I would not recommend this group to a friend. Here is amy review. Hopefully it helps make your decision. For years we were with MP since the birth of our two children. We found that with time the support and one to one interaction really went down. I also found that with time the doctors for some reason (either that was the practice mandate) tried to hold on to their patients for a longer period of time before recommending a specialist. I also found that if a specialist was recommended, it was mostly not so good. I was better of researching a better referral. Here is an example: My son came up with an infection and they prescribed an anti-fungal. Then many months later when it did not go away, another of their doctors saw it and prescribed a Steroid (I had my doubts). One of their doctors had earlier said an oral anti-fungal will do the trick but this one gave a steroid. Then when it still did not go away (we are now 6 months into the process), yet another doctor said it looks like fungus and prescribed another anti-fungal. They still kept saying a specialist is not needed. I took it upon myself to search for a Dermatologist visited them immediately and they explained that a steroid when placed on a fungal infection actually pushes the fungus further down into the skin! An anti fungal cream I have come to learn is only used when the ringworm type of fungus is fiery and red. Once it simply lingers around, you might switch to another cream and diligently use it for even over a month.
Here lies the problem : The doctors tend to hold on to their patients, even if the matter calls for a Specialist with more insight in the matter. You get to see a different doctor every time at MPED, I am not sure that they have regular meetings to discuss their patients, there is absolutely no one-one care and to top it off their staff at the front desk is very rude. Plus to add to this, they have never ever called us to keep us up to date on the kids vaccinations. I have to be after them instead! I have spent too much time and money on this practice and I feel my family has suffered the consequences. There is no feeling that we are being taken care of. Our kids love their dental practice, but hate their primary care pediatrician. read more
