Pediatric Associates

I am very happy with Dr. Paul and Peds Associates, both of my children have seen Dr. Paul since birth (she was recommended to me by a couple acquaintances). The office seems to be organized and well run, we have never been delayed or stuck in a waiting room for more than 10 minutes. The nurses have always been receptive, and have returned calls promptly. I have never had problems getting an appointment quickly if one of my children is sick and needs to be seen, the IC office has evening and Saturday hours that are very helpful to avoid an ER or UC visit if problems happen after-hours. Dr. Paul is very nice and spends considerable time with us and is careful to answer all of my questions. She is always very easy to talk to and never seems in a hurry to get out of the room. We are given informational handouts at every well child appointment including behavior, development, and nutritional information. It is obvious that Dr. Paul monitors development closely, asking questions that would flag potential problems. We have never been given antibiotics for a viral illness. I have recommended Dr. Paul on several occasions and everyone I know who sees her is really happy.

HORRIBLE!! WE went through 4 pediatricians...it was generic 'boilerplate' medicine. They all prescribed antibiotics and surgery very liberally. Our last Pediatric Associate physician prescribed ear tubes and the next three appointments asked if our child had had eartubes. He didn't read his files, and sometimes confused his gender. Absolutely NO regard for nutrition (beyond calories) and for the hyppocratic oath.
