and babies! My daughter is not afraid at all to come to the office for a visit! Even for shots, they are quick and get em done! We totally adored the young lady Vanessa who assisted in our daughter's appointments prior to her turning 3! She cared very much for our little one which made it very easy to come back and feel good about the practice! The office is very colorful with a sick room and a well room to keep the children separate if they are ill! There are televisions that have are on children programs to entertain the children while they wait! There are books and toys as well! I simply love this office! I pass many offices to go to this one! A choice I do not regret!

My daughter hurt her wrist enough to need a splint. Her insurance unfortunately all of a sudden required a referral for an orthopedic. I called Arundel Peds to get them to fax one. They wouldn't because she was considered "a new patient" because she hadn't been in a few years. My daughter was in a lot of pain, and really didn't need to be poked at. They wouldn't fax a referral even though I explained to she was in no condition to be seen. The receptionist have/had no bedside manner! When we took her they insisted she get shots in both arms (including the sore arm) really??? (Her dad took her or id off insisted to wait) Then when she saw the doctor we were told that a well visit was not even needed. So put my kid through more unnecessary misery instead of faxing a referral. We will be changing insurances and going elsewhere!

I love that they all know us when we walk in, are welcoming, and we do not have to wait long to be called and cared for.

My 3 year old Grandson gets excited every time we pass the building and screams "There's my Doctors! There's my Doctors! Can we go there?" There was one time that I walked in with my Grandson, and right after I checked in, without warning he vomited all over me. Next thing I knew the Doctor, Medical Assistants, and even the Receptionist all ran over to help. You could tell they cared! I'm thankful for Kinder Mender and their services throughout the years. They have always listened to my concerns, are very thorough and patient, are always available to answer my questions, and they allow me to be a part of the care that my kids receive. I have always felt comfortable with the information that I was given when I leave, and know that my kids were competently taken care of. It always amazes me when I walk in with a sick child, and by the time that we leave they seem to be miraculously healed and full of energy. It really shows me that my children are comforted by the care they receive. Thanks to all of you! You are the best!

We were called back for vitals within 20 minutes and then had a short wait before we saw the dr.

The woman who called us back was nasty. She was NOT the doctor or PA- she called us back to say only my sick son could talk to them, that he needed an adult doctor and would not tell us the doctor he saw for his heart before. My son tried, sickly to ask all the questions he didn't really understand. I tried to ask through him since I have a medical background, but a feverish sick person can't easily relay questions. She was so horrible, she wouldn't help in any fashion. Her tone was clipped and intentionally sharp/mean-We needed guidance, and she told us to start from scratch though he is allowed to go to a pediatrician until 21. The man who answered the phone was great, this woman called us back and was not nice or compassionate at any moment. She must be the one they use to call with bad news.

Assuming you finish and pass the screening, you are emailed a green pass that you show the front desk when entering the building. If you don't get a chance to pre-fill it, you take the screening with one of the front desk receptionists, who are set up right in front of the elevators. The particular office I visited had a one patient rule, meaning you could not be accompanied by another person, or have them sit in the waiting area. Not an issue for me, but could be something to keep in mind for parents, guardians, etc. In the waiting area, every other seat was blocked off. Parking out front is free and plentiful. Facilities are on the older side.

It's very cold. I can tell our doctor doesn't remember us every time we come. Some people on the front desk staff are impolite and sometimes downright rude. They hired two new front desk ladies who are wonderful though. But even the front desk staff look miserable when they're working. It takes a long time for someone to answer the phone. The nurse that helps out our doctor has a pretty poor bedside manner and has messed up our child's blood pricks several times, causing him more pain than required. Our doctor is okay but she just types on her computer all of our answers to questions and doesn't give us much feedback other than 'you're doing great'. I don't want to say names because we still go there for now and they are okay at their jobs, but if I did it again, I would go elsewhere. We get an icky feeling every time we have to come here. Also the parking sucks.
