Extremely disappointing experience with Swedish Hospital pediatrics…read more I was billed twice for the same visit, which was a routine infant wellness appointment. One charge was around $320 for the wellness visit and another around $340 labeled as an outpatient visit for the exact same appointment. Previously, I was also charged separately for a 20 minute visit, which is not a short visit, and another longer visit. It felt like I was being billed by the minute without any clear explanation upfront. The breaking point was during a wellness visit when the doctor asked about a prior sinus issue and briefly checked it. That alone triggered a second charge. I was never informed that answering a question during the same appointment would result in additional billing. After multiple calls, they refused to correct it. This feels misleading and unacceptable. Parents should not be penalized for basic care during a scheduled visit. I have since switched providers to a practice that actually prioritizes patients over billing tactics. Take your loved ones somewhere else where they care about providing care more than ripping you off.

We saw Staci Scott at Village Pediatrics for ADHD med management and genetic testing review…read more Unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience with no useful recommendations. Our teen arrived unwell and we asked if she should wear a mask but were told no (headache, nausea, post-flu), mentioned it repeatedly, but there was no basic empathy or accommodation--no temp check, no relief suggestions, and loud talking continued despite requests for quiet. When our teen felt like vomiting and nearly passing out, the response felt dismissive. The appointment ended abruptly after Staci got upset, stormed out, and left us with no med plan or next steps. Our kid ended up throwing up in the waiting area with no follow-up help or call afterward. We own that our teen was moody (sick + ADHD), but we expected better de-escalation skills, empathy, and flexibility--especially from a specialist in teen ADHD. Lacked strong interpersonal skills and neurodiversity awareness in tough moments. Wouldn't recommend. Look at her google reviews as other families had a similar experience. Kristi the other nurse only works one day a week and the other one left. There's no other "medical" staff so you'll likely be stuck with Staci and no alternatives. We have never seen a single person there in the photo she has of her practice.

Finding Staci Scott and Village Pediatrics felt like the biggest relief of my life! While dealing…read morewith a very challenging medical situation for our oldest child, we previously had left 2 other practices because we felt that they couldn't meet our needs. It's not an exaggeration to say that Staci came through for us in the biggest way when we felt like we were drowning. She has continued to do so for nearly 10 years and for all four of our children. She always gets us in same day if needed, is punctual, spends a lot of time with us, and never makes us feel rushed. Staci responds to messages same day and gets refills in for us as quickly as humanly possible if I ever drop the ball. Staci has been tireless in her efforts to help us find answers to challenging medical issues, and she is always current on the latest research. She is kind and patient with my children, even on their hardest days. If you have a neurodivergent child, I cannot recommend Staci enough. The front office staff (Katelyn and Sara) are wonderful too. They know me and all of my children on a first name basis, and it feels like they bend over backwards to always help me whenever I am in a bind, whether it's trying to fit me into a very full schedule, get a message to Staci between appointments, deal with insurance, you name it. They are welcoming and kind to my children, and always try to help them find a favorite sticker, no matter how long it might take them to decide . On rare occasions when Staci is unavailable, we have seen other practitioners and have always been pleased with their care. The office is clean and warm and friendly, and feels like a comfortable and safe space to my children. My youngest is 2 and he recently started pretending that one of his cars is named Dr Staci. If one of his brothers has an appointment, he always wants to go too. All of my children would agree, Staci and Village Pediatrics feel like a part of our family in the best way possible.

We had a great doctor eight years ago, but he has since retired. I switched to a new doctor, and…read morealthough there are some questionable practices, overall, I think she is good. Recently, I brought my two kids for their annual health check together, which should have been fully covered by insurance. However, the one-hour visit was billed as four separate visits, including two "professional visits," because some topics discussed during the check-up were deemed "out of scope." This happened despite my explicitly stating that I only wanted an annual health check. And the outcome of these so-called "professional visits" was that the supposed "their concerns" turned out to be false alarms. To make matters worse, they urgently warned us two days later not to take the medication they had just prescribed during the visit. Like many others have noted, their billing department is terrible. The representative I dealt with was arrogant and rude. I escalated the issue to their manager, but no one responded until a week later. Their billing department even "taught" me that I need to ask whether a topic falls within the scope of an annual health visit before answering any questions from the doctor. For example, if the doctor says something like, "I feel your child might be at risk for cancer in the future," or "You kid could have a life-threatening condition in the future," you shouldn't respond--otherwise, you'll be charged for a professional visit. You might as well bring a lawyer with you to your appointment! I would genuinely appreciate it if Allegro could create something similar to a Miranda rights warning for their customers: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used as a basis to charge you extra.

Complaint Regarding Our Experience at Seattle Children's Hospital…read more I am writing to express my disappointment regarding our recent experience at Seattle Children's Hospital. We brought our toddler to the hospital because he was in significant discomfort. Although we understood that we did not have an appointment, we were extremely concerned about his condition. We waited for approximately two hours, during which our toddler cried continuously almost the entire time. It was heartbreaking for us as parents to watch him suffer without receiving any assistance. During our wait, another family was kind enough to offer us their place in line so that our son could be seen sooner. However, the nurse refused to allow this and repeatedly told us that we had to wait until our scheduled appointment time. While we understand that hospitals have policies and procedures, the interaction lacked empathy and compassion. Rather than acknowledging our child's distress or attempting to explore any possible alternatives, we felt that our concerns were simply dismissed. What upset us the most was not only the wait itself, but the attitude we encountered. We felt that no one seemed to care that our toddler had been crying continuously for two hours. We were never offered reassurance, updates, or any indication that someone understood how difficult the situation was for our family. A few words of compassion or an effort to check on our child would have made a significant difference. As parents, it was incredibly stressful and emotionally exhausting to sit there watching our son cry in pain while feeling ignored. We left the experience feeling frustrated, helpless, and disappointed. This is not the level of patient-centered care we expected from a children's hospital. We respectfully ask that Seattle Children's Hospital review this incident and consider providing additional training on compassionate communication and patient care. We understand that scheduling policies must be followed, but families with young children who are clearly in distress deserve empathy, respect, and better communication while they wait. We hope our feedback will help improve the experience for other families in the future, so that no parent has to feel as unsupported as we did.
