I had a newborn at Greenville Hospital, and I was referred to the Center for pediatric medicine. My first visit was mediocre. There were a lot of sick children mixed in with brand-new infants, and I was very nervous the whole time that my newborn was going to get sick. My daughter had to be checked for her jaundice, and the doctor that we met with basically seemed like he was either high, or half asleep the entire time. Im a first-time mom, and had many questions that were probably silly to him, but he laughed at me and made me feel uncomfortable for even asking questions. The next visit, not only did I have to stand in line forever, but they pushed for me to meet with the lactation counselor. She was the most arrogant, unprofessional, know-it-all I have ever seen in my life. She berated me for owning pit bulls and having a newborn, something that shouldnt have even been discussed because it was out of her scope of practice, and quite frankly, none of her business. After storming out of her office, I was then made to stand in line again just to check out. Finally, I met with the doctor that I actually liked, but the front desk staff awful, and the real reason why I am switching pediatricians. They are rude, obviously understaffed, and have absolutely no empathy, barely speak English. I tried to get my daughter in to see a doctor (a little bit sooner than her two month check up) because she was screaming her head off throughout the night with colic and gas pain. We wanted to get her checked to make sure there was nothing major going on. They would not let me book her appointment stating that her next appointment was for a two month check up and she wouldnt be two months old if I brought her in earlier. Im absolutely disgusted, and I will never use that place again. I called Christie pediatric group and they were able to get me in three days after I called them. This place is a joke.

I have been taking my two children here since they were newborns almost 4 years ago. They go for their shots and their sick child appointments. Everything has been fine up until recently when i took my daughter because she was feeling so sick and had all the symptoms of the flu. They gave her a flu swab and determined it wasnt the flu and decided they couldnt treat her that i just needed to giver her tylenol and improfen. I did that for two mores days and she only got worse. I called and asked for another appointment and they called back an 1 and half later and said they couldnt see her for another 24 hours. I immediatley took her to DR CARE on East North St and they saw her right away. They gave her a flu swab, strap throat swab, blood work, and xrays. They determined she had pneumonia on both lungs and was dehydrated and needed to go to the ER right away. We went to ST Francis ER and she was given IV and antibiotics. Thank goodness she didnt have to be admitted and transferred to Greenville Memorial. Even though the ER doctor, DR. Jolly did state that if i had waited the additional 24hrs she would have been admitted and treated for several days. I was so upset that I had to take her to DR CARE to get the right treatment and i couldnt get that from her DR of 3 years. I am currently looking for another Doctor in my area for both my children. I will not be going back EVER to this one!

If I could give them a negative 10, I would. I have 2 girls, with my oldest, they over looked a double ear infection that almost cause my oldest to lose her hearing in her left ear. I just recently had my second child and in hope of them being better than what they were 8 years ago, i decided to give them another shot. Major Fail. My youngest isnt allowed to have live vaccines for a certain time frame, received her immunization records on yesterday, noticed they gave her a live vaccine. My baby was sick for 2 months and no one could tell me why. Recently called to see why i was told one thing but the nurse did something totally different, was told that they couldnt so anything about what that nurse did, wouldnt provide me with the information i requested so i could file a complaint against that nurse as well as thr facility itself. The nurses have "i dont care" attitudes as well as management. I will not recommend this facility to anyone who has children.

If I could give negative star rate I would, the worst place Ive ever dealt with in my life. My baby is medically complexed and was always sick,which caused him to lose or not gain weight properly. Pam I think her name is called DSS on me twice and lied on me to get my kids and baby taken away bc she was accusing me of not feeding him and not caring about him. 2 years of complete hell,she would send us to the hospital for treatment,never would listen to my concerns, lie on me often then fake concern until DSS arrived finally her and the staff realized it wasnt me it was just him and how hes gonna be.even admitted it out of her own mouth and apologized but never called DSS to tell them she lied or mistaken. Worst place ever I would never recommend this place to anybody in life. I took him and his brother out and never looked back smh!

Very poor treatment. My child suffered from severe acid reflux that was left undiagnosed by them. The on call nurse told me no appointment was necessary that my child was "purple crying" and that I needed to stop holding her so much and leave her alone in her crib more. (Mind you the on call nurse was not aware of how much or how little I held her.) At 5 months old we sought help from holistic pediatricians, acid reflux was immediately diagnosed and corrected naturally within about 2 weeks. Never saw the same pediatrician and had to spend at least 30-45 minutes explaining custody (shes being adopted) to every nurse, pediatrician and social worker (instead of them just reading her file.) Never going back and I HIGHLY recommend any mother to NOT take their child here...

My son is one & has never seen the same doctor twice! Hes only seen a doctor once, the rest were last year residents. Although, no one has ever been rude to us, you are not really acknowledged. & they are really busy! My son had a fever of 102, when I called at 8am, I had to wait another 24 hours for an appointment (I took him to the hospital instead). Also, it is really hard to get a check up appointment, my son went to his 6 month check up at 8 months, and is still waiting on his 9 & 12 month check-up! I am looking for another pediatrician, but it is very hard to find a doctor in Greenville thats "accepting patients" so DO NOT go here for a first choice or transfer. Like I said, everyone is nice, but thats about it.

I have been taking my son here since he was born which was in december and we had no problems up until today. We went in because my son has been coughing and he has a yeast infection that he has had for three weeks. They didnt even take us into a room they took my 7 month old in the hallway and just listened to his chest and his back. said he just had a little cold and that i needed to just let it work its course. They didnt look at his rash and when we got home he was bleeding from the rash. so we called the nurse and she still hasnt returned my call. I am so angry. I will be taking him somewhere else as soon as I find a place I feel comfortable with that accepts medicaid.
