Can't comment on the pediatricians here but as most of the other negative reviews have stated,…read morefront office staff extremely rude and incompetent. Called to schedule an appointment for newborn. On the phone, they ask insurance type which I provided. Appointment scheduled over the phone and I receive a text stating that I need to submit a copy of the insurance which I do. Appointment confirmed via text. I arrived at the office and they asked if I was paying out of pocket. I said I provided it via text. They said, "we sent you a text stating that we don't accept that insurance." I'm looking at the text, no text ever sent. I said they did not. They also asked me over the phone what insurance my newborn had, and proceeded to schedule the appointment. If I was out-of-network, wouldn't you have told me then on the phone and not went ahead and scheduled the appointment. Being out-of-network seems rather important. Why would you send something like that over a text message? That seems like something warranting a call (especially considering you shouldn't have booked the appt initially). But front office doesn't do that because they're rude and lazy. As I'm walking out the door and looking at the text messages between the office and myself, the front office girl then back talks and says, "oh we definitely sent a text." Avoid the lazy, incompetent front office they have employed.

Don't even bother looking at this practice, bad nurses, bad front desk services and awful drsread more

I scheduled my daughter's annual wellness check with Dr. Purcell. She was very kind and friendly…read more Before the appointment, I confirmed multiple times with my insurance company that the annual wellness visit would be covered 100% with no copay. However, after the visit, I received a bill for a copay. When I contacted the billing department, they told me that if any concerns are brought up during the annual checkup and the doctor documents notes about them, the visit is then considered a regular office visit, which requires a copay. I carefully recalled what happened that day. I simply answered the questions asked by the medical staff and had the doctor perform the routine annual exam. We had some casual conversation during the visit, but I did not request any additional evaluation beyond the standard checkup. I was surprised to be told that this automatically resulted in a copay. We have visited many other pediatricians for annual checkups in the past and have never encountered this situation. The billing department repeatedly insisted that this is their policy and that their practice is different from other pediatric offices. They said the office manager would call me back to explain further, but I have not received any call or follow-up. It does not seem like they are interested in resolving this issue. I hope this clinic takes this matter seriously. Families should be aware that even if their insurance covers annual wellness visits at 100%, if the staff determines that "any concern" was brought up, they may reclassify the visit as a regular office visit and require a copay.

My name is Carolyn Torres and I have five grandchildren that I have taken to Lake Area Pediatrics…read more The last 4 times I brought my grandkids to Lake Area Pediatrics for appointments I have not been happy with their services at all. I didn't say anything in the past because I felt that I should give it a chance. First of all let's start with the reception area. Their is a older woman that works there and seems like she is frustrated working there. You will not get one smile from her. What I see is "I work here because I have too". That to me is a big turn off. If shes not willing to do her part what a receptionist should be in the front desk than it's time for her to retire. Today I had an appt at 3:00pm and arrived early. The nurse that checked in my grandson did a excellent job. Her services was impeccable. We were left in the waiting room for more than 20 minutes. For a child 20 minutes or more is a life time just for a simple wellness. We decided to leave. Children do not like to see Dr's to begin with. I would think that Lake Area Pediatric should have consideration on children. All kids just want to get it over with and not be waiting in the waiting room for 20 minutes or more. It saddens me to write a review like this. It's time for Lake Area Pediatrics to make major changes in their lobby as well as their staff.

I took my grandson in for what I thought would be a routine visit. The first thing I noticed about…read morethe Dr (PA?) was she was very young. She took the child's temperature & looked in his ears. As we were talking I mentioned that when I picked him up from his mother, he was unsteady on his feet (he's a toddler) and BOOM that simple phrases changed everything. Even though there was no bruising or other signs of a bone fracture or trauma or abuse she demanded that I immediately take him to the emergency wing for a skeletal XRay to check for fractures. I refused and left. She then notified CPS and a case worker appeared at my home. The case worker examined the child, determined no signs of fractures, bruising, abuse & the living conditions & food availability were not an issue. We thought that would be the end of things, but we were wrong The bluefish doctor had told CPS that a complete skeletal x-ray needed to be done to close the case. The problem is bluefish, never issued any orders for the x-rays Today when we called in to get the orders we are told that the Doctor is not on duty today and we will have to wait for another doctor to finish their rounds to take care of this. In the meantime, CPS is pressuring us as to why we haven't taken the child to get x-rays This is preposterous. We took a child in for a routine examiner examination because he was running a slight fever and vomiting. Apparent saying that the child appeared a little unsteady triggered some kind of institutionalized CPS response in the medical community. This is outrageous. CPS should never have been involved. As I write this, I am still waiting for bluefish to get back to me with orders for an x-ray or to call CPS and tell them that the x-rays are not necessary If you choose to take your child to this group, be careful what you say, it may trigger a call to CPS merely by conveying a valid concern.

I have been coming here with my children for 10 years. I will say that a lot of the bad comments I…read moresee on here I feel are not per-say the doctors fault. It's a state program problem. When we started here the facility was small and was ran great! Over the years they have expanded and opened up new rooms to accommodate therapists etc. I feel as if they amount of people allowed to be seen is now maxed out. There should have been a capping point. Any place that becomes overwhelmed will definitely struggle. That's common sense. So I just want to recommended the doctors here for who they are and their knowledge and professionalism. Not necessarily recommending because it's a nice big fancy clinic. Because it's not. I go for the doctors.
