This pediatrician is the worst experience I’ve ever had with a children’s doctor. She refuses to see kids when they’re sick, which is absolutely ridiculous. Every time my child needed help, the office told me she doesn’t accept sick visits and to “go to urgent care.” Isn’t that what pediatricians are for? She also doesn’t listen to parents at all. When I tried explaining my child’s symptoms or concerns, she cut me off and brushed it aside. She spends maybe five to ten minutes in the room, barely looks at your child, and rushes out. There’s no warmth, no compassion, and no interest in helping — it feels like she’s only there for a paycheck, not because she cares about kids. Parents deserve a pediatrician who actually listens, takes time, and helps when your child truly needs care. Sadly, that’s not what you’ll find here.
