Extremely convenient in times of panic. I've been here about 6 times and they're never busy. Wait time's usually just 1-10 minutes. They offer flu swab testing, Covid-19 swab and blood (serum) testing, X-rays, urine analysis, and more. They have a huge waiting room, honor social distancing, and offer plenty of hand sanitizer by the entrance and after you check in on a small screen. Any pediatrician we've seen has always been able to determine the issue with my kids without having to refer us elsewhere. NOTES/TIPS: **For milder issues, I recommend this spot over the ER due to a shorter wait time and lower cost. **Plenty of parking in a shared lot, and in the same plaza as Kidoolo and right after BMW Springfield on the Eastbound side of Rte. 22 **They offer telehealth service like videochat with a Pediatrician 8am-Midnight. read more

I drove 25 minutes with a 3 month old in distress, and I arrived 20 minutes before closing and was told to take her somewhere else because the doctor already has 2 other patients to see, and she's not taking anymore walk-ins. This is after calling prior to my arrival to confirm their hours, and being told they are open for another hour. I do not recommend this provider. read more

Front staff is great but they open at 9 never pick up phone also slow to perscribe actual medicine been there 3 times for same thing still no results. read more

Digusting service and facility. The receptionist refused service since she claimed there was no card on file when there was one as we have went several times to pm (now never again). I did not have my wallet on me and they refused to see my son! I had Apple Pay for the co pay and they had my insurance info. Disgusting office and unethical to refuse service for such a stupid reason. Unprofessional and clearly do not care about kids! read more

Dr Maria Cerdena should not practice medicine. While the facility was cute for kids, the experience was awful. We brought our baby in and instead of diagnosing what was wrong with our kid (high fever, reflux, etc) her comments were offensive and cruel. She did not offer any insights other than "go to your pediatrican, your kid has issues and delays." (she implied he was on the spectrum) We were there for about 15 minutes and she had the nerve to not only misdiagnose, she criticized a sick baby and his parents in a matter of 8 minutes. (7 were spent with her nursing staff.) STAY AWAY from her and this place. She will be reported. read more

Staff is very rude especially the woman behind the front desk . We walked in before closing tonight. We did TeleMed first at around 6:30pm and they told me to go in. I explained to the doctor I would not be able to go in right away and she said go in when you can whether it's tonight or tomorrow. My daughter's temperature was really high 102.4 so we decided to go in . We arrived at 9:25 PM The woman behind the desk was not going to let us see the doctor because they were closing in 30 minutes. After explaining 10 times I started to raise my voice and she threatened to call the police. I plan on calling corporate tomorrow to let them about my horrible experience. She also turned an infant away that should have been seen. She was complaining that she needed to go home. I'm sorry you are in the medical field and you have to work on Mother's Day but you are very rude and showed no compassion whatsoever. To the woman behind the front desk ....hopefully this never happens to your child . Have some compassion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would give them zero stars but this website is making me give them at least one . read more

PM Pediatric Urgent Care - Pediatricians Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

It's like a scam when you go there in the late evening. They have big signs that x ray on site and they are open till 10pm. But when you go late like after 9pm, no technician. And if you try to call them before you drive up there, the phones are not picked up. The automated line will say "all our services are on website". But that is not the truth. These services are available when possible for them, not when we need them. read more

I will never come here again. Waited well over an hour past the appointment time. Unacceptable.

Never have any openings. Doesn't matter what season. Staff out front are rude. And their "app" doesn't actually work with their system is what I was told. Was able to get a 430 appt 2 days later for my son. 4:30 actually meant 7pm apparently. The app said were up next and I watched 3 other families go in - because the app doesn't work with their system. Going to have to find an alternative. Our normal pediatrician - Navesink - doesn't allow future appointments, it's either you hope to get an appt that day or you try again later. The doctors themselves at both places are great and nice. The staff is rude. I'm not being rude, but they immediately act like that's where you're going. Your policies are dumb and if your system doesn't work - don't use it. read more

I am writing an updated review of PM pediatrics. My 1st review was 6 years ago when they were doing a great job! Unfortunately, over the years that which made it a godsend has come up short. It seems small, but when we come here the TV's in the waiting room are no longer on, they got rid of the screen that shows the line, and the wait time with an appointment is completely terrible. At 3:30 I made an appointment for 6:22 the same day. We arrived at 6:20 and checked in. We were not seen until 7:45! This is unacceptable. When I asked I was told they "fell behind". What that meant I have no idea. Waiting with a sick 10yo for this long is absurd. I understand being slightly delayed, but this amount of time is unacceptable. The doctors & staff are fantastic, but theses wait times must be addressed. read more

We visited the Pompton Plains, NJ last night after fearing my daughter broke her foot. The girl at the front desk was very sweet and helpful. However, the doctor was completely useless. Her examination was poking her pointer finger on the top of my child's foot asking "Does this hurt?" That was it.... the entire exam. We had asked for an X-ray since my daughter was in excruciating pain and could barely walk or put weight on it. After the X-ray she popped in and said "It's not broken, maybe try soaking it in warm water." She didn't offer to wrap it or give any advise for pain relief. I tried to ask questions such as returning to sports/gym. She simply shrugged her shoulders and repeated "It's not broken" Needless to say, now I'm making an appointment with an actual orthopedic. Don't waste your time here unless you want to waste money, be dismissed and literally get NO answers on how to help your child. read more

I went to take my daughter with a slight fever they had all my info lady tells me she needs a credit card on file in case my insurance didn't cover I said don't you verify insurance but ok I don't have my purse on me can I pay the visit cash are there any options she laughs and says no mind you my daughter is in pain for my mental sake and not going to jail I just left read more

I read the reviews and was hesitant when I saw so many negative comments and now understand why... my husband brought our sick toddler as we have a newborn at home and trying to take the proper precautions and was asked to come back 2-hours later. Why would you ever suggest a sick child go in and out of the cold multiple times in 1-day?! Worst pediatric facility we have ever been to... fair warning to other parents. read more

I bought my daughter here at 8:30pm on the Sunday we was the only blacks in the building and we was turned away. The worst pm pediatric urgent care ever. In order to post a view u have to put up a star. Trust me it ain't worth a star. read more

PM Pediatric Urgent Care - THE LADY IN THE FRONT DESK SAID NO MORE people go to the emergency room... - Pediatricians Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

When I complained about the medication syringe on the floor and she's grabbed it with her bear hands and threw it away. Opened the rear door and walked a patient in. Didn't use a glove or paper towel to pick an item off the floor nor did she use the hand sanitizer before opening the door. Need to hire. Cleaning staff and re-educate their staff. read more

I brought my 7th month old there because she had a fever of 102-103. I was attended by Dr. Fishkind. It was Feb 19th the day it snowed heavily. He seemed annoyed that I would bring my daughter there for a check up "just for a fever" because "Its common for babies to have fevers". He asked / stated "Did you call your regular Dr"? - I said "No, this place is closer to where I live and I wanted to bring her in" "It's snowing and dangerous out there, you shouldn't be on the road" I don't understand why a business exists if they don't appreciate their customers. Whether she has a cough, fever, is acting grumpy, or just seems off, It is my business if I want to bring my child in for a review or check up with a Dr. and I am more than happy to pay for this service. Apparently they don't appreciate my patronage and I will look for alternatives for my child when I need a walk in clinic. Pro's - Facilities were nice and the receptionist attended well read more

Called yesterday on 12/09/22 to be seen as my son was sick and deteriorating and needed help. When I called to make an appointment the lady on the phone seemed annoyed like I was bothering her to come in - sorry my son is sick but okay. When we arrive, what she didn't tell me on the phone was that the doctor was in surgery. She then says we aren't sure if we can see you and we close at midnight while being rude, ridiculing me for bothering her. I just wanted my sick son to get some help. This place should be closed - they're awful, disrespectful staff makes it unbearable. Just go to a hospital since New Brunswick is a hospital hub and don't waste your time here or you'll be made to feel like the idiot for having a sick kid read more

When you're a working mom, a place like PM Pediatrics is a lifesaver! They have gotten us through it all, from the benign allergy to the frightening (lice.....) to the emergency (ear completely clogged with wax). Can't say enough about Dr. Zimm. She is patient, kind, funny, and above all, thorough. We wish she could be our pediatrician!!! read more

Yesterday I took my grandson Bryce's into P M pediatrics because he was coughing. I had a 540 appointment and I came a little early to see if I could be seen sooner the front desk. Young lady was very helpful and she put me right in my grandson was in and out of the facility prior to his original appointment. They did a strep test on my grandson and it came back positive and they ordered a prescription for him and sent it over to the pharmacy. I really appreciate P M pediatrics for their ability to diagnose and treat a patient. I would consider taking my grandson every time he's not feeling well to P M pediatrics. They are an excellent facility to take care of our children I highly recommend. read more

Do not take your child here for COVID testing. I took him in and got a test at 3pm and was told by Erin I would have the results the next day in the afternoon. I called 24 hours later, and whoever answered the phone said that was false and that no person in their office would ever say that because it takes 2-3 days. This place is a mess, this is the second time I get him a COVID test there (and the LAST). The first time it took 8 days to get a result. How are we suppose to have him miss 2-3 days of school if this is how they run tests? They falsely advertise rapid testing. read more

the Springfield location on 22 was great wait time wasn't long and the ppl that work there are so nice and friendly so happy I came here because my daughter office was closed and everything got taken care of thank you so much my daughter Janessa also liked the place and she was the patient.. thank you so much keep up the good work !! read more

We were told PCR tests would be roughly 24 hours and we are now approaching 72 hours which means the test is irrelevant. Search elsewhere....this place just wants the billing. read more

What a waste of time. I went to riverside urgent care in cedar knolls and was turned away because they don't take 7.5 month olds. I was told to goto PM pediatrics. My son had a fever of 102 and it was a Sunday and I wasn't going to wait till Monday to take him to the pediatrician. After carting him to PM pediatrics I was told they met capacity for walk ins...isn't that what you are a WALK IN facility. And to make an appointment the first available was 8:30 pm it was noon. I've never been turned away. I will never go back. read more

On 9/5/21 we went there because my daughter was congested and had a sore throat. We wanted to make sure it washad insurance coverage, but did not have cards yet. I gave the front desk the name of the insurancn't covid because we didn't want her infecting anyone. Ownership at my job had just changed on 9/1. We e company but could not provide an ID number. I was charged $100 at the time of the visit. Subsequently, I provided the insurance ID number at least 3 times after that visit. Now, on 5/10/23. I am told my credit card will be charged $230 for the visit read more

If I could give a ZERO rating I would. I checked in tonight at 8 pm and the waiting room was packed and the receptionists gave us no more indication that the wait was over 1 hour!! DO NOT GO HERE GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE! Medemerge is so much better and worth the drive to Greenbrook,NJ and they see kids!!! read more

They absolutely do NOT honor appointments for Covid testing at this location so based on true experience I would strongly suggest that folks go elsewhere. They are staffed with only one doctor for the many would-be patients thereby forcing those in waiting to leave after spending 3 hours waiting - 2 hours after being processed. The lady at the front desk that processed me was exceptional but it went downhill from there. As I said waiting 3 hours was just too much for me. I will likely not be returning to this place or bring my kids there anymore. A patient with a baby experiencing 103 temperature had to wait 2 1/2 hours and still ended up leaving out of frustration of not being able to see the doctor. ZERO STARS IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE! read more

I brought my son in after a sudden high fever early evening. Everything upon check in was fine. Receptionist was friendly. When the doctor came in, she seemed friendly enough (and I know how busy they can get). But when she started examining my 3 year old and looked in his ears for infection, he wiggled so much that it would have been hard for her to get a good look. She said there was no ear infection, but I politely asked if she would check one more time just to sure, and she said she would have seen it but if I really needed her to she would. I was taken aback by her rudeness. But when she looked in my baby's ears the second time, she shoved her light in so deep and was pulling on his little ears so hard. I had to say you can stop now. I've been so furious over this. I'll look back for the name of that awful doctor and write in here ASAP. read more

Huge mistake going to this office for COVID test. We made an appointment online, filled all the paperwork ahead of time. After arriving on time we had to wait for 45 minutes to be put in a room to be seen first by a nurse, who took blood pressure (?) and then did the swabs. She told us to wait for the doctor without explaining why. At that moment, we have been waiting for over an hour since appointment time just trying to get a COVID test! We had to leave without seeing a doctor because the wait was just too much for absolutely no reason ( they probably try to milk insurance for " seeing a doctor "). Got a call from them an hour later saying that they can't send the swabs to the lab because we didn't see a doctor! What a waste of time! read more

Took my daughter here for the first time. They have digital check in which is cool and convenient. I was in and out within an hour. That's a great first impression! I will recommend this urgent care to everyone! read more

Disappointed, why would you overbook if you don't have the staff. I was waiting over an hour for a SCHEDULED appointment. Ridiculous.

Omg this is soooooo horrible! Two hours waiting and the receptionist this ridiculously rude. Quoting an hour wait time and we are going on 2 hours...this was with an appointment. Avoid this place. If I hadn't already invested nearly 2 hours I would have left and this place is not one we will come back to. read more

We are out of town and our youngest son developed fever for 3 days. We made the drive from Elizabeth and it was completely worth it. The facility is clean and inviting for children and our wait was less than 20 minutes for a walk-in. We were seen by the doctor fairly quickly and he was diagnosed with an ear infection. I am glad they have facilities like these available when you have an emergency. read more

4/2/17 Yelp needs to create a zero star rating. Bc this is the rating this place deserves. Awful experience today. I brought my child who's been sick with diarrhea into pm pediatrics (first time visit to this practice) to see a doctor and instead of providing him with great care - the nurse practitioner injured my sons ear canal while checking his ears. First of all to anyone who goes to this practice - you don't see a doctor! You get a nurse practitioner! If I had known a doctor wasn't going to see my child I wouldn't have came here in the first place. The practice should have informed the patient the option of seeing a nurse practitioner or a doctor. I wasn't given the option! What an awful practice. You pay good money on your insurance and you end up seeing a nurse. I'm very disappointed. In the four years that my son has seen a doctor - not one time has a nurse or a doctor EVER nicked the inside of his ear canal and caused it to bleed! (I discovered the bleeding after I went home and inspected my child's ear and cleaned it with a q tip and all I saw was blood - I'm glad she didn't pop his ear drum) I called to complain about what had happened - the nurse Jaclyn was very apologetic (she had given him Motrin earlier in the office to ease the ear pain after my son was crying profusely about ear pain). And we couldn't figure out why?! That was her remedy. Motrin to fix the injury. I appreciate her apology but I am very disappointed this happened in the first place when it shouldn't have happened. Maybe if the doctor (quinones)on duty was seeing his share of patients instead of putting it all on the nurse practitioner - this wouldn't have happened and the nurse wouldn't feel rushed to do an exam and injure a patient accidentally! That's what I think. Apparently after speaking with the doctor on duty - nicking a child in the ear canal during a routine ear exam is "common" and it's also common practice that a doctor doesn't see a patient instead a nurse does most of the work. This practice needs an over haul and the team needs to not treat the practice as a factory - patient in patient out. Treat your patients with "patience"! And maybe you won't hurt a child the next time. Thanks for making me feel like an awful parent who's child was already sick and to add to that awfulness - he gets injured for seeing the doctors who were supposed to help him feel better! Parents are relying on medical professionals to provide the best care possible and not be treated as just a paycheck. Remember your Hippocratic oath the next time you care for your patients. The only good thing about this place was the receptionist. Kudos to her for being friendly professional and helpful. The facility was very nice new and clean. read more

PM Pediatric Urgent Care - Bloody q tips from his ear injury. - Pediatricians Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

PM Pediatrics have been excellent to us. We've been there 4 times this year. Our main visit was when my son broke out in consistent hives from eczema and could not find a solution. The doctor at PM gave us better suggestions then the 3 specialists we spoke with earlier. My son's rashes have disappeared and been gone for months now. Every other visit was met with positive results and sound advice. I would recommend PM to anyone. read more

I scheduled an appt for my toddler through their online portal and waited over an hour to be seen. The receptionist was rude and unapologetic when I asked about the wait time. I will not be returning. If you think that this will be "faster" than going to your normal doctor, think twice. read more

My 2 year son hurt his arm tonight so we brought him there to get an X-ray. We literally got turned around at the door when we arrived because we didn't have an online appointment. Said they weren't taking walks ins. Meanwhile their website says "walk ins only" for today no online appointments available. IsN't the ability to walk in the whole point of urgent care? PM pediatrics front desk didn't seem to care. Guess compassionate healthcare no longer matters at PM pediatrics Springfield. What a disappointment. read more

They have everything to be a successful and effective pediatric urgent care. I took my toddler daughter for a feet injury and wanted to make sure everything was okay. They got her fully checked up, x-Ray done and report reviewed in reasonable time. I am extremely satisfied with this after hours Urgent Care. This is a much better alternative to an over-expensive and often ineffective emergency services. read more

I am so comfortable taking my children here. I've been for high fevers and infections but recently for an accident. We walked in as an emergency and we were helped and brought back so fast.

PM Pediatric Urgent Care - Best experience! - Pediatricians Near Me - Springfield, New Jersey

I recently was here for the third time. Every experience I have had at PM Pediatrics has been phenomenal. From the moment you walk in the door the staff is warm and inviting. They always put you at ease and make you feel calm, even with a sick child. The office is extremely clean and kid friendly. Every exam room has its only theme and television that makes my kids feel less anxious about going to the doctor. Every visit I have met a different Doctor, they have all been wonderful. They interacted so well with my kids, meanwhile explaining everything they are doing to me and my children in a way they can understand. The check out is super fast and the electronically send all prescriptions, and complete with lollipops and stickers!!!! As horrible as the experience of having a sick child is, PM Pediatrics makes it a little easier! read more
