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!

Our youngest couldn't move her arm without crying hysterically after some bounce house…read morerough-housing, so our doctor referred us here on a weekend. 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.

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.

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!

The staff at pediatric associates does not think this is a problem at all and were quite rude.

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.

Upon entry, I wasn't greated with anything but: "YOU NEED TO HAVE A MASK ON". Not a "Hello" or smile before barking their outdated policy at me. I had spoken with the office staff prior to scheduling to make sure my insurance was in network. After 2 weeks of no response, I called back and asked again. They said there shouldn't be any issues so I went ahead and was seen. A month later I received a bill for $1500 stating my insurance was out of network! I called the billing office and spoke to the office manager who flat out told me: "We just check to make sure the plan is active. We don't check if we are in-network or what your benefits are." The application they use to verify the policy will tell them if they are in-network and what my benefits are.... they just choose not to look at them! In the words of the office manager: "It's like 20 pages long and we just don't have the time or the staff to look over that". I'm sorry.... WHAT???? They have the information in front of them, but CHOOSE not to look at it and then surprise their patients with a bill?! What terrible patient care and business practice!! On top of that, they are billing me the FULL insurance price. When they would have only gotten paid a fraction of that from the insurance if they had been in-network. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE AND PATIENT ADVOCATION.

Her bedside manner is unbelievable, she is very knowledgeable about what is ailing my kids (and trust me, with two severe asthmatics and kids who have upper respiratory infections regularly - her knowledge and trust is key!) We trust Dr. Foss implicitly. In fact, today I went to a walk in doctor and they said my son had fluid in his middle ear. There wasn't anything we could do but wait and see if it develops into an earache, or a fever. His pediatrician said that's crazy! We're trying to get him well enough for 30 days so he can have his tonsils and adenoids out, and Dr. Foss prescribed him an antibiotic and said at the first sign of pain or fever, go ahead and start the antibiotic. The other doctor wanted me to wait, come back in, and go through this whole process again in a day or two. In addition to today, Dr. Foss has been on constant watch for my kids with their asthma and upper respiratory issues. Allergies are crazy with them, too, and she's ever vigilant! She is - in my opinion - the best pediatrician around! Caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly likable! If you want to get to know Dr. Kallie M.

My Baby has her flu shot last April 8, 2018 and her doctor advised us to have her follow up flu shot after a month and was also advice that no need to set an appointment coz it can be done even when you walk-in. My husband's lunch is only 30minutes so he needs to ask his Boss and tell him that he will be late to come back. We planned to bring our almost 9months old Baby today at 1pmish since it is my dayoff and since I do not drive yet my husband picks us up. But prior to go there my husband told me to still make an appointment but the person i talked with on the phone again told me no need for an appointment. Unfortunately, when we arrive in their office and check-in with the oldest(I think) staff there today and told me that they do not have stocks for the said dosage. oh really???? Then I ask her again how come you do not have stock knowing you have in your records that my daughter has a follow up flu shot one month after April 8, 2019 and the office should spare one for her then she said in a very snotty way when we are out of stock we are out of stocks" and our next stocks will be in Septemeber 2019 on which too way far for my daughter to have her follow up flu shot. And she is not even helpful when i ask her if we can do it in other clinic. Second, when I called their office about setting an appointment to make sure that we can be accommodated even walk in and told me no need which she said no need to set then I gave her my daughter's date of birth. By then after the staff pull out my daughter' file she can see actually if they still have a stocks and should advise me so no need to jeopardize my husbands lunch. But no, she didn't advice me. So our plan now is to request for all my daughters record coz we will be moving to other pediatric office. Can't take their customer service staff anymore the fact that its a pediatric clinic they(front desk) should be as friendly as they should. What a terrible experience.
