Dr. Huie has been my PCP for a few years. He's all the things a doctor should be and none of the…read morethings doctors these days have become. When you call his office (during office hours) someone picks up on the first or second ring. When you arrive you are given the most minimum paperwork which is a huge relief. He's always on time and you are never kept waiting. Most doctors talk to you while staring at your chart or typing into a computer and barely look at you. Dr. Huie gives direct eye contact right away and is present with you the entire time. You get his full attention. He asks enough questions but doesn't pester you with irrelevant ones. He gets quickly to his suggestion and doesn't overly explain things once you get it. He has a great network of folks he refers you do and somehow even has their phone numbers memorized. The office sends you easy to understand bills and is easy to work with. Doctors like these are a dying breed. I hope he never retires.

He was recommended to me by our wonderful (and now retired) pediatrician in the city when we moved to the burbs. Takao is a warm, thorough and experienced pediatrician with a good sense of humor and a welcoming support staff. My kids actually like going to the Dr.'s office. He's shown us flexibility when we've needed it, and has always been incredibly responsive. For example, when my kid took a header into the couch armrest on the Fourth of July, I texted him and he called me right back from a party he was attending. He squeezed us in the next day just to make sure my child was ok, and also followed up with a phone call. This is his standard of care. I'd heard his practice was closed to new patients, but I just spoke with him and it's now reopened.

This is not the interpretation of a weary parent, this is also the assessment of a teen patient who was too respectful, polite and hopeful to call out the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the care offered when the patient knew something fresh was needed. Referral of services for other care was extremely ineffective and unhelpful, waste of time and our adult (parent) family primary care physician even told us the doctors, locations and services that were suggested by this office were the scariest and not good places or doctors. We learned the hard way that the referrals were stale, We spent a lot of time trusting the referrals and trying to find our solution. This was precious time lost while being bullied at school that the child could have used to make progress rather than struggle. Current era bullying is a topic not well understood by this office and this office is not equipped with finding the right fit for care. The Rx were only a benefit to Pharma and have scary side effects that were counseled to the parent as 'most kids' are on these meds these days, that's not a good basis to counsel a parent. You'd think a professional with decades of experience would have a better assessment of efficacy. An office like this with the cost of visits, which were also a billing focus and priority for the office, should have an excellent top tier network and fresh ideas, with cutting edge care referrals. At the prices charged (especially for a HDHP deductible situation), there's a lot more out there in the services field; a simple good therapist approach is best. My kid also did not have confidence and trust in the doctor or staff. Experienced professionals should recognize this and immediately tell parents and help them find another primary care provider where the kid is comfortable; instead of shielding their findings from the parent, regardless of patient age and confidentiality. We got a simple "I'd like to see the patient again in 2-4 weeks, can't quite figure out what the problem is ..". Chaching$$$$$ more visits. Suggest: Prioritize care and reduce poor referrals. Prioritize care over billing codes. For bullying that causes anxiety, develop better resources, help parents expose the problem, not hide it in confidentiality presumptions. Stop dragging out the recovery and stop the prescription of depression drugs that don't work, and only benefit big Pharma and are impacting a teen brain that is still developing way into an individual's early 20's. Also the documentation in the medical records was inconsistent and troubling enough that it was a last straw. Under the guise of confidentiality, things were blocked so only the office could see notes and appointments and the documentation and records were inconsistent. We were told patient and parents could not see the visit notes, appointment times, etc under the guise of confidentiality. This is not correct, we are allowed have access, at a minimum the teen should have access. We now know this because our visits with other providers in the last 8 months have the same legal standards and in the same network of children's Benioff/ Alta Bates/ and John Muir networks these recent office visits and documentation share much more than this office did, and we were told by this office that neither the kid nor parents could view it based on the software and rules of confidentiality. Obviously, by equal comparison with other providers, this issue is mismanaged by this office and their statements are not accurate Our expectations for our kid as the patient and as parents for records review were VALIDATED by these newer providers as reasonable and normal, legal. It makes me think this office didn't know how to use the online system or they were over-interpreting and over-applying some rule they misunderstood. The patient has a right to see the entire file and notes and it is important for their health record. Their peer providers prove this office's record management and teen confidentiality protocols as flawed. Professionals are supposed to lead, not create more problems. Regarding time, network resources, cost and ability to problem solve, and ensure better outcomes....... There's a lot of other options out there, God bless and good luck.

While waiting for the doctor, I overheard her and staff gossiping about me outside the door. I waited 45 minutes only to be talked to in a condescending matter. For her level of experience and care provided (barely adequate) anyone reading this should save themselves the denigration and belittlement and go with another doctor.
