Do not go here if you are on state insurance. You will feel judged and embarrassed. Doctor was great but nurses and front desk are rude

Our boys have gone here 14 and 12 years respectively. Usually saw Dr Hulsen, who is no longer with the practice. Getting scheduled when the boys were little and sick was always a possibility. They worked to squeeze us in. That said, in 14 years I think we left the waiting room to head back at our scheduled time about twice in 14 years. Usually running behind. I get it, tough to stay on time as a pediatrician if you are going to squeeze people in. Good to work with on getting letters for school, info sent, etc.. Front desk was ok. People have bad days so it wasn't always perfect, only one incident in 14 years that wasn't great. We have always thought the nurses did a good job. Dr Hulsen was ok, and the other doctors that we saw in a pinch were solid. I'm kind of a small town guy so I would have appreciated a little more individual feel, but it's a business and it's a larger town and they are seeing hundreds each day I would assume. Considering that and they probably need the volume to pay the rent and all the Drs, nurses and admin, pretty personable. If we had more little ones or eventually grandkids we'd probably go back here unless a friend just had an overwhelmingly good experience somewhere else. read more

Dr Kim-Judd is AMAZING. My daughter absolutely loves working with her & she is very patient. She is also thorough. I appreciate her advocacy for her patients and how she speaks directly to my child. read more

After asking many of our friends who already had kids who is the best pediatrician in the Metro-East we decided to see Dr. Nauman at Bard & Didriksen Pediatrics. We are very glad we did. Dr. Nauman and the staff are awesome. They always listen and are more than willing to answer any questions (even those from an over-reactive new parent). The one thing I really like about this office besides that great staff is they have separate waiting rooms for well patients and those that are sick. No more sitting in a room full of sick people when you are there for a check-up. I highly recommend Bard & Didriksen Pediatrics! read more

Dr didriksen was our ped for about 6 months last year. I didn't get very good vibes around her, or the front desk staff. The front desk was not that friendly, and the doctor didn't seem that keen on breastfeeding. It's hard to explain but I always felt like a nuisance when I was there. It didn't feel very welcoming. In addition, the office isn't ADA accessible so it was hard physically enter the office with a stroller. read more

Breastfeeding & Treatment of Established Patients: My two oldest children (17 year old daughter and 15 year old son) had been patients of Didrikson's office since birth. My daughter saw Didrikson and my son saw another doctor within the practice. I was very excited to have Dr. Didrikson for my third child's doctor, who was born in June of 2016. However, I can tell you that if I had followed Didrikson's ill-informed advice, my six month old son would no longer be getting breast milk. At one week, Dr. D was not satisfied with his weight, based off of nothing other than a chart. She barely even looked at him. She recommended we supplement with formula at every feeding as she recommended with my oldest, seventeen years ago. My husband and I politely nodded and went to Anderson Hospital to touch base with the lactation consultant. When Didrikson learned of this visit, she had her staff call us and demand that we come in the next day. I was told that we HAD to bring him in and that if he hadn't gained weight that we HAD to supplement. Dr. Didrikson was using his birth weight as a baseline. My husband asked about the studies that show a baby's birth weight is artificially elevated if the mother has had IV fluids during labor. He asked this because I ended up having an epidural one hour prior to our baby boy's birth due to complications at 8 centimeters dilated. Again, my husband was very polite. Dr. Didrikson's nurse called back and told us that "of course" she was aware of those studies, but that's not information they consider. We felt very confused, so we cancelled the appointment that she demanded we go to and saw another pedi for a second opinion. This pedi (second opinion) was very pleased with how our baby boy looked, along with his alertness. This pediatrician held him and interacted with him. And she was more than happy to base his breastfeeding success on the weight 48 hours after birth. As a result, this little guy started gaining weight right in line with the timeline that breastfed babies normally do. Fortunately, I had a very informed and supportive husband. We also kept in contact with people who supported breastfeeding and could provide us with information and tips. I'm sure many mothers follow Dr. Didrikson's advice as I once did when my daughter was born 17 years ago. I would highly advise new mothers to be cautious with accepting Dr. Didrikson's advice in relation to breastfeeding, because it may sabotage their chances of successfully nursing. Dr. Didrikson did not seem to grasp the concept of "supply and demand" when I originally expressed my concerns. She was also very pro-formula in conversation. Up to this point, everything had been progressing wonderfully. Well, a couple of weeks later, Didrikson had her staff nurse call us again and demand that we bring our baby in for a weight check. We explained that we were now taking our baby to a different doctor simply due to a difference in perspective when it came to breastfeeding. This was shared in the most kind way. I then received a call back from a nurse who told me that if I wanted my teenagers to continue at their facility, then my baby must continue there as well. I was not allowed to bring my baby boy to a different doctor's office. If I did, my two teenagers would be released from their office. My two older children were very hurt by this response. My daughter felt very rejected and confused by Dr. Didrikson's reaction to this situation. My son even saw a different doctor within the practice and was still released from their facility. I really do feel Dr. Didrikson put her "ego" before her patients in this situation. My ex-husband (my teenager's father) even went the extra mile to speak in person with Dr. Didrikson about our teenagers continuing to be seen at her practice, if he became the new contact person. Besides, the teenager's insurance is through their father, my ex-husband. Dr. Didrikson was unable to meet with him and had her office manager tell him, "no" because all previous contact in the past had been with me. Keep in mind, following our initial appointment with Didrikison, Dr. D had never contacted us personally through any of this experience. Everything was communicated through her staff members, even the dismissal of my two teens. Strangely, my husband's three other boys were allowed to continue at her practice. My step sons see the same doctor that my son saw before being released. This made absolutely no sense to us. Especially, considering I was the one who scheduled my step kid's appointments and communicated with their doctor and nurses. This totally contradicted the reason Dr. D gave my ex-husband in relation to our children continuing at her practice. My husband has chosen to keep his boys (my step sons) at Dr. D's practice only because their doctor is an excellent doctor. We would have been happy to keep my son with him and make him our baby's doctor. read more

My son is sick and has fever for three days now. I ask for an appointment today at 3 PM, and the staff (receptionist, nurse and office manager) all refused to set up an appointment for my son. They said it's already late in the afternoon and they have to go home on time in a manner of speaking. I asked if I can speak to the doctor and plead if she can spare a few minutes of her time to see my son. The Office manager, Kathy, refused and suggested that we go to the urgent care in a very perky but mocking manner. The nurse is no comfort either. You would think that a clinic for kids, the staff would have been accommodating and understanding. No, they are all very cold, calculative, uncaring and are only concerned about going home on time. They keep telling me that it's 1.5 hours before closing. Shame on all of you! You should not be in a caring profession! read more

They do not accept Medicaid, so our child cannot go there. I was surprised given commitments to medical access included in bio/profiles.

The best place in town! They are very good with fitting into your schedule. Have been going to Dr. Bard since I was a baby. I'm not ready to find an adult Doctor yet.. love it here too much! read more

I had an awful experience with Dr. Didrikson. I remember telling my husband I never knew which side of her I was going to see. She would be kind and encouraging one day and then very harsh and frightening the next. As a new mom, I certainly didn't need anyone to make me more nervous than I already was. From her posters of sick children on the wall to telling me that sick babies end up in STL children's hospital with spinal taps, she only heightened my existing postpartum anxiety and depression. Her measures were always over the top, sending us to the ER multiple times for spit up issues. She questioned my ability to feed my child and was constantly suggesting I supplement with formula "just in case I ever couldn't feed him anymore". I never understood that and never felt supported by her. I went on to nurse my child successfully for a full year, despite her unfounded concerns. Leaving her practice was one of the best decisions I could have made for my family and my own mental health. I would not recommend her to anyone, especially new impressionable first time parents. read more

TERRIBLE experience at Bard & Didriksen. I made the decision to switch pediatricians for my toddler and Dr. Bard was recommended. At his new patient appointment we waited 35 minutes to see Dr. Bard. I was not happy with the wait time, but thought it might just be a fluke. One week later I took my son to see Dr. Bard because he was ill and we waited 50 minutes in the sick-child waiting area. I asked the front desk at 25 minutes how long it would be, and all she said was,"Your son is next." At 40 minutes I asked a nurse when my son was going to be seen; she went back and presumably asked Dr. Bard's nurse about my son's appointment time. Then, she came back and told me the same vague answer ... he was next. When we were finally escorted back not one person in the office apologized for the wait time or offered an explanation as to why we waited so long. When I asked to speak with the office manager Dr. Bard immediately came in. Her demeanor was unapologetic and off-putting, as if she were doing me a favor by seeing my son. I asked her if this is how she runs her practice with 35-50 minute wait times being standard, and she told me, "I can't make any promises." She kept trying to talk over me and, though she had my son's medical chart in front of her, she was unfamiliar with his medical history. I received a refund for my insurance copay that day and switched pediatricians immediately. I would never recommend her or her medical practice to anyone. read more
