He looked at me/my child the entire time with no notepad or comptuer. Instead, he just seemed to diagnose and treat without worrying about the time.

I called the specialist and mentioned Lauers name - they knew he was really good too and got me in the next day. It has been great ever since.

We were scheduled for an annual checkup, took her out of school, got here on time, as scheduled, and ended up waiting for the nurse practitioner forever to come in and see us knowing that I had to bring my daughter back to school.

I am considering changing doctors though we have been with them for a couple of years. The doctors don't seem to be around much or are always booked up and the nurse practitioners don't seem to care.... The practice has only gone downhill recently....

My infant was naked and cold in the patient room for an hour before the doctor came in. They misdiagnosed two of my kids on 3 separate occasions. I mean, they've stuck me with a "temp" doc from Georgia without informing me who ended up prescribing the wrong antibiotic for my 5 mo old and made his skin condition WORSE. I've asked to speak to manager to which i never was returned a call, receptionist called me instead of manager and when I insisted for the manager, specifically, to give me a call as I had some issues to discuss with her I was told "uhh, sure I'll let her know but she probably won't call you"..... When I finally asked for their records to be transferred over to another practice two months from now, they dropped them from their system and denied any treatments even though my youngest was scheduled next week for his 6 month well visit. They knew I wasn't leaving their practice immediately, it was going to be in two months, but because I asked for record transfer via fax, they denied providing service my children. Last Saturday my youngest desperately needed to be seen for a same day sick appointment for his severe skin infection , and they could care less and kept reiterating to me that I'm the one who requested the transfer and I'm choosing to leave them, they can't accept my son as their patient anymore. It can not get any more unprofessional and juvenile than this. I regret not leaving any sooner.

No doubt, doctoring is a big business these days, with confusing insurance coverages, increasing…read moreexpense in maintaining an office with all the digital requirements, and the need to stay state of the art in care of patients. There is pressure to consolidate practices because the day of the successful solo practitioner is far behind us for the most part. I have observed my son's pediatrician go from a small office with two other doctors, through expansion to many doctors and nurse practitioners and administrative staff large enough to manage the burgeoning computer requirements for medical records preservation and billing. As in most offices, the back office people are far more numerous than those treating patients. There was reason for concern that somewhere along the line the human touch would be lost to the demands of the modern business of medicine. Luckily for us, Dr. Brister, partners and associates have not lost their humanity, despite succumbing to the need to become part of a larger organization in order to survive and grow. Now known as part of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Care Network, they are associated with a fine institution known for its care of children throughout the Philadelphia region and beyond. "CHOP" as it is lovingly called, has a well earned reputation for world class medical care for young people. My seventeen year old son has been under the care of Drs. Brister, Kardos and their well selected partners/associates, and he has never had anything but excellent attention from the entire team. His thriving health and energy is at least in part due to the wonderful care received when needed (which blessedly has not been often). Knowing that they are part of the CHOP system gives great cause for even more confidence.

We almost always go to the Trevose location, but we have been seen at the Northeast location too…read more I'm honestly flabbergasted by all the negative reviews. We've had nothing but positive experiences here (my children are almost 7 and almost 2 and have been coming here since birth). I was a supervisor in a medical office before, so maybe I can see how some of the negative experiences can be explained. 1st-I have ALWAYS gotten an appointment for when I needed it. They always have availability with someone day of - now if you're picky and only want certain people to look at your child's stuffy nose, then yes, you may have to wait. 2nd-They have amazing walk in hours and though you may have to wait a bit, it's worth it for the convenience. If your kid was sick all night, then be there at 750am - then you'll be first in line when they open at 8am. Don't wait until 845 to walk in and expect not to wait. 3rd-Excellent office hours - this includes both Saturday and Sunday, evenings, etc. They don't hold weekends for just sick visits either, which helps us working parents out a bit. 4th-The staff have always been extremely friendly and caring - I've never had any issues - either on the phone or in person. Remember, treat others like you would like to be treated! (meaning: don't be rude and obnoxious and expect them to still make a fuss over your little snowflake) 5th-I've never had a bad experience with any of the doctor's, PA's, CRNP's. Read # 4 again. If you're not happy with something they said, or still have questions, stand up for yourself and your kid and don't leave until they are answered. If you do, and then regret it later, that's on you. Come prepared with a list of questions and concerns, etc. and don't leave until you are satisfied. 6th-As for people sitting on the floor? I've never seen that - so it's the Dr's office fault that 40 kids are all sick at the same time and they've agreed to see ALL of them? What a horrible Dr's office for being so caring and accommodating!! 7th-We rarely ever wait too long, and if we do, it's always in the exam room - and the same people who complain about the wait are likely the same people who want that very same Dr to spend 30 minutes with them talking about their kids stuffy nose.

However we've always had positive experiences and are really grateful to be apart of the CHOP network since my son has needed allergy specialists his whole life. Whenever we go to CHOP allergy there is no "catching up," because everything is already in their portal. Our doctors and nurses have been incredibly nice as well. We haven't had a bad experience here. Their nursing line has also been helpful for us. I know not everyone has the same experience but we luckily have had great experiences for my son and daughter.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was thrown out of Dr. M's office (female), as a parent advocate…read more The family as a whole left with minimal, if any, questions truly answered. The visit was combative and condescending as soon as I introduced myself as an advocate. I explained the complexities of a shared child and his quality of life. This was not discussed and initially the question from the Dr was - what are we here for? Not friendly, not helpful and not respectful to parent advocates or families with children who have special needs. Dr. M gave suggestions to different CHOP departments; one only serviced children 3 and below and the other 6 and above. This is not applicable to the child and no other suggestions were given. We were also told that CHOP pediatrics only takes children with ADHD, which was referred to as neurological by the Dr. When I tried to learn about the medical term she used and asked, the answer was snarky and said with a condescending laugh. Audibly, as she was wearing a mask. Because thats beyond disrespectful, rude and unprofessional, I let her know "that was rude". I was then thrown out of the doctors office and told unprofessional behavior will not be tolerated and is inappropriate for a medical building. Unprofessional is laughing at serious questions being posed, condescending answers and overall disrespect towards me (the parent advocate), but the family as well, no? This same type of incident happened with Dr. Heinert. The translation on the iPad glitched throughout, no answers were explained to Mom or his teacher, and they were told everything was behavioral. When questions cannot be answered, the go-to has consistently been, "that is behavioral". These doctors are visibly uncomfortable around special needs children. Dr. M didnt assess the child once. No ears, no throat, nothing. Its been so upsetting and frustrating. If youre not comfortable with special needs kids, you're SURE ok with billing for it. Do better CHOP. The civil rights violations have been piling up, which is so sad for a family that us struggling and in desperate need of medical help.
