He was my daughter's pediatrician for a few years. We saw him maybe twice, the whole time she was under his care. The rest of the visits we saw their technicians. My daughter had been struggling for years with constipation issues. They always told me, kids tend to hold their vowel movements and make things worse. They said it was all in her head and sent us home with a Miralax prescription, every time.
Our son was sent to the NICU after being born and we decided to let him remain under the care of the same pediatrician he had during his stay there.
In order to avoid bills from two different pediatric offices, we decided to switch our daughter to the same pedi our son had. Turns out our daughter had been dealing with a terrible blockage and she needed help clearing things out before she could be able to go on her own. I felt so bad that all this time I had been forcing her to go because the "experts" told us it was all in her head.
First visit with her new pediatrician and he knew exactly what she had and sent her to Primary Children to get it taken care of.
Now I know to always get a second opinion and never to trust doctors just because they are the ones with the degree.
I give them two stars because they do have a separate entrance for patients who are sick. Reducing the risk of getting sick for those who are only there to get a well-check.
While a positive thing, this obviously doesn't make up for the lack of care and knowledge when it comes to their tiny patients. read more
