Updating an old review as this continues to be a great doctors office if I may say so. I went to…read moreDr. Waters growing up here, and flash forward a few decades and our kids see Dr. Ragsdale. Everything has been great so far. Parking: Adjacent garage that's usually easy to get a spot in, despite being a congested area with hospitals around. The elevators in the garage look the exact same as when I was a kid and that's not necessarily a good thing. Definitely not made for the claustrophobic; I take the stairs even when hauling my little chubster in a car seat. Office: Nice, friendly and efficient. I've yet to wait well beyond my appointment time. Hours: Another plus, they have weekend hours although we haven't had to take them up on the offer yet. Quality: Top-notch. Great doctors across the board and a place you can trust. While we're fortunate to have only had to go here for check-ups and shots, it's been a five star experience so far and it was an easy decision to come here. The only universal law is that you're bound to catch some kinda germ or bug in the lobby here in the winter, so wash your hands!

He also make good decisions in regards to our child and his care. He was so kind when he came to the hospital after delivery. He had read our chart and was giving us specific care based on it. He acknowledges my husband which is a big deal since most female drs do not when they are tending to our child. He had a style that makes you feel comfortable. The office makes it easy and I barely deal with them. I just pay my bill online and then when you have an appointment you call them and they tell you which room to go to. I cannot say enough about how much I recommend Dr. Lively and the other Drs.

My husband's coworker recommended this place and I called to set up a free prenatal visit to meet the newborn team and see if it would be a good fit. The moment I called to set up this appointment I knew we would be in good hands. The receptionist was so unbelievably sweet! Great first impression! We met with Mindy, the lactation consultant, and Janice Martin, MD. We left the visit knowing this would be the place! Fast forward and now our little girl is 2 months old and I am still singing praises for Pediatric Care Specialist. Mindy was such a vital support for my family during the tough few weeks of attempting to breast feed. She even gave me her home phone number over the Christmas holiday-- who does that? So thankful for her help! We ended up switching to see one of their nurse practitioners, Megan McGown, because she saw us during our first visit and we fell in love! She is so encouraging, gentle, and patient! She answers all our questions-- and we have a lot as new parents! Such a relief to find a place that we feel confident taking our little one to for the next 18 years!

It was a haul from our house, but worth it for her safety and eventual peace of mind. CMH has a great reputation across the KC region, and I had no idea they even had a location up north here on Barry Road. It's kind of a random spot; I was expecting a full-blown hospital but it's sort of positioned in the back of a quiet strip mall. Easy in and out at least. You can check in on a computer when you walk in, and there are people around in case there are any issues. In our case, a bone in her elbow had separated, but almost miraculously gone back in right at the start of the appointment. So basically, it's like when you take the car into the shop and it stops making the noise and is fixed. Luckily the doctor explained exactly how this takes place, what to look for, and we were happily on our way. Overall a nice experience here and appreciate having them in the area in case things go down.

She came to the hospital the day after my daughter was born to meet her, and do an initial exam. We loved her immediately, as I'm sure all her patients do. It is 12 years later, and we could not be happier with our experiences there. Dr. Glotzbach takes the time to get to know her patients very well. We never feel rushed, as I have felt with my own doctor. My daughter literally likes going to the doctor! I cannot say the same about my pediatrician as a child. Dr. Glotzbach truly goes above and beyond.

My kids have literally grown up seeing her for checkups and emergency visits. The lobby and waiting areas are divided into "well child" and "sick child" areas. This is nice when you are here for a checkup or other exam. The nurses are nice too. I've had issues with front desk staff before, but only one person. One lady is particularly rude on the phone and can be a real turnoff. Other than her, the rest of the staff is professional and friendly. If you are in this area, I would fully recommend this practice.

As a longtime patient with three children at this practice, I reached out privately with a…read morerespectful message after seeing the office post political content--despite stating that politics don't belong in healthcare. Instead of responding professionally, I was blocked. This is the same office that closely followed CDC guidelines during COVID--masking young children, supporting school closures, and encouraging vaccinations for kids. Whether you agree with those policies or not, they had a major impact on children and families. Now, when parents raise thoughtful questions about rising autism diagnoses or unexplained health concerns in kids and teens, there seems to be little willingness to engage in open, honest dialogue. Parents deserve providers who listen, communicate, and respect diverse concerns--not ones who shut down the conversation entirely. If your pediatrician can't engage respectfully with longtime families, it may be time to find one who will.

We absolutely love Summit Pediatrics! Stacy and Megan are so amazing with my kiddos. They make a…read morewonderful team! Megan always starts the visit with "what questions or concerns do you have?" rather than "do you have any questions?". It's a small difference but it has always made me feel welcome and heard because they listen to and address all my questions, no matter how many I have. I am often alone with 2 little kids and Megan will always jump in to help entertain my toddler. Stacy always takes time to address all of my questions and concerns. I never feel rushed during our appointments and she always has great suggestions if there are things we are struggling with. Stacy and Megan are always excited to see my kids. I truly feel like my kids are loved and cared for so well by them. Even Angie at the front desk is excited when we come in. She has always been great to work with over the phone and can always get us in quickly when needed. Cannot recommend this place enough!

My lack of planning does not constitute an emergency for anyone else, and I didn't expect them to drop everything to bail me out... however, I thought, let me just ask to see what they might be able to do... So, I called the office to ask for their help in sending me records, and despite my apalling lack of notice, they accommodated me and helped me by emailing me records! Say what?!?!?! Of course, I had to comply with written authorizations, which is absolutely the right way to go... Ms. Traci was my LIFESAVER today! Seriously, talk about taking good care of their patients! And technically, since we moved out of state, we are no longer patients... and they still went above and beyond! Truly, this place is full of caring, kind and amazing individuals. Dr. Meyers and Dr. Dam have been truly awesome throughout the years, very thorough, patient and detailed, and we miss them very very much. The front staff, Chris and Traci, have always helped us professionally and today, she rescued me. We highly recommend bringing your children here; they are beyond amazing.

She and her newborn baby should've never had to wait over an hour and a half to even seen, and when asking about the status should not have been treated with such rudeness. Apparently you have to be the elite of prairie village since I saw about 20 families go in and out while she was waiting with a newborn. Inexcusable scheduling and then they have these large signs about a late policy and how you will get penalized. That's ridiculous. Given an hour and a half to just be seen and be treated so poorly. I don't care how good the providers are there are other places people could pick unless you're just retired and have a half a day to hang out in their lobby!! they have never historically with her other older child been on time. People that came in 30 minutes after she did have left the lobby and many others have as well some practices just take advantage of people that don't complain. Do not use this practice. There's no excuse.

At another point he said that no vaccine would ever hurt my child. As someone who was vaccine injured and deals with the repercussions of that injury every day, this was very jarring to hear. He has not once provided informed consent to us the entire time we have been at this practice since my son was born. It is not ethical to say that vaccines pose no risk and no doctor can honestly promise that nothing is going to happen because that is not in their control. The lying an intense pushback against parents who are simply looking to do what is best for their children makes me reconsider all vaccines. We are a family that accepts 95% of the recommended vaccines and now I will be digging deeper into all of their inserts and making decisions about what is best for my family because that is my job.
