I was told the doctor would not see my child since I had a vaccine exemption for my child (my…read morechild was vaccine injured and doctor was told). This is because, we now know, the doctors are all paid more if they have 100% compliance for vaccinations for all their patients. Recently at a congressional hearing we found out that pediatricians are being paid by the HMO insurance companies for vaccinating kids. Payment is $200-$600 per child. Many pediatricians making $1 million a year just for vaccinating kids. Practices must keep a certain percentage of patients at 100% vaccination rate to qualify for the payments. Pediatricians stop seeing kids as patients whose parents refuse vaccinations. This is not about health. It's about doctors and insurance companies making millions and billions per year each. It was crushing. My child's former pediatrician who assisted with the getting the exemption due to what he termed 'adverse reaction' and the exemption was granted, retired and moved out of state. He even called them but they would not honor his calling to talk to the new prospective doctor. They are monsters there.

When we were expecting our first, so many friends recommended Southwest Pediatrics to us! We went…read morefor a meet and greet with Dr. Shilpa and really felt comfortable with her. We also got great recommendations about their other doctors, too. I like that Dr. Shilpa is relatable (she seems to be around our age with a young kiddo as well) and she takes time to answer all of my questions (I come almost every time with a list of questions on my phone). She is patient in sharing her expertise and has a kind way of interacting with my child. Now after the birth of our second baby, Dr. Shilpa sees both kiddos. I like that the exchange is very accessible and easy to use. We've called many times during off hours to reach a nurse from Children's hospital. They'll either answer our questions immediately or they'll contact the on call pediatrician and then call us back. It's pretty straightforward to schedule a sick visit the same day, though if you call right at 8:30 when their phone lines open, you might have to wait on hold for a few minutes. The nurses and other staff are usually very pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend Southwest Pediatrics and especially Dr. Shilpa to anyone looking for a pediatrician in south city!

I went in to Dale Avenue for the 2nd half of baby's flu shot and was told they had canceled his appointment because his records were sent elsewhere. They never even told me this appointment was canceled and he's not a patient anywhere else currently (his records are being "reviewed"). So they are telling me he has no pediatrician. He should go to the health department for his other flu vaccine (um, they refer you to Walgreens for those and Walgreens is 3+). And if he gets sick next week??! What the actual hell. Update - still not too impressed with this place. As we've been in the lobby for 45 min waiting with a baby. I don't know why doctor offices are like this, especially ones that deal with young kids. It's extremely frustrating. I think it's time to look elsewhere. I brought my newborn in for his first appointment and waited AN HOUR for the doctor with him naked (and angry). I don't know if they had a mix up with the appointment time or of this is normal but I was outraged. To follow, Dr. O'Grady was very unlikeable. She was not relatable, seemed not present mentally, and not friendly. I wanted to love this all women practice and my baby's first appointment but I was so upset with the outcome. I may try another doctor or just move somewhere else. The office is quite lovely, however.
