Over the last four months I have taken my son to see Dr. Nussbaum four times regarding pain he has been having. She chalked our first visit up to "growing pains" and sent him home with no suggestions but did charge us a fee saying she "diagnosed" him on his chart. (It was his well check so it should have been a free visit so apparently growing pains is now a formal diagnosis.) We went for a second visit a couple of weeks later and she was on vacation so the doctor covering for her ordered x-rays. We did receive a call saying the x-rays were normal and to call if he is still having issues. We made a third appointment and Dr. Nussbaum said since the x-rays were normal she doesnt have any suggestions and again said it was growing pains. I asked if we should try a chiropractor, she said "sure you could try that". I mentioned massage and her response again was "sure you could try that too". We left the office and I looked over at my son in the car. He had tears on his face as he was quietly crying. I asked him why he was so upset and he simply said "why doesnt she do anything?" I made our final appointment on April 10th. She said she would refer him to an orthopedic doctor because, in her exact words, "I just dont see anything wrong with him". I am no doctor but I am well aware that x-rays do not reveal a myriad of pain causing issues. When I made the referral appointment with the orthopedic office I was asked if has he had an arthritis test and I explained that Dr. Nussbaum had not run any tests. They stated that they can not take him until July because he had not been tested for certain issues and he would have to be treated as a new patient. I called Dr. Nussbaums office and informed the receptionist of this and can the doctor just order the necessary tests so he can get in sooner. She said she would talk with her and call me back. I received a voicemail from her shortly after saying that she went ahead an made the July appointment for him. This means either she failed to talk with Dr. Nussbaum about the tests and just called and made him an appointment or Dr. Nussbaum told her she didnt want to help speed up the process. This is a child in pain and she refused to help him. I have since found several tests she could have ordered that would help narrow down the problem. I have no idea if this doctor is incompetent or just doesnt care to help my son. We have CHIP insurance. Perhaps if a child has better insurance, that child receives better care.

Dr. Nussbaum is a nice lady, but not up on current health issues. She still uses flu vaccines with thimerosal (mercury). She prescribes antibiotics (for ear infections, etc.) again and again, whereas children with re-occurring infections should be evaluated for food allergies and other health issues rather than killing their gut flora with so many rounds of antibiotics. I would recommend a more holistic doctor.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER. EVERYTIME I CALL AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY CHILDRENS SICKNESS THEY GET ME IN RIGHT AWAY. I NEVER HAVE TO WAIT FOR LONG EVEN IF I AM A WORK IN. SHE ALWAYS ANSWERS ALL MY QUESTIONS AND I NEVER LEAVE HER OFFICE WITH CONCERNS. PATTY IN THE FRONT IS VERY NICE AND PROFESSIONAL AS WELL AS HER ASSISTANT. BEST PEDIATRICIAN I HAVE COME ACROSS WE ARE DEFFINATELY STICKING WITH HER FOR A WHILE.

Dr. Nussbaum is kind, professional, thorough, and always encouraging. She is highly competent and my children respond well to her. Her office is comfortable and inviting. The staff responds quickly to questions and wait times are generally short. I am very happy with Dr. Nussbaum as the pediatrician for my two children.

Amazing pediatrician! Every time Ive gone in Ive seen the doctor, not just a nurse, and Ive never waited longer than a few minutes once signing in. But if at some point the doctor isnt there I would be very satisfied with only seeing the nurses because they are great as well!!

Just switched to her clinic from another doctor and we are very happy with the outcome. Short waiting time, proficient stuff and friendly atmosphere. The only thing that might be improved is quite old style temperature measurement instrument.

We love Dr. Nussbaum! Unfortunately she does not take our current insurance so I am on the hunt for a new pedi. Nobody else compares!
