You have to leave a message and then hope and pray you are right there with your phone when they call you back because if you miss that call you have to call back and yet again leave a message. It is very frustrating that you have to be available for them yet they are unavailable to you. I work and cannot answer my phone all the time. When I am able to call I need to be able to speak with someone.

My husband and I found good reviews online for Dr. Dorothy Butler who is one of the pediatricians…read moreat this location. We interviewed her before our first child was born and immediately felt comfortable with her gentle and considerate nature. She works a reduced, pre-retirement schedule, but we decided to continue seeing her until she retires then trust her recommendation for another doctor at the clinic. This location has a selection of physicians, but you can request to set up appointments with specific ones. Since there are a good number of doctors, scheduling and rescheduling appointments is very convenient; you can even schedule on the day of if needed. For those sudden sicknesses, they have a sick waiting room and also a well patient waiting room for check-ups. We also love the convenient online check-in that can be completed from home. If completed before arrival, you can just quickly check in with the receptionist then head to the waiting room -- no refilling out papers every visit! All the office staff and nurses that we have met have been very helpful and friendly, and the nurses are super fast with shots! If you blink, you'll miss them!

She has helped partner with his doctors at the VA to help ensure he is always in the best health and has consistent care. The care they provide is beyond words. If you are new in the area, looking for a new doctor or are unsure what direct primary care is, please give them a call!! You will NOT be let down.

Dr. Mitchell is exceptional. Her patience, thorough explanations, and ability to create a…read morecomfortable atmosphere for both my children and myself make her a top choice for pediatric care. We have never encountered any difficulties making immediate appointments, and the office consistently accommodates sick visits. She has a fun, laidback personality, has great suggestions but is never pushy, and I am beyond grateful that we found her!

I've been taking my almost 14 year old son to pediatrics east for years. We tried a few different…read morepediatricians when he was little until we found the perfect fit with pediatrics east. I believe he was around 5 years old. This year his pediatrician retired so we switched offices and started seeing Dr. Fesmire. We have loved pediatrics east. They always listen to and address my concerns and voice any concerns they have. Years ago my son was seen by doctors that did not exhibit this level of care. They would simply tell me what to do without listening to the fact I had been doing those things for a very long time. My son is very small for his age. He has just recently started to sprout. The staff at pediatrics east has always listened to me. They believe that the parents really know their children and will ask questions if there are concerns. I love this. My infant daughter is now in their care. Dr. Fesmire checks my children over thoroughly and compliments me when we speak about little things like changing my baby's baby wash due to eczema. It really makes you feel better as a parent to be told you are doing things right. The love they have for the children and the respect they show the parents really makes pediatrics east a true blessing.

We will probably be switching to a regular doctor soon because my son is aging out of pediatric…read morecare. We've been with Laurelwood since his birth and he is now 16. Over the years, I have had up and down experiences with Laurelwood. Here are my pros and cons: PROS: Friendly staff Great nurses Docs come highly recommended CONS: Our doctor is lovely but I feel like she's given me very limited options over the years to treat my sons autism and severe ADHD. Talking to other mothers, I felt like there were other options but when I brought them up, she always suggested staying the route. She referred us to a psychiatrist once but that was not a good experience. I once asked her if we could consult with another doctor in the practice because I had seen several articles he and others had written about his expertise with autistic kids. She took offense to my question and said she was the "autism expert" at Laurelwood. I did not like that and considered it to be very unprofessional. If your child is well and has no disabilities, I could see why you think this practice is perfect. However, if your child is sick on a regular basis or has disabilities, I would suggest finding a pediatrician who is open to trying everything possible to help your child.

When our son was born a few years ago my wife and I didn't know WHO we wanted as our long-term…read morepediatrician, but we knew what KIND of pediatrician we wanted. We wanted a doctor that had the feel of the long-lost small town family doctor like you might think just walked off the set of the Andy Griffith Show or out of a Norman Rockwell painting. One that had enough concern when necessary, but wasn't ordering dozens of tests and causing unnecessary stress for a sore throat or common cold! While I can't give my opinion on the other pediatricians in the practice, as we have never taken our son to anyone besides Dr. John Ellis, I can say that it would be safe to assume that anyone as great as Dr. Ellis would not associate himself with fellow practice members that are below par. I know what you're thinking, "Well, that's great and all, but I want someone who is up-to-date on current medical knowledge and procedures, not someone "old fashioned." Hold your horses there! Dr. Ellis not only has one of the best and most relaxed "bedside" manners of any physician I know (and I know a lot) but he is the former Chief of Pediatrics for Baptist Memorial and a former President of the Memphis & Mid-South Pediatric Society. That is a resume that I can approve of! In a day and age when it seems that a large percentage of newer and younger physicians have become complacent and just throw prescriptions down a patients throat and call it "doctoring", Dr. Ellis is a diamond in the rough. I just hope I'm not condemning myself to long wait times when you all rush to make appointments after reading this! Be well! *I am marking that the office is not "by appointment only" only due to the fact that they do have morning hours several days a week for walk-in. You should, of course, call the office and check as to what days and times the walk-in hours are offered.

Rest assured that if you have a doctor at the Memphis Children's Clinic then your child is in good hands. My child's doctor is Scott Kloek and he is fantastic. He listens to any concerns I have and is great with my daughter. He explains any terminology to both myself and my daughter. Dr. Whitehead is another doctor in the clinic that I have seen and he also has an excellent rapport with both the parents and the children. They offer the kind of service you'd expect from a private practice without the lengthy wait. All in all one of the best Ped groups in the city.
