Parents who are separated or divorced be warned: This practice will not communicate with two…read moreco-parents. They require you to designate one primary parent, and will not communicate appointment times, information in the chart, etc with two parents at once. Though I explained in two long conversations that both parents have custody, and both need equal access, they refused to provide it. This is simply unworkable for parents who, for whatever reason, are unable to communicate with each other, or do not agree about their children's health conditions. Because they would not give both custodial parents equal access to the chart, we will not be going with this practice.

I've only gone here since covid started but so far I am super impressed. When I called initially to…read moreget information about becoming a new patient I appreciated that I was not put on hold to too long. I ultimately chose this practice due to the quality of the providers, availability of providers after hours and and the accessibility of same-day appointments. They seem to have everything worked out with regards to getting patients in and out during covid. When you arrive you call the front desk and they escort you back straight to your room. So there's no waiting around in the waiting room. I look forward to things going back to normal in the future so my partner can go to appointments with me. So far all the staff including doctors, nurses and NPs have been very friendly and helpful. I appreciated that they had auto scheduled the first Six appointments for me. I did end up having to reschedule a few.

[Dr. Star was AMAZING! HIs PAs were always wonderful too!] My son came back from college in Chicago, needed help with a sickness and to get some medical records- The man who answered the phone was great, compassionate, thorough and helpful. 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.

We were recommended to Dr. Simon by another parent who had brought their child to Dr. Simon for…read moreyears. It was the best recommendation we could have gotten. He's a great doctor and my 3 year old would agree. Dr. Simon is a very calm and soothing individual who has a soft presence that is wonderful for dealing with nervous children. They are very accommodating and will usually make room for your child in a pinch in cases of unexpected illness that need a doctor's visit. If you are looking for a new pediatrician, please give this office a try. You won't regret it! I promise you!

******Update, this issue has been resolved**********I have been taking my daughter to Dr. Mark for…read moreover ten years. Main Street recently sent a message stating that both of my children are due for their annual appointments and I needed to call to schedule them. When I called, I was informed that Dr. Mark does not have any availability until June. I was prepared to schedule an appointment with another doctor, but then I was told that I cannot change doctors without Dr. Mark's approval, even though other doctors have open availability. I am confused and frustrated by this policy. If Dr. Mark is unavailable to see my children, and other doctors are available, what is the issue? Why does one doctor have the power to determine who gets to see my daughter?

If you're looking for a pediatrician, I would try others in the area first. This place is okay, but…read moreit doesn't have a warm and fuzzy family feeling like many pediatrician offices do. 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.

Horrible practice! Their staff is rude and constantly lost paperwork, didn't forward messages to…read morethe doctors, and messed up billing. Our family used them for thirteen years. My oldest daughter went misdiagnosed with scoliosis for so long, it was so bad that when her middle school nurse caught it she needed her entire spine fused. I chalked that up to something that she might not have normally looked for. However the final straw was with our middle son. We were informed this year from his school that he needed to work with someone for behavioral issues with his attention and ADHD. We went through all of the required testing from his school and turned it over to his doctor. The front desk never got back to us, then told us they lost the paperwork. We supplied them with another copy, two weeks went by and still no answer. When we called we were told that the doctor misplaced the papers again. We finally got in to see a new doctor for all of the kids, we have three, and the difference is unbelievable. I don't know why we waited so long to dump this practice!

Dr. Lamson is the best doctor I've ever had --- easy to get through to make an appointment, easy to…read moreget referrals, he listens well, and he's very smart. He's one of those primary care doctors who chose primary care because they believe in it, not because they couldn't get into dermatology or surgery. He went to MIT for undergraduate and worked at MIT in computer science before computers were widespread, and he went back to medical school after a successful career in computer science. He's located at GBMC, and it's easy to get lab tests downstairs. Now that I've moved away, I'm having trouble finding a doctor who even comes close to measuring up.

Dr. Lamson was also the best primary care physician I'd ever had until he was told he was retiring…read morein December of 2014 because he was not seeing enough patients per hours. My father's physician was in the same practice, and same thing happened to him. Thank you, Obamacare. That's what happens when a doctor takes the time to get to know a patient today, listen to all his/her concerns, address them, explain all the side effects of prescribed medications, etc. Dr. Lamson was a consummate professional who left left no symptom unaddressed, no illness undiagnosed before you left his office. Now I go to a doctor who sees me for 15 minutes, doesn't even listen to my heart or lungs even though I have had hypertension for 25 years, and double pneumonia twice, and throws me out of my office (times up!) before I can get my prescriptions refilled. Youth of Amerika, this is your future!

I truly cannot say enough good things about this practice.
