This office was recommended to me by a friend and I liked that it's a pretty short drive from our…read morehome. We've had three appointments thus far, and they average out to three stars. Appointment 1 - we were seen before scheduled appointment time. Appointment 2 - we weren't seen until 45 minutes past scheduled appointment time, with no apology or explanation for the wait. Appointment 3 - we were seen within 10 minutes of appointment time. The entrance to the office is somewhat confusing to find, as there is a group of buildings (all pointing different directions) with not much signage and parking on either side (imagine a half circle with the buildings in the middle and parking on two opposite sides) and the office entrance is actually facing the inside of the compound so it took a few minutes to locate. The actual office entryway/check-in desk is very cramped (barely enough room to walk in with a carseat--forget about someone trying to get in while you're standing there) and the waiting room feels cramped as well, though it's just on the small side (~10 seats). It looks a bit worn and outdated but it felt and looked clean enough. The staff is nice enough--not the best I've experienced but not the worst, either. It's definitely more "homey" feeling than the clinics at the Naval Hospital...and it's not as advanced, either. I was a bit surprised at the scale they used to weigh my newborn...at the Naval Hospital, it was a fancy digital scale that automatically took three separate readings and averaged them. At this office? An old fashioned medical weight scale (where you slide the weights across the bars to get it balanced). Well, that's fine for bigger kids and adults...but a newborn? The nurses and doctor seem to enjoy what they're doing and interacted well with my baby. I never felt rushed, but then we were only there for well-baby checks. Everyone was nice. That said, we're changing offices because they don't do immunizations for Tricare, and my whole reasoning for going to an in-town doctor was to avoid having to drive on-base all the time. Also, they seemed to imply that no town doctors could do immunizations (or maybe I misunderstood, but they certainly assured me THEY couldn't do them) somid have to go on base. Well, whatever the case, I did find a pediatrician's office that does immunizations, so I'm not exactly sure why Martin's doesn't do them. So, if you have babies and Tricare insurance, I'd probably not go here just for the inconvenience factor. But for other insurance or older kids who don't need the frequent vaccines, this place would be fine.

I had completed the paperwork and returned it before hand for the doctor to look over before our appointment. When we got there they handed me the same stack of questions to answer. Letting me know first hand that the doctor had not reviewed anything before our appointment. There were two, one filled out by patents and the other by her teacher. One of the first questions she asked was about us being self pay. I replied with, "Unfortunately I make too much money to be able to afford health insurance at this time". Yes I know a complete oxymoron. But when you're self-employed and your income is high, you're unable to purchase health insurance at any kind of reasonable cost. At no point did I say I don't have the money to be able to afford testing or therapy for my child, but this is how the doctor acted the whole time. My child has ADHD, OCD, anxiety which has manifested it self into a sensory processing disorder. She sat and had a conversation with my child, my daughter looked her in the eyes, held a conversation. I talked about family history, how I also have OCD anxiety and ADD. I told her how, unfortunately I was not diagnosed until adulthood, and I did not want my child to face the same struggles I did growing up in school. I wanted to stay on top of things and not have her struggle, doing day-to-day tasks that are easy for a "normal" child to do. Explained our difficulties in the morning, with My child's SPD and how it affects us every single day. I showed her the bottom of my child's feet where she picks up them from anxiety, it's also something I suffer from as well as do a lot of other Americans about 70%. But she wasn't listening, she didn't care. She said "I want to know where she is on the spectrum, and those tests are really, really expensive". I made her aware, that my mother gives these tests to children and has been doing so for over 20 years. I also explained to her that her teacher from kindergarten through second grade also gives test for IEP's to see, where children are on the spectrum. My child is not on the spectrum. I repeat my child is not on the spectrum. I said, you just had a conversation with her, she talked to every person in this office when she got here, she has no issues socially. Her sensory processing disorder, is a manifestation of her ADHD, OCD, anxiety. NOT every child who has a sensory processing disorder is on the spectrum. Why do I know this, and she not know? She wanted me to have my child tested through the school system. It is a long process and it will label my child with an IEP that will follow her into adult hood. That is not what I was there looking for. I was there to get her started on medication for her ADHD as this is her first year in public school. I was there for her to get a referral for OT therapy to work on her SPD. As a sensory processing disorder is not something she's going to grow out of but, something she needs to learn how to cope with. The doctor then said to me "well obviously keep doing what you're doing because it's working!" Why on earth would I be there talking to her if what I was doing at home was working? I'd just told her every day was a struggle to find a pair shoes that may have been OK the day before, but now my child thinks her feet are being set on fire by them, or a pair of pants that may feel soft to me but to my child it they feel like 20 million ants are biting her legs. This doctor did not give two cents about what me as a parent was telling her about my child. She not once looked over the paperwork that I had filled out with my husband and that her teacher had filled out. She said "hopefully we can find something that's affordable for for your child". When she saw the look on my face she quickly changed it to "Oh, oh..I mean a therapy that will work for your daughter". Why was my appointment for my child based on what she thought I could or could not afford? This is unacceptable. It's unacceptable that she did not take my family history into consideration, refused to take anything that I said into consideration, that she took my financial status, that she has no idea about and used that to dictate our whole appointment with her. I have never been more disgusted in my life with a physician it was completely disgusting. I will go back to coastal children's clinic and see other doctors, ONLY for primary care, I will never return here for anything other than that. This woman is a disgusting human being, who is judge mental, who needs to learn what "listening ears" are, something I taught my daughter when she was two years old. What a disgrace.

When you first arrive, due to Covid, you do have to call their line and they send someone out to do a quick temperature check and just to make sure you do not have COVID symptoms. Once they do this and you get the all clear, they send you in where you are directed to a room. They have always been quick and send you any surveys you have to complete prior to you arrive which is nice and once again makes the appointment go by very quickly. When the doctors come in they are very personable. I really feel like they not only know my child, but also would recognize her outside of the office if we ran into any of them. The final part is when they do their shots, they are super quick. Fantastic experience overall and very happy that our little one gets to go to such an amazing doctors office.

Judging from the website, their practice most closely resembles the one we left in CA (which we LOVED). I called to inquire about making a new patient appointment and the nurse flatly said I can't make an appointment without records from my previous pediatrician being sent to their office first. No biggie, I emailed the old office and they promptly sent over the records. I called 10 business days later to schedule the appointment and was told they don't have the records yet. Weird. I called back twice a week for a month to check. No records. Finally I emailed over my kids immunization records explaining my baby needs to be vaccinated. The nurse emailed back confirming the vaccination records but stated I can't schedule an appointment without the full medical record. I emailed a week later asking if they've received the records yet. She then calls me and says I can't schedule an appointment b/c my kids are behind on thier immunizations and that I should take them to the Health Department to get caught up. After that, I can come into the office for a well visit. So now, after six weeks, I've decided to go elsewhere.
