I will update my review at a later time if I see a resolution but as of now, I expected more from the owner, I assume to be an Adventist Christian women (the website state women owned) I received as email dismissing our family as patients with no explanation effective immediately . I can only assume it is because we asked to delay a vaccine as our son was sick the day we went in. I was told it was no problem. We were never told that would end in a dismissal if we did not vaccinate that day. We have no issue with their policy that all children must be vaccinated. Furthermore, we had an issue with the the finance department which was sorted out and any balance paid in full the next day. We have no problem paying our dues! I am disappointed in this establishment due to the lack of communication which is unprofessional, reflecting poorly on this so called Christian "owner" if I am correct regarding who that is. Regardless of who owns this clinic and made their decision- very unprofessional. My son needs his next vaccine and now we are left to scramble and find someone to give his next vaccine ASAP. The email they sent was signed allied pediatrics. me on the phone of Trying to "MAKE" her accuse another practitioner unaffiliated to your organization of "making a mistake" aka malpractice, where I clearly said I just wanted to understand the issue my son was having as I was worried- I'm disappointed in this Christian who does not actually take the time to try and resolve any "issues" (if there was one) sending out dismissal letters, causing there to now be a delay in my son's care. Shameful demeanor and actions. We should have been spoken to in person who given more time/allowed to atleast vaccinate our child instead of cancelling and dismissing "immediately" as if we were causing some sort of harm or a threat to someone. This practice has a 4/5 star rating. I'm sure it will continue to decrease as information such as this spreads word of mouth. read more

Time management is a big bone of contention for me with Allied Pediatrics. They don't value your time, and they don't care if you have an irritable autistic child that can't handle long waits. They will sit you in a room and you will wait....and wait and wait and wait. My son's last appointment was scheduled for 415. We got there 4 minutes early but were still made to wait until 540 to be seen by his pediatrician. That is unacceptable to me. I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't double or even triple booking every appointment slot. read more

Horrible horrible establishment. Bad doctors. Bad nurses. My son screams everytime we walk through the door. Decided to discontinue care because we missed a couple of appointments without a 24 hour notice. And when I tried to explain that the reason for said canceled appointments is because I got called into work DAY OF appointments they were completely unconcerned for my child's well being and completely non understanding for a busy mom who has to work to take care of their child. I was told that it wasn't there problem and they were still going to discontinue care. If you're looking for a pediatric office to take care of your child THIS ISNT THE PLACE TO GO. RUN. read more

My daughter and I came to see Dr Wessels today from Murfreesboro, TN for my grandson's tongue and lip ties. He had a 4th degree lip tie and 1st degree tongue tie. I am happy to say that from the moment we walked in the office, we were pleased. The receptionist and nurses were very nice. Our wait was only a few minutes before we were called back and put in a room. Personally, I was a little guarded after reading a few reviews and really unsure what to expect. I am happy to say that Dr. Wessels is so funny and laid back. I could tell within a few minutes that my daughter made the right decision coming to her. She was very compassionate, and we could tell she loves her patients! She was very loving and caring with my daughter and grandson. She took time with us and we felt so comfortable with her. She was even singing to my grandson. It was precious, and funny. The procedure only took a few minutes and the baby didn't cry but a minute, if that. During the procedure, Abri (NP), explained aftercare. Dr. Wessels and Abri helped my daughter make sure the baby was latching properly and they were WONDERFUL! I cannot say enough great things about every person we came in contact with today, especially Dr. Wessels and Abri. Thanks for taking such great care of us!! (Ooltewah location) read more

We are very happy with all of the staff at Allied Pediatrics. Dr. Wessels remembers my son and always follows up with previous concerns at appointments. All of the practitioners are awesome and don't make you feel rushed at all! They are great about getting you in for same day sick visits as well. My two boys are in good hands here, as will our baby girl when she arrives in a few weeks. read more

Dr. Delia has been our saving grace. My son Oliver (seven months, two weeks) had a tight upper lip tie of the fourth degree with an accompanying second degree tongue tie, which I wasn't able to detect on my own. Dr. Delia's personality and aura along with her expertise made our experience a life-changing one. The lactation consultant (I apologize for forgetting her name but I want to find it) was also a key role in mine and my husband's peace of mind as she informed us of the procedure as it was taking place and distracted us with teaching us about aftercare. We felt relaxed and at ease with her as well. She also answered a vital question I've wanted to ask for a long time, but felt I wouldn't get the proper answer from our local pediatrician. We drove four hours for this procedure, and if we could make the drive every time one of our children needed a doctor, we would do so in a heartbeat. The first night after my son's revisions was bliss compared to what we have been living through. I wasn't expecting an overnight miracle, but this came very close! I can tell his air intake/excessive gas has already been greatly reduced. Nursing is a breeze and never painful. He slept longer stretches than ever before and for the first time ever, he woke a couple of times wanting to play because he was so happy from feeling great. We could immediately tell the difference in him after nursing post-frenectomy. I just cannot stress enough how wonderful this experience has been with Allied Pediatrics. Hands down, 11 out of 10 and would go back time and time again if it weren't for the distance! I'd like to add, it's a wonderful thing that they do have a lactation consultant at the clinic, and I believe every pediatrician should have one. My wish is for more parents to be educated about ties so they know how to help their children and provide them with better quality of life through tie revision. Pediatricians everywhere need to change and be on top of this as it can cause so many issues in babies specifically. It all begins with the parent. If I hadn't went with my instincts and done my research, we would still be living miserably. Educate yourselves and get help because no one deserves to suffer the way we have. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Dr. Delia, lactation consultant (I'm going to find your name) and staff! You are all doing amazing things! read more

We love allied pediatrics. The staff is wonderful and we usually see Tinsley Henley who has been great with our young children.

We LOOOOOOOVE Dr. Wessels and really every other caregiver we have had at Allied. We switched to allied pediatrics after having a difficult time nursing with my second child. At the time our pediatrician was very quick to supplement and offered next to no help with getting breastfeeding on the right track. Several friends recommended Dr. Wessels and we are so thankful they did. I cannot say enough good about the support and care myself and my children (3 now) receive there. 2 tears and counting.... The nurses remember me and my kids between appointments and really pay attention to all that's going on. Definitely would recommend! read more

‼ I DO NOT RECOMMEND ‼ Came here two months ago, with my two boys. The wait wasn't too bad - what I expected, for a doctors office, anyways. Aside from being overly pushy about my four year old wearing a helmet, on his bike, while on grass, Dr. wessels was great. Very thorough and listened to my boys speak, as much as she did to what I had to say. Both of my boys need shots, after which my youngest son was scheduled to have another in two months. After two months, we go back in and arrived a few minutes early. There was one other person waiting when we arrived. After 47 minutes, during which time, four other people had come in, and along with the initial person, had already gone back. I asked a receptionist about the wait, and 55 minutes post arrival, we are heading back. The nurse comes in after a minutes or two and asks if I know what shots my son had received or what shots he needed. I said I did not. She left the room and returned a few minutes later and said that as far as she could see, he doesn't need any shots. I questioned why they wouldn't know this, and she said she was going to talk to dr wessels. After another minutes of going over this, I decided to leave. There is something wrong with the fact that they can look at my sons chat, yet not know what's going on. They entered his information into the system last time, and at that point, he needed more shots. Yet now, he doesn't need more shots - but it should all. E the same information. Nothing should have changed between then and now. On our way out, I saw dr wessels and asked that she call me when she had a chance. I also informed the nurse that I wanted a phone call from dr wessels. I never heard from her. Are they mixing up patients? Was there a mistake made with my sons information? Did they record incorrect information before? Who knows - I never received a call. DO NOT GO HERE. Clearly, they have logistical issues to work out and a child should not be subjected to a medical error due to staff ignorance or incompetence. read more

Dr. Wessels is great but her staff is horrible. The worst I have ever seen. They couldn't even fax the correct document. Took 2 hours. And that's just one incident out of many. Like I said, Dr. Wessels is great and very thorough but she needs different staff read more
