I honestly cannot say enough good things about this practice and we have been going here for over a…read moredecade. The providers are excellent and highly committed to their patients (& parents). Whether routine care or more serious issues, I have found quality and compassion from every provider in the practice, particularly Dr. Walters who has helped me manage several issues with my child. We recently had to see Dr. Gonzalez for an issue, and again, 100% satisfaction, caring and compassion. Not sure what issues others have had as my 2 children and I have always had positive experiences with everyone at the office.

My experience with this medical practice was profoundly disappointing and fell substantially below…read morethe standard of professionalism, clinical judgment, and patient-centered care that any family is entitled to expect. After this experience, I have no confidence in this practice and cannot recommend it to others. The primary concern arose from the physician's interaction with my child. Throughout the appointment, I observed conduct that I considered inappropriate and inconsistent with the professional standards expected of a licensed healthcare provider. My child became visibly distressed and increasingly apprehensive during the encounter. When we communicated our intention to conclude the visit, I did not believe that our decision, concerns, or parental authority were afforded the level of respect they deserved. Every parent has the right to advocate for their child, and every healthcare professional has a corresponding obligation to respect those decisions while ensuring that patients are treated with dignity, courtesy, and professionalism. Equally concerning was the conduct of the office staff. Communication was dismissive, professionalism was lacking, and legitimate concerns were not addressed with the seriousness or respect expected in a medical environment. Rather than demonstrating empathy, accountability, and effective communication, the overall experience reflected a troubling absence of professionalism. The cumulative effect was a complete erosion of confidence in the practice's ability to provide competent and respectful patient care. Medical professionals occupy positions of significant public trust. That trust requires unwavering adherence to professional ethics, respectful communication, sound clinical judgment, and an unwavering commitment to the welfare and dignity of every patient. Those fundamental expectations were not met during our visit. A healthcare setting should foster confidence, reassurance, and respect; instead, this experience left our family with profound disappointment and serious concerns regarding the practice's standards of patient care. As a direct consequence of this experience, I will not be returning to this office under any circumstances, nor can I recommend this practice to other patients or families seeking professional medical care. I strongly encourage the practice to undertake a comprehensive review of its standards of professionalism, patient communication, and physician-patient interactions to ensure that future patients receive the level of respect, consideration, and care that should be regarded as the minimum standard within any medical practice. This experience was entirely unacceptable and has fundamentally undermined my confidence in this practice. It is my sincere hope that meaningful corrective action is taken to address these concerns and to prevent other families from encountering a similar experience.

It really is as good of a primary health practice as you can get without having your own private…read moredoctor. Both of our daughters have been patients here from birth. They have a primary care physician assigned - Dr. Sexter - but they have at some point or another been seen by all of their physicians. Every one of them are great: kind, compassionate, attentive, and responsive. You will feel heard and they will address your concerns. Their knowledge and expertise is extraordinary. The office - staff and doctors - are also super responsive. If you have a pressing question, someone will get back to you that day. If it's an after hours emergency, there is always a doctor on call and they will respond within 30 minutes. The doctors hold daily office hours but it can be tricky to get a hold of them if they're experiencing a volume of calls. An extra perk I like is that they keep appointments available daily for those common but unplanned for illnesses, and they have a separate waiting room for sick vs not sick. It just runs so well you wonder why more doctors' offices don't do the same. Now of course, the one downside is they are out of network. It's not cheap. I think it's worth it if you can, but financially it can hurt if your kids have a lot of illnesses or shots in a limited period of time. They do at least submit the insurance forms for you, and that helps some. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice and all the doctors in it, and have a deep appreciation for how Dr. Sexter and Nurse Jennifer have taken care of our girls.

He has been practicing for several years and was recently named to the Washington Best Doctors. I am really pleased with the way he runs his practice, and with his view and approach to medicine. He is amazing with kids--friendly, quick, and my son really likes him (my daughter is a newborn and she likes everyone :) He is great about screenings and making sure, developmentally, your child is on track, but he does not intervene when not medically necessary. He explains everything to you in a way that you can understand but without being patronizing. Even though I was a second time parent with my baby, he still explained things in a way that made me feel at ease and "reminded," which is great because some people just expect that you will remember! Wait times are excellent. Maybe about 5 minutes or sometimes less. Also, he has individual buckets of toys for kids, which helps maintain the mess, and probably makes cleaning easier. The exam rooms are incredible. He has themed rooms---a firetruck room where the bed is a firetruck! There are orange cones, real vintage fireman hats on the wall, and little fire trucks and extinguishers for cabinet fixtures. He has a jungle room where the table is an elephant, and two new rooms that may not yet be finished--a train and a cafe. The technology is state of the art, and he tries to run things on an electronic health record system, which I LOVE! He monitors progress through an online CHADIS questionnaire, and keeps electronic records. He does print out material for you to take home, which is an important sign of a good primary care provider. We have never had an issue getting a sick appointment when we need one. He somehow manages to fit us in. Between two kids, this is really important. Also, his staff is excellent. His nurse is kind, sweet, and great with kids. On top of that, she is good and quick with the shots, which I really appreciate. Leslie, his front desk/office manager is quick, kind and efficient. I find that either you have a great doctor and an "okay staff" or the other way around. it is so nice to have both!!! Overall, you can't go wrong with Dr. Hirsch. We are truly very happy with him and his office!

Everyone is so nice and helpful, from front door, receptionist to the doctor. They have great policy for COVID-19 .We wait in my car till our room is ready. And they ensure no one is in the hallway when we walk in. What I love this place most is not only all doctors has tons of experiences and knowledge, also doctor takes time to listen to our concerns. My visit with other pediatrician places only give us 10 min with doctor. This place the doctor can spend an 1 hour during visit to carefully go through everything, and explained to me. we never feel rushed. My 1 year old's pediatrician is Dr. Matty. My little guy always get scared of doctor visit, but Dr. Matty is very patient, and tried to cheer him up, and also gave me time to comfort my little one if he cried too much. Dr. Matty is also an allergist, which gave great advice for us. We have also seen all other doctors, everyone is so professional, kind and nice. When my little one hurt his arm twice in a row, we were able to bring him in right away to check up. As a new mom, it always hurt when i see my little one cried during vaccine. But the nurses here is very gentle. Just LOVE how everyone cares here!! Also they do take our insurance and file claim for us. We are so lucky to be the patients here and I can see us to be with them years to come.

I've had a very frustrating experience with Growth and Wellness Pediatrics, LLC. Scheduling with…read moreour actual pediatrician is extremely difficult--she is always booked out, and we often end up seeing a random provider instead. Unfortunately, those visits have felt rushed and lacking basic bedside manner, which is not what you want when it comes to your child's care. On top of that, I submitted required school health forms and was later charged a $20 fee without ever being informed ahead of time. The documentation they provided actually lists the fee as $15, yet they still charged the higher "updated" amount without any notice or consent. I had multiple interactions with the office (calls, in-person, and email), and at no point did their medical assistant, Casey, or anyone else mention a cost or price increase. Patients should not be expected to pay fees that were never disclosed or agreed to. This experience wasn't about the money--it's about transparency, communication, and quality of care. Unfortunately, this practice fell short on all three. I hope they take steps to improve both their patient communication and overall experience.
