After paying $25 for our baby's medical records, the clinic refused to release them due to an outstanding balance, denying a refund and threatening collections.

I used to love this dental office, but my experience on this date changed everything. I brought my…read morechild in with my husband, and when we were called back, we were told that only one parent could accompany our child. At the same time, another couple was allowed to go back together. I brought this to the doctor's attention, explaining that my husband should have been allowed to come too, especially since he was paying for this expensive visit. The doctor dismissed my concerns, saying, 'Well, they're not supposed to do that,' without any further acknowledgment. I ended up switching places with my husband so he could be with our son. Normally, I manage appointments with all three of my children alone, but now it felt like a problem with just one child and my husband. This inconsistency made me feel like we were treated differently, and it left me questioning if it was due to racial bias. To make matters worse, I later found out 15 minutes into the appointment that I and my husband actually were allowed to be with my child from the beginning. We were lied to. Another assistant walked me back to my child WITH MY HUSBAND after she saw what was being done to my husband and I and she helped get us both to our child! There were no apologies or recognition of the earlier mistake, which left me furious. I will not return to this practice again. Additionally, I've noticed that if you correct them on your child's name pronunciation, their follow-up response can be a bit snappy. Overall, I'm very disappointed. Greedy, overpriced and apparantly racist. I never had issues with them until the first and last time my husband came with me.

We moved to town recently. I called Pirate Pediatrics for a new patient appointment for my child…read more They said they were not accepting new patients until after January 1st. I waited and called back on the 3rd. A woman named Stacey answered and couldn't explain how I could get an appointment or tell me if they were taking new patients. She sounded confused and hostile. After putting me on hold for a long time a woman named Kaelyn picked up. I said I was confused about my interaction with Stacey, I just want a new patient appointment. She was very condescending and wouldn't confirm if they were accepting new patients or not but "if" they were I needed to fill out forms and then their coordinator would decide if my family was a good fit for the practice? I've never heard of this and I've been a mother for almost 30yrs. She could not have been more rude. Hung up after almost 30minutes still not knowing if they are accepting new patients or how to apply if they were. It was very frustrating!

When I made the appointment, no one told me that there was no pediatrician available and that I would be seeing a nurse practitioner. I was not aware of this until I was already in a room. I feel like patients should be told this, especially if they are first time patients. 2. The biggest issue that I had was regarding vaccines. I am not an anti-vaxxer, but I had a bit of a vaccination scare due to a reaction that my daughter had at her 4 month shots. I was still on the fence about a couple of vaccines by her 6 month check up, and I told them that I wanted to wait a week or so to vaccinate until I had read a bit more about the different side effects and their rate of occurrence. The NP treated me like an idiot for daring to question the infinite wisdom of the AAP and the CDC. She said "You should have thought about that before you had her." She also said "we just want what's best for her." Her tone suggested that I didn't. Just unprofessional on a variety of levels. No parent should be made to feel like a bad parent for daring to ask a question about the safety of vaccines. Less important things to consider: 3. When I walked in, there was a strong air freshener. Those things have phthalates, not to mention formaldehyde and ethylene-based glycol ethers- classifies by the EPA as environmental pollutants. 4. There were tablets attached to a small table to entertain children. This sounds cool and fun, but most kids get way too much screen time as it is. To be fair, they had a small bookshelf. But I just don't see any point in encouraging more screen time.

I was here to get the process of having my child put on medication for her ADHD and to get a…read morereferral for OT, for her SPD. I had completed the paperwork and returned it before hand for the doctor to look over before our appointment. When we got there they handed me the same stack of questions to answer. Letting me know first hand that the doctor had not reviewed anything before our appointment. There were two, one filled out by patents and the other by her teacher. One of the first questions she asked was about us being self pay. I replied with, "Unfortunately I make too much money to be able to afford health insurance at this time". Yes I know a complete oxymoron. But when you're self-employed and your income is high, you're unable to purchase health insurance at any kind of reasonable cost. At no point did I say I don't have the money to be able to afford testing or therapy for my child, but this is how the doctor acted the whole time. My child has ADHD, OCD, anxiety which has manifested it self into a sensory processing disorder. She sat and had a conversation with my child, my daughter looked her in the eyes, held a conversation. I talked about family history, how I also have OCD anxiety and ADD. I told her how, unfortunately I was not diagnosed until adulthood, and I did not want my child to face the same struggles I did growing up in school. I wanted to stay on top of things and not have her struggle, doing day-to-day tasks that are easy for a "normal" child to do. Explained our difficulties in the morning, with My child's SPD and how it affects us every single day. I showed her the bottom of my child's feet where she picks up them from anxiety, it's also something I suffer from as well as do a lot of other Americans about 70%. But she wasn't listening, she didn't care. She said "I want to know where she is on the spectrum, and those tests are really, really expensive". I made her aware, that my mother gives these tests to children and has been doing so for over 20 years. I also explained to her that her teacher from kindergarten through second grade also gives test for IEP's to see, where children are on the spectrum. My child is not on the spectrum. I repeat my child is not on the spectrum. I said, you just had a conversation with her, she talked to every person in this office when she got here, she has no issues socially. Her sensory processing disorder, is a manifestation of her ADHD, OCD, anxiety. NOT every child who has a sensory processing disorder is on the spectrum. Why do I know this, and she not know? She wanted me to have my child tested through the school system. It is a long process and it will label my child with an IEP that will follow her into adult hood. That is not what I was there looking for. I was there to get her started on medication for her ADHD as this is her first year in public school. I was there for her to get a referral for OT therapy to work on her SPD. As a sensory processing disorder is not something she's going to grow out of but, something she needs to learn how to cope with. The doctor then said to me "well obviously keep doing what you're doing because it's working!" Why on earth would I be there talking to her if what I was doing at home was working? I'd just told her every day was a struggle to find a pair shoes that may have been OK the day before, but now my child thinks her feet are being set on fire by them, or a pair of pants that may feel soft to me but to my child it they feel like 20 million ants are biting her legs. This doctor did not give two cents about what me as a parent was telling her about my child. She not once looked over the paperwork that I had filled out with my husband and that her teacher had filled out. She said "hopefully we can find something that's affordable for for your child". When she saw the look on my face she quickly changed it to "Oh, oh..I mean a therapy that will work for your daughter". Why was my appointment for my child based on what she thought I could or could not afford? This is unacceptable. It's unacceptable that she did not take my family history into consideration, refused to take anything that I said into consideration, that she took my financial status, that she has no idea about and used that to dictate our whole appointment with her. I have never been more disgusted in my life with a physician it was completely disgusting. I will go back to coastal children's clinic and see other doctors, ONLY for primary care, I will never return here for anything other than that. This woman is a disgusting human being, who is judge mental, who needs to learn what "listening ears" are, something I taught my daughter when she was two years old. What a disgrace.
