Attention New parents with a newborn...read this: In search for a pediatrician for our newborn son we stumbled upon Dr. Manar Hammouds office. Her website boasts access to her office 24 hrs a day 7 days a week and shows and eagerness to accept new patients. Being a busy, working father this appealed to my schedule. However this claim could not be further from the truth. We scheduled an appointment with Dr. Hammoud on a Thursday & were greeted by her friendly staff upon arrival. Unfortunately their cheery disposition did not reflect the nature of the Dr. Who operates out of this facility. Dr. Hammoud spoke to us in a short, condescending, & rude nature. She did not seem eager to help us with the questions we had. In-fact, we felt as if we were being reprimanded for asking questions. Additionally, we were redirected to a lab that same afternoon. We were told that Dr. Hammound needed to see us the following day @ 1:15pm. Although it was short notice and difficult with my work schedule we agreed. The next day around 11:30am we had been contacted by Dr. hammouds office telling us that we needed to visit the lab again & return by 12.30pm. Not only is this OUTRAGEOUSLY short notice (especially for a working dad) it is a physical impossibility to make it from Morrice Mi (where my work is located) , to the lab in Fenton MI, complete the testing at the lab and return the results to Dr. Hammouds office in Flint MI without a rocket-ship. Explaining this to her, after much negotiation and in an exasperated tone she agreed upon our original time of 1:15pm. Keep in mind we have a newborn, just over a week old. Being new parents were still getting used to our new baby boys schedule. Being caring parents we did our best to make sure that our boys health and safety were accounted for. After a hastily preformed NASCAR pitstop style diaper change we were on the road with a clean baby with a clean diaper properly buckled into the infant setting in his car seat. Now, you would think that a PEDIATRICIAN of all people would be understanding of the obstacles a baby puts before a new parent. We were running 10 minutes late. We called ahead to Genesee Pediatrics to Dr. Manar Hammoud to let her know that we were running behind. Instead of thanking us for the courtesy call she instead reprimanded us for not being on time & in a ridiculous attempt to punish us, in her rude condescending tone told us to take our baby to emergency. Knowing that our baby was not in need of emergency medical attention we instead looked for other options. Since Dr. Manar Hammoud was unwilling to wait 10 minutes to see our baby boy we decided that we also couldnt wait another 10 minutes to find a new pediatrician. I couldnt see myself telling my son "ok, its time to go see grumpy ol Dr. Hammoud for your appointment" If you have ANY other option I recommend you take it. Dr. Hammoud could stand to learn a lesson in common courtesy, manners & human decency. If I could rate negative stars i would. The one star rated on this review is at least 1 too many.

Dr. Hammoud is The best there is. Hands down! She has been my childrens Dr. For over 15 years, and she is the most compassionate, caring and self made available Dr out there. Dr. Hammoud stands firming in what she believes to be the very best care for her patients. The well being and health of the children come first. Allowing parents to have 24-7 access to reaching her. She knows and remembers her patients and truly has a love for her career in giving....the very best medical care possible. I am one of the most picky, opinionate and out spoken Mothers out there, she gets that. She respects that. My childrens care has been lead with her professional opinion of care first, but Dr. Hammoud allows me the opportunity for my opinions, concerns and thoughts to be respected and heard. She knows parents know their children! So it is always a Team Effort!

Dr. Manar A. Hammoud - We had to switch doctors because ultimately when we really needed something done we were faced with a very stubborn front, unprofessional staff, and even patronized as parents. I had a full detail review written up but its not worth it. We found a new doctor that really made our situation seem simple. If you are having issues with Dr. Hammoud or her staff just remember there are plenty of other doctors. It took about 5 minutes to switch our insurance over.

Have had nothing but great experiences with Dr. Hammoud. and her staff. She is very welcoming and is very good with dealing with young children and babies! I truly feel that the doctor does everything she can to ensure that my children are receiving the best possible health care. Will continue to visit the Dr. and I recommend anyone else to do the same!

My daughter has been a patient of Dr Hammoud since birth. Both my daughter and I think very highly of her. She has a very pleasant bedside manner. She really cares about her patients and has competently treated my daughter over the years. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for pediatric care for their child.

Dr. Hammoud is a doctor who is kind, caring and genuinely concerned about the welfare of her patients. She has been my youngest daughters doctor from the time my daughter was born and I have never had a more caring doctor and sincere doctor than her! She is more like family than just a doctor.
