Office not adoption friendly - physicians and nursing team wonderful…read more I was shocked with the receptionist asking for "documentation" and "papers" when my daughter (21 months old, adopted, and looks nothing like me) were called to the counter to register. The check-in process was a simple kiosk asking name and whether or not "the patient" had been seen at the clinic previously. Upon asking for clarification of what was being asked, the receptionist cocked her head and stated "well not to be disrespectful, but did you give birth to her?" After recovering from the brash questioning, I was able to ensure my daughter would still be seen by a physician. I later contacted the Patient Affairs office, as both receptionist and nurse indicated that it was Vanderbilt policy to have adoption documentation on file. Patient Affairs however were unfamiliar with this policy. Aside from that shocking encounter, the actual nursing and physician team were wonderful. It's shame you have to go through that type of front office staff to obtain quality care.

My son had a late night accident and is a 2 year old. So he was already cranky and tired but we…read morebrought him here to just make everything was ok, I understand it's a pandemic that only one parent is allowed but at the same time he wanted both me and my wife to comfort him. The lady with the blonde hair (I never got her name) was a total bitch about it and very rude. Yeah I get it it's "her job" but no one else is here. Let this alone I don't think I'll bring my son back to this facility again. A toddler in pain wants both parents but instead of having compassion toward the fact he is a baby still, so again I would hate for an emergency to happen at night to anyone in the hermitage/mt Juliet area. I wish I could give them a negative one for attitude alone

Be aware!!!!!!…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. Our family was patients of Children's Clinic East and Heritage Medical Associates for more than a decade. During that time, we maintained insurance coverage, attended appointments, followed recommendations, paid our balances, and never experienced any significant issues with the practice. We trusted this organization with our children's healthcare and expected that trust to be reciprocated when we needed support the most. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. When our daughter began experiencing developmental delays and autism-related concerns, we found ourselves navigating a system that increasingly lacked the communication, transparency, and support that families facing complex developmental needs require. As parents, we repeatedly sought answers, clarification, referrals, documentation, and guidance. Rather than receiving clear communication, we frequently found ourselves following up on unresolved concerns and attempting to obtain explanations that never fully materialized. One particularly troubling incident involved a call regarding our daughter's care. I remained on hold for approximately 30 minutes, while my husband, calling separately during the same timeframe, received assistance almost immediately. When we later requested an explanation, none was provided. We were simply informed that the matter had been handled internally. Another concern involved statements suggesting that delays in paperwork may have contributed to delays in our daughter's developmental evaluation process. When we respectfully questioned those statements and sought clarification, communication became increasingly strained. Perhaps most confusing was later being informed that the practice believed our family had intended to leave the practice years earlier. This was inconsistent with our experience, as we continued attending appointments, receiving care, communicating with staff, and relying on the practice as our children's healthcare provider throughout that time. Ultimately, after more than ten years as patients and while actively advocating for our daughter's developmental needs, our family was dismissed from the practice. The issue is not that disagreements occurred. The issue is how concerns were managed once they were raised. In our experience, questions were not answered directly, concerns were not resolved through transparent communication, and attempts to seek clarification often resulted in further frustration rather than resolution. Families navigating developmental delays, autism evaluations, therapy services, and educational planning need a healthcare team that values communication, collaboration, and parental advocacy. Our experience left us with the impression that those qualities were lacking when they mattered most. After more than a decade of loyalty to this practice, the loss of that relationship during one of the most important periods of our daughter's development was deeply disappointing. This review reflects our personal experience and documented interactions with Children's Clinic East and Heritage Medical Associates. Parents considering this practice, particularly those with children who have developmental or special-needs concerns, should carefully evaluate whether the level of communication and support they expect aligns with the experience our family received.

I figured it was about time I wrote a review. Over the years I have been very, very picky about the…read morephysicians my family and I choose to visit. And, I've found it quite difficult to find the right fit, to be honest. So, early on, I really struggled to find the right physician and group for my kids. And, the fact is, when you choose your child's doctor, you aren't just making that choice - you are choosing the office staff, the physical office space and location, the hours, the other group physicians, etc. We lived in Franklin years ago, when my kids were little. I have plenty of "horror" stories of the various physicians and groups we tried out then. From 2004-2008 we were in Florida, and it was even more difficult there - I never found a physician I was confident in! When moving back to Tennessee, a lot of prayer (yes! prayer) went into my search for a new pediatrician. Dr. Pinkley was the first we saw, and we've never regretted that decision. Fantastic facility (and I've been in some nasty offices!), pleasant and helpful staff, generous office hours, great nurses, and we've had good experiences with the other doctors, the few times we were unable to see Dr. Pinkley. We've used this group for 7 years now, and never looked back. We love Dr. Pinkley!

He has young kids and is very knowledgeable on the current science and treatment ideas for kids. He never pushes unnecessary tests or medications and has great recommendations for foods and care for our little girl. The advice line is always really helpful when we call and gives us things to try at home before suggesting we come in. We really enjoy this clinic!
