My children were taken to PM Pediatrics and evaluated by a provider who, based on the documentation…read moreand follow-up, handed out two wildly inaccurate diagnoses, unnecessary medications, and showed a dangerous lack of clinical judgment.
My daughter was diagnosed with walking pneumonia despite no imaging, no labs, and no clear clinical justification. She was prescribed an antibiotic, a steroid, and a nebulizer--without confirmation of any actual illness. The chart notes from PM list symptoms that do not align with pneumonia. The next day, she was taken to the ER at Southlake, where she received a full evaluation--including imaging. Their diagnosis? No pneumonia. She had a common cold.
My son was seen the same day for a simple dry cough. He had previously tested positive for rhinovirus (a common cold), which was confirmed via lab. PM Pediatrics diagnosed him with a sinus infection and prescribed Augmentin--despite no nasal symptoms, no sinus pressure, no diagnostic tests, and a chart note that again, shows no symptoms consistent with sinusitis. He was later taken to Clermont Urgent Care, where they evaluated him and concluded it was just a cold. No antibiotics. No issue.
I have video of both kids running and playing full-speed just two evenings later. They were misdiagnosed, overtreated, and their actual condition--completely benign--was verified by two separate, credible facilities.
When I called PM to speak to the provider about what had happened, I was intercepted by a gatekeeper--I believe his name was Nolan--who was unprofessional, dismissive, and combative. He claimed to be a paramedic, yet completely disregarded the importance of parental input and medical follow-up. He made no effort to escalate my concerns, only to delay and block them.
The provider eventually returned my call, but hours had passed. At that point, I took my children's care into the hands of real MDs--ones who care about root cause, proper diagnostics, and clinical integrity.
PM Pediatrics is not a clinic built on safety. It is a speed-based operation that hands out prescriptions without proper assessment, treats concerned parents as problems, and prioritizes efficiency over accuracy. If you value your child's health, get a second opinion and ask for proof--because you won't get it here
