I don't know how to feel about this office. There are some people there who go above and beyond to…read morehelp find appointments and make sure that you can get seen by a doctor, even if you're as annoying of a patient as I am. That being said, I don't know how I feel about how worn out the doctors may be. I love my doctor and I've had him for 13 years. He was a part of the Crozer system Which obviously got shut down very quickly and then he came to Mainline Health. A lot of of us had trouble getting our records back from the company that bankrupted Crozer although it seemed that they maintained some of my records, at least for medications, because someone read them out to me on the phone once and I know they weren't guessing because there were so many. Because I have complicated health problems and cannot always make it in when I want to, I got told that the next appointment that was available with my doctor - because I was a new patient (which is vaguely disconcerting) - was not until 2028. At the time by law, this doctor was supposed to be talking to me every six weeks. I don't see how the bottom can hold in a situation like that, but it was pleasant enough when I went there. I'm hoping that they take a bit off the of the doctors. I don't know if they have quotas or not, but it seems like if you can't get in to see a doctor for two years that that is an administrative problem. That being said like I said earlier, the people that work there I've had nothing but good conversations with and they have been nothing but patient with me and I'm just kind of waiting to see how it plays out. Their portal is probably the most frustrating thing I have ever dealt with besides trying to get through a human being from a customer service prospective or getting a pinky on the fourth fret when you have 13-year-old girl hands and are learning to play guitar. I haven't been to anybody but my primary care physician yet but I do have to see a few specialist and get an MRI so this review is subject to change based on those experiences.

They schedule appointments at 7am and tell you to arrive at 6:30am but the center doesn't open…read moreuntil 5minutes before 7am so don't bother arriving early as you will have to stand outside and wait as the staff walks by you goes inside while trying to ignore the crowd standing and waiting at the door

I came here on a recommendation of a friend. So far over 8 years…read more Plenty of strip mall parking. Easy to make appointments. I never had to wait for an appointment. We don't see a specific doctor since it's usually a wellness checkup. So far each doctor has been friendly toward my child so no complaints there. They have three waiting rooms: a) Sick kids b) healthy kids c) adolescents There are plenty of patient rooms which are roomy. There is a check in deck and check out area for privacy. The normal routine has an eye check so if you go to an eye doctor then ask them to pass as you/your insurance will be billed for it. On the way out the kids are given a sticker and a pretzel. You can get a print out of shots/stats when you're there. Otherwise I believe there is a charge which is normal these days. Once a year they hold a flu shot clinic which I love. It's on a Saturday and the office is close to regular patients. They only give out flu shots. They usually have a theme and the kids get prizes such as coloring books, snacks...etc. Will I be back? Yup!

I have to give Advocare Children's Medical Associates five stars. I might actually win the record…read morefor going there the longest - almost 27 years now - from my oldest daughter to my youngest who is turning 16 soon and will be moving to a regular doctor's office. I stopped by Advocare this morning to drop off some paperwork, and I suddenly felt a little melancholy and realized I will miss it. Dr. Mehalick and Dr. Ringiewicz have been there since the beginning and they've been great, and the staff has always been helpful and met any needs that we had. That said, I do agree with the previous reviewer that they could use a little bit of a facelift. I don't think the office has changed much in the last 27 years. Some new carpeting and a nice paint job would do the trick. Thanks Advocare for the memories! It's been real.

Just transferred from another pediatrician and so glad. The place is cute. Looks like fresh paint…read more It's a pediatric doctor, it's going to be more cute then contemporary. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The doctor was great. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a pediatrician
