DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS HERE!!!! THE NURSE SUPERVISOR MONICA(said she doesnt have to tell me her last name) IS AN AWFUL HUMAN BEING!! And needs to be fired immediately!!!!
To start daycare, my 4 month old needed a signed feeding form! Which was provided to me and i took up to the dr office to be signed. My children's peditrician, Dr. Anne kelly, was out and will be until 1/8/24. So i asked if they could just stamp it and have the peditrician's nurse sign as well. When i first came in there was a younger girl long brown hair who told me she didnt know if Dr. Kellys nurse would be in(but I called 15 min earlier to see if she was in and was good she was! Because they had to ask her about signing the form obviously!) and that to get this ONE SHEET of paper that only needed a stamp back it could take a week! (I am a single mom i dont have a week to miss work because of no childcare) So i stress to her the urgency and she comes back and says "oh her nurse is actually here ill see what i can do."
Next thing i know MONICA NO LAST NAME says
"Unfortunately since we havent seen Aubriella in 6 weeks we cant sign this form because her last wellness visit was missed and policy says we cant sign the form."
Mind you this is NOT a state seal form or government approved form! It is literally just a paper stating my daughter can eat 6oz of breastmilk every 3-4 hours at this specific daycare! I explain this to her and am told again that she cant sign the form. She said "we havent seen the child to know that this is an accurate amount for her to be eating so without her coming to a visit this isnt accurate to our record" etc. Aubriella was 15lbs a few weeks ago at her RSV follow up appointment(very healthy weight for her age) and in the 90th percentile for weight since birth! She is a chunky baby. The form filled out with the information was more than accurate for any baby that age or older! After she repeats herself to me explaining this, i ask to speak to an office manager or another doctor in the office so they can hear how INSANE it sounds to not sign this paper. She then says "no i will not let you speak to dr anne kellys nurse because theres nothing she can do for you and a doctor either!"
At this point i am so angry that a woman in a PEDIATRICS office is acting like this to another WOMAN. So i say "You not signing this is denying my daughter to be fed at daycare so what am i supposed to do? She is your guys patient this is so cruel! I am a single mom my kids need to go to daycare. I cant afford to not work and pay bills!" She says "Well im not saying you shouldn't feed her, but you'll just have to stay home until the 15th of january when you can bring her in for a wellness visit. i am not signing the form."
Now im furious!!! Who looks someone in their face and is that rude? Who tells someone that? How unprofessional and how disturbing is it that someone like that is allowed to work in a pediatrician office! Even the older front desk lady was apologizing to me!(not the young one that had attitude).
When i ask for her name she says "Monica" i then ask "what is your last name?" And she says "im not giving you my last name." And looks me up and down. So i say "okay i can figure it out im sure the office has a directory." And she says "good luck!" So then i say, "im reporting you!" And she says "i suggest you get a new pediatrician! How about that?"
I am so mad and am going to report her! To deny me to speak to a doctor is against parental patient rights, and to not even try to help me was insane! I will never take wither of my daughters back there and when their doctor gets back i will let her know how her patients are treated when she is gone.
Monica. White slender woman. Short pink pixie cut! Worst nurse I've ever encountered shouldn't be managing anything! read more
