They dragged their feet on just about everything. After several times going back and forth requesting the same thing completing the same form . Nothing !

Before my son was born, we reached out to Neighbors Pediatrics (at the time, Plantation Pediatrics)…read moreto inquire if Dr. Traynham was accepting new patients. We were told such wonderful things about Dr. Traynham and knew we didn't need to consider anyone else. Through some miscommunication, we were told he was not accepting new patients. With weeks before my son's arrival, we had to scramble to find another pediatrician at another office in town. Once our pediatrician retired, we circled back to Neighbors Pediatrics to see if Dr. Traynham was accepting new patients this time around. The staff is friendly and does such a great job at breaking the ice with the babies and children before they even walk back to the exam room. I do like that the office is divided into two areas with well visits isolated to one side and sick visits isolated to the opposite side of the office. Dr. Traynham is exactly what you would expect from a pediatrician - professional (with the parents), lighthearted and friendly (with the babies and children), has a ton of medical knowledge, and of course, very patient. He will answer any questions you may have for him regarding your child, and you will not feel like you are being rushed or pushed out prematurely before your questions or concerns are addressed. Not only is he interested in building a relationship with your child, but he's also interested in building a long-term relationship with the parents.

The reason I am giving this practice 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the treatment my family…read morereceived from Danielle Poole, RMA, during our most recent visit. Her behavior was noticeably rude and made an already stressful appointment even more difficult. As a nurse and healthcare leader within MUSC, I understand that healthcare professionals have demanding jobs. However, I was disappointed by the lack of empathy, compassion, and professionalism that was displayed, particularly when caring for young children and interacting with concerned parents. When I asked why a hemoglobin test was necessary, my intention was simply to understand whether a finger stick could be avoided for my already distressed 12-month-old. Rather than providing an explanation or acknowledging my concern, I was told, "I don't know, every baby gets it done at 12 months." The response felt dismissive, and her demeanor suggested that my question was unreasonable, despite it being a straightforward request for information about my child's care. Later, I requested a copy of my son's vaccination records because he was preparing to start daycare. After receiving the records, I asked whether the vaccines administered during that day's visit had been included. In response, she appeared irritated and replied, "I just told you they are updated records." Again, the interaction felt unnecessarily dismissive. Most concerning was the complete lack of compassion shown toward my son while he was visibly upset during the finger stick and vaccinations. Pediatric care requires not only clinical competence but also patience, kindness, and reassurance for both children and their parents. Prior to this visit, I have had consistently positive experiences with Neighbors Pediatrics and have always appreciated the care provided by the clinical staff and providers. Unfortunately, this encounter stood in stark contrast to those experiences and left a lasting negative impression. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that future families do not have a similar experience.

During COVID the wait was long and the phones were busy but they never turned me away. I have had kids who needed babynet, normal visits, emergency visits and hospital visits and they have always shown up. The thing that keeps me going is that they always listen to their patients, their concerns are actually addressed and they keep Improving. I have always gotten my school records in time and same day sick apt. Yes I was billed wrong once but the billing lady fixed it. In 14 years of coming here the doctors have personally called me on off hours to make sure I got medication needed and sent to different pharmacies who had the meds or were closer to me, come to hospital to check on us and been the best.

I do not enjoy leaving negative reviews, but feel the need to mention the multiple incidents that…read moreoccurred here that made us look for another pediatrician. We were seen by Dr. Eliza Varadi, the owner of the practice. Before our daughter's first appointment at 4 days old, we filled out all of the patient paperwork. When we checked in, the front desk staff could not find our submission despite us receiving the confirmation email. The front desk staff asked us to fill it out again. Between their request and us being seen by the nurse and the doctor (while also feeding/changing our newborn), there certainly was not enough time to fill out the lengthy form in its entirety. The front desk staff member barges in (without knocking) when we are with the doctor asking if we had filled out the form yet. Turns out, they had spelled the last name incorrectly and that was why they couldn't find the submission. Beyond this example, we have generally found the front desk staff to be rude. If this was the only thing, it was annoying but not enough to prompt us to leave. In that first appointment with the doctor, we obviously had tons of questions (this is our first child). After my wife asked her questions, I chimed in and was promptly cut off by the doctor. My presence was mostly ignored, and I generally felt disrespected. In a subsequent appointment, the nurse came in first and then had us get our daughter dressed. Our baby was dressed when the doctor came in and looked at her, however she said twice before leaving, "You can get your baby dressed now". It seemed like she was not paying attention at all, or had so much on her plate that she was already mentally onto the next patient. Our daughter had slow weight gain, so we had several appointments just for weight checks. We had one appointment right at 8:30am when they opened, and waited close to an hour to be seen for what should have been a very quick appointment. The first appointment of the day shouldn't be double/triple booked! The final straw was when we had questions about vaccinations. We wanted to get all of the vaccinations, but have them spaced out by a few weeks so that she wouldn't receive all 4 in one day. The doctor told us that she wouldn't recommend it because she may contract whatever it was that she wasn't getting vaccinated against in those few weeks. She also said that they might accidentally "overvaccinate" her, or give her the same vaccinations twice. "Overvaccination" should not be an issue if you have an adequate record-keeping system. Although we didn't love this answer, we went to schedule her vaccinations at the 2 month mark. Turns out that they didn't have any appointments available until she was closer to 3 months. When we decided to find a new pediatrician and asked to have our records sent over, it took three separate follow-ups to have the records sent over. We have since found a pediatrician that doesn't make us feel rushed, kindly answers any/all of our questions and makes us feel like valued patients. Maybe our experience is not the norm, but new parents should know what they may be signing up for when they choose a doctor for their child.

He is funny and laid back and NEVER make me feel like poop over not being able to elusively breastfeed my twins (unlike the hospital staff where I delivered). I actually was able to do a free prenatal consult with him before the twins were born, and it gave me peace of mind (first time mom nerves). They do NOT accept unvaccinated patients, part of the reason I chose them. The building is dated, the exam rooms are small, and the layout can be a bit of a challenge to navigate with car seats (if you have a room in the back of the building, lots of turns, narrow hallways, etc.) However, all of that can be overlooked due to the care of the healthcare providers and friendliness of the front desk staff.
