Dr Thomas is who I chose as a pediatrican for my daughter --- after calling several offices and…read morereading review and bio's online, I decided to interview him in person. He works with a practice -- PreMed which has multiple locations around Dayton, he works 4 days a week in Huber Heights and 1 day a week in Kettering I believe. Not only did I find him very professional --- his whole philosophy is that both the Dr and the parent should be an advocate for the child -- but after deciding to use him he has been great with my daughter. We had some weight issues with her after her birth and he and his staff worked with me to make sure we got her on track. I was there about every 3 days for about the first 3 weeks so I can tell you that all the nurses and staff I saw were great! He even called me on a Saturday to follow up, as I had seen his nurse and not him the previous Wed (and not him)... I was floored! What Dr. calls you at home without you first calling him?!? He is very cautious and will tell you that he leans on being very conservative as he doesn't want to overlook any issues --- and he encourages you to bring a list of questions for him to each appointment. As a new mom this is GREAT for me! I would highly recommend him.

Our kids have been patients at Pediatric Associates of Dayton for 10 years, and we have found the…read morestaff to be attentive and compassionate. I have at times wished they knew more about specific conditions and I do agree with the other reviews that it's hard to get a hold of them, especially for scheduling sick appointments or getting vaccination records. I am eagerly waiting for them to be reachable via MyChart, which is actually why I am leaving a review. I noticed that they don't have resources on autism on their website [They have patient education resources on ADHD, impetigo, puberty, and more, for context). I would have emailed them about it, but there is no clear way to do this.

The Doctors we've seen are great but the vast majority of nonclinical and clinical staff have…read moreattitudes and aren't helpful in any sense. We've had to reschedule before due to their lack of keeping track how often our kids could have a vaccine (wasted hours plus drive not counting the time taken from work). They are on a paper system with no digital website to track appointments or tests or what not. When you need to schedule an appt good luck without sitting on hold for half an hour. Need to ask a question of the clinical staff for symptoms your child is experiencing? Then you better get ready to be disregarded. Looking to get in and out of appointments? Better block out at least 2 hours of time at being inside their facility. Want the nurse to come back quickly and give your child shots? Better start the clock because every time it's at least 30 minutes before they come back into the room once the Dr leaves. Highly frustrated with this place. The only saving grace is the doctors. Don't get me started on the sign that says to be nice to their staff and they are short staffed. Who isn't short staffed, do your job right and you won't hear anyone being frustrated with your practice! If you have endless amounts of time to wait for everything related to this place and want attitude 80% of the time along with it. This place is for you.

Do not even think about this place if you are seeking a pediatric physician group! We were patients…read morefor many years. Thankfully we did not have to use them for anything major. However, recently our daughter became ill and we made an appointment. We were not allowed to see a physician because the first thing they do is try to pawn you off to a nurse practitioner. That would not have been bad, however, the nurse practitioner was unable to figure out what the illness was. She ordered increasingly expensive and invasive testing. We refused to take the nurse practitioner's suggestions and asked to see and actual physician. We were told,through a secretary that no physician in the office would see us because they depend on the advice of the nurse practitioner. We immediately made an appointment with another physician practice and that physician immediately diagnosed bronchitis and gave her an antibiotic which cleared up her illness immediately. In their to quest to shuttle loyal patients to non-doctors and to avoid giving out antibiotics, they lose sight of the individual patient. Our daughter had not had antibiotics for years. There was no reason for us to spend thousands of dollars on x-rays and ultrasounds when one round of antibiotics cleared up the whole problem. This practice is all about money. The welfare of patients does not even rate a close second in importance. Avoid this place.

They both go above and beyond to help us. My son has had some very debilitating headaches, and they compassion is next level. I would recommend the neurology clinic at Children's to anyone that asks. They are always offering extra resources and way to help him, and even help us with dealing with other issues not directly related to the migraines, like having the psychologist come in to talk about getting him additional help with learning to manage his pain.

They forgot and it's a hunch because it doesn't take 2 weeks to get a form back and the fact that I called her previous pediatrician to verify if anything was received was enough. Well 3 weeks later and nothing. I waited and wasted 3 weeks for my daughter not to be seen and miss her vaccines.

The worse thing iEvery time I i need to call to seR my doctor the worst people I encounter are the front two people sitting at the front windows of this drs office. Their names are Julie & Amy are the absolute rudest receptionists I have EVER encountered at any drs office in the entire Miami Valley. Neither of them want to be bothered by any patients whatsoever ... they also do not work there hardest to get you in to see a dr EVER. Does NOT matter how sick any of you or any of your kids are. I do not recommend this place nor any doctors here. The drs are not successful here because of there RUDE staff! ... when or if I am reluctant to call them -one of us MUST BE truly in need DESPERATELY to see the dr or nurse - we R VERY SICK!! Heck with trying to follow up on any other illnesses; or needs. This IS just how awful the staff are there. Including the office manager. She has sent my family letters that most any other drs in this universe would NEVER send to their patients. This is worst situation to be in ever. I truly do not think or believe that these drs are aware that their staff (that mainly answer their phones & see people first once anyone walks in) are terribly horrible people. I am hopeful that anyone with in their Administration at the big Kettering hospital will read this and take heed by helping this (our) community center drs office clean out the bad employees. Kindly. Otherwise if this continues to drag on; I will send a letter to the hospital. I would highly suggest any administrator with Kettering Health look in to this immediately.
