Tried to register my children to be seen at this pediatric office. Was told it would be "30+ days" just to get an appointment because they "needed records from previous caregivers". The records were sent numerous times and I confirmed with the prior caregivers that they were indeed sent multiple ways. The patient intake personnel was very rude and claimed she never received records from my children's previous caregivers.
I finally got tired of the run around and went to the pediatric dr a block away. In under a week they had all records and I had appointments scheduled for me children. Just a heads up for other parents. I was told they were accepting new patients, but it doesn't seem like they actually want new patients.

Had great experiences up until recently when we saw MARGARET MERRICK. She came in with a calm demeanor but for some reason became condescending towards the end of the appointment. I do not know why. Maybe we asked too many questions for her to tolerate. We were only seeking help, advice, and reassurance about our very fussy little one. She did all of those things until towards the end when she became rude.
She asked me a series of questions, each one with more condescending tone than the previous. Just letting you other parents know our experience with her and if you have a choice, go with one of the other doctors.
