We have been to this pediatrician with our 4 month old son 2 times for his shots and once with our…read more2 year old son. We recently moved to the region from the USA.
We visited in August: very hot weather. In the waiting room there was an AC, but it was switched off. In the doctor's office no AC, so very sweaty but hey, I can deal with that.
My 2 year old was told off for standing on the balance (a standard one like I have at home).....at the pediatrician. OK, I convince my son to wait until the baby has had its checkup. The baby gets his shot and cries a bit, no big deal. Then he yanks on the babies foreskin.....of course the baby starts crying uncontrollably. He tells me to give the baby a painkiller before we come next time!!!!! Sjeez man, first its completely unnecessary to free the foreskin (goes with time) and secondly, what kind of pediatrician tells a parent to drug his kid before coming in for a simple shot?!
Then my 2 year old is up and needs to be weighed. The doctor asks me: Is he more than 15 kg? Interesting question eh? we're here to weigh him.... So I say I think he is (my kid is rather big for French standards) so we weigh him on a standard balance, instead of the baby balance. It took the guy 4 attempts to weigh my son: he had not a clue how a balance works (auto tare).
During the whole ordeal I stayed polite, as we needed a letter for school which states the child had all immunizations.....this was very hard I can tell you.
During the whole visit the doctor never washes his hands. He uses a disinfectant (alcohol) instead. Yak!
This doctor is really not interested in his work or patients. I highly suggest you stay away and find someone else.
