Dr Friedman is just another pretentious doctor with no regard for other people's time, but his time ironically is very valuable. After being rescheduled because of this doctors valuable needs to reschedule on a whim, we were sent away for being one minute late over their ten minute buffer. We even had a call with the office who knew our timing. So to be sent away when an expectation was set is pretty gross. I cannot begin to count how many times my time hadn't mattered for doctors and just another example of entitlement. No regard for my work schedule or time. If you don't mind an egotistical man, Friedmans the one for you. read more

Vernon Hills location and doctors are horrible ,they misdiagnosed my 5 years old please run safe yourchild.do not give credit card on file

My daughter had a sick visit with Dr. Ward. We liked her so much I scheduled our yearly appointments with her. Unfortunately I received a call yesterday from the office manager saying we wouldn't be a good fit for the office and need to cancel my appointment due to not receiving a flu shot and HPV at 11years old. I spoke with 2 different women, I'm not sure which one was ruder! I think I dodged a bullet here! read more

Do not go here, you will eventually regret it. The nurse was new and terribly inadequate . Too much to explain, but a positive HIV result. The protocol they have in place is horrible. We went through 5 days of hell for the results from an outside lab. It was user error. It will not be removed from his chart. This will impact him for the rest of his life. Go with your teen to any appointments at this facility. I'm still wondering the purpose of a naked cannonball on the exam table. read more

I'm so disappointed and concerned about the care my son received at this location. We went in for a sick visit because our normal pediatricians office (newly owned by Dr. Friedman) was full so my son saw Dr. Oppenheim in VH, this Dr was awful at diagnosing my child and explaining to me what was going on with my sons health. Instead , Dr. Oppenheim said my 11 yr old child looked punky and spent about 5-7 min after my sons exam just typing in his laptop rather than discussing my sons care to me. I've never received such awful care for any of my 3 children. We Will never go back to this location ever again. read more

I've been taking my son here for 6years and my recently my newborn, never had a problem till now. If you miss an appointment because they have wrong contact information they charge you $50. They are the only practice I've ever seen hold a credit card on file so they can make automatic payments. Which they will do, medical bills included. There's no regard for your account balance either so you better have lots of money set aside!! Because they do not care about that. Also, if you have an order of protection regardless of you showing it to them, which you do not have to legally, they still will willingly give out your son's information to the one person who is a danger to him. The person who shouldn't make contact now knows where my son goes to school, as well as all his medical information, and my information as well including my phone number. I have never in my life seen such negligence in a practice. I would not recommend bringing your child here. And don't even call to remedy the situation the staff is all horrible with customer service unless you get the one European receptionist who is the only one that has sense she'll help you but she's the only one. The rest sound like it's their first day and give a you know what. I'm removing both of my children from this practice and will never ever ever ever go back. Horrible. Your practice should be absolutely ashamed. read more

Dr. Friedman and Dr. Bergmann were amazing. My low score is a result of the comment of Dr. Oppenheim. He was more concerned about ensuring that he got payment instead of our newborn's health. He literally said "I don't care if your son doesn't eat for a week, as long as you add him to your insurance." We never went back after that appointment. He was unnecessarily rough with our baby. I wish we had never went with this pediatrician. read more

Super happy with Premier Pediatrics! We highly recommend Dr. Friedman. He is personable, thorough and has always put our minds at ease with any questions or concerns regarding our baby. The office has also responded very well with after hours and tele-conference calls during COVID. We are very pleased and recommend this place! read more

Went through a bunch of practices before finding Dr Arie Friedman. He and his staff are the best! Dr Friedman is really smart and takes his time with each patient. Always listens to the problem and has solutions. Extremely thorough and is reasonable about prescription writing. I have found that a good medical office staff makes all the difference. This one is the best in every way. Friendly, patient and efficient. Love Erin and Jay! read more

Premier Pediatrics - Pediatricians Near Me - Vernon Hills, Illinois

Just came back from my son's 3 year old check up with Dr. Kristina ward, who is incredible! Both her and Margarita (nurse or medical assistant) were so patient and friendly to my stubborn 3 year old. I felt bad because we scheduled his appt during his nap time so I knew he would be quite uncooperative. But both Dr. Ward and Margarita both got him to cooperate most of the time! And he didn't even cry for his vaccine booster ! Amazing office and team. I would highly recommend Dr. Ward! read more

Some of the doctors here are great, but Dr. Friedman ruins it. He does not listen to his patients, talks over you, and is condescending towards parents, but more importantly isn't even that great with small kids. Was told one thing by a doctor at his practice, which he wouldn't follow through on because it's "not good medicine." read more

We love all of the doctors, nurses, and staff in this practice! They have a personalized approach to each child. We adopted a ten year old (internationally) and they went above and beyond in tailoring his care and creating a unique vaccination schedule for him. We have also added three babies and we have loved the knowledge they have given us and gained so much confidence as parents as a result of their wisdom! The staff does everything possible to get you an appointment as soon as possible and the after hours clinic is great when you need it! I highly recommend this practice! read more

Doctors are ok but the staff at the front desk is rude and cold, very unusual for a place that deals with children. They messed up twice recording data on the data sheet (baby head circumference and baby length) and sometime the waiting time is very long (over 40 min) even with no other patients around! The way the weigh your baby is also very uncomfortable and requires you to lay the baby on a scale almost at your shoulder level. The scale is not even within each doctors' room, and you need to walk the baby in diaper (only) in the hallway. They can be 40 min late to let you in despite of the appointment, but the front desk staff will "kick you out" if you are 15 min late yourself due to a reason they don't even care to ask. We switched to another pediatrician right away and we are very happy now. read more

As an out of towner with a sick kiddo, I was impressed how fast they saw us. Dr Arie was extremely nice, very thorough and we left at ease that our kiddo was just having a small viral infection. Would see again if the occasion cones up! read more

The Doctors and Staff here are amazing! they are organized, friendly and always happy to see you. Dr.Bergman is A Mommy and it shows in how caring and patient she is with my children! 5 Stars! read more

The doctors (and nurses) are wonderful. They're very friendly and take time to make sure kids and parents are comfortable and that all questions are answered. Plus, if you have a question that can't wait until morning, one of the doctors will call you back quickly so you don't have to wonder if a trip to the ER is necessary. I would (and have) recommended Dr. Friedman and Dr. Oppenheim to friends. Haven't met Dr. Bergman yet, but I'm sure she's great too! read more

This office is absolutely wonderful! All of the doctors are fantastic! The entire staff is devoted to our children. We have a complicated insurance that requires referrals to see specialist! Their nurses get things done so quickly!! When I had my son Dr. Bergman came to the hospital everyday and answered our questions. She really took the time to be with us and listen to our concerns. Dr. Bergman and her associates are well informed of many different topics. All 3 associates have always taken the time to discuss our child's health history and answer our concerns. I am parenting my second child yet I am still learning something new graciously every time we go for a check up! As a mother I know my children are in great hands with these doctors and nurses! Scheduling is very open and flexible! My husband and I wish we had found them sooner! read more

Have seen all the doctors, they are great. They remember the kids and make us feel at home.

Wonderful practice. Very friendly staff and doctors, very easy to make or change an appointment, no waiting time. I highly recommend it.

I truly recommend Premier Pediatrics. ALL the doctors are great. They care a lot about their patients and like others said: take time to listen to our concerns and questions. I have moved to many different cities and always remember their service. No other doctors have compared to them. I have met all three doctors and they are ALL very good. I appreciate that they would call us back when we have concerns even after office hours. We were first time parents and of course had many concerns that might have been to trivial. I hardly ever write reviews but I feel they deserve this posting :) read more
