During my very first visit with my kids to this place was disastrous. After the nurses checked my kids in we waited for 45 minutes before the doctor could arrive. The same day the nurse was so clumsy and poked herself with the needle she used to give the vaccine to my kid, and all the other nurses tried to blame me for it and had a lot of racial slurs to say. The administrator heard everything and even the doctors tried to talk to me. They did nothing to those nurses, during my next visit they came to me and apologize for all the racist stuff they were saying, I was surprised that no action was taken against them. The doctor collected a lab sample from my kid to get it tested, and she did not ever call to inform me what the results were up to today. Find a better place to take your kid. read more

I just want to THANK the front desk staff for their help. My daughter needed paperwork for school and they were so helpful!! Everything was completed quickly!! Tracy W read more

The Doctors are good, but the receptionists almost ALWAYS have a problem no matter what you ask them for. Every time I call their office they have an attitude and is passive aggressive. read more

I've been taking my daughter here for almost 14 years. The doctors and nurses are thorough and caring. The office staff is always friendly and very helpful. They go above and beyond for patients and have helped me so much when needed. I would highly recommend this office! read more

My son saw Dr. Shah today for the first time. She is wonderful! She listened thoroughly, answered any and all questions, and made sure we knew exactly what we needed to do to follow up. I highly recommend her and a great new option at Hamilton Peds. read more

My son has been coming to this practice since he was an infant and he is now 16. I think Dr. Baiser is amazing and he really cares about his patients. The front desk is so so. Sometimes there good and sometimes there not. But as long as we have been attending this practice it will be sad when my son becomes 18 and has to find a new doctor. read more

We absolutely LOVE Dr. Alizadeh and Dr. Baiser-- we haven't had many of them so I cannot speak to all. Dr. Alizadeh really spends time to get to know the family, and gives some great feedback. She was extremely sweet with the baby and toddler. We absolutely love her attention to detail and patience, and sense of maternal care. Dr. Baiser is also very patient and sweet. I think the waiting period at the office get a bit much- particularly in the Hamilton location *much less wait at Columbus*. It can be anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes which is very frustrating, but most of the times its within the 15-minute range. read more

The Hamilton location is HORRIBLE. Mostly the receptionists. They are so rude. And it's EVERY time I call or visit. The Columbus location is so much better. I don't care how busy you are, it's usually a stressful experience for parents and children so a little kindness can go a long way. The Columbus location is much farther for me so if that becomes too much of an inconvenience I will need to change doctors. And apparently the Columbus office has received lots of complaints about the Hamilton staff. read more

Doctors seem very polite and nice but their staff are rude as other reviewers say. My 3 year old was crying because she was scared and the women taking our information said she was spoiled. Last time there read more

Rude receptionists need to be retrained on how to speak and treat patients/customers. I called and got an appointment for my son who is 23 months and when we got there I asked how long the wait was. I was rudely told that everyone else in the waiting room was before us and that doesn't everyone wait at Doctors offices. I thought the whole point of making an appointment was so you could be seen at that time and not an hour and a half later. I really like the doctors though that's the only thing that keeps me going. read more

I've been very happy with the service here at the Hamilton office. It is a very busy office, but they are always accommodating with getting my daughter in for an appointment. I feel that the wait has been reasonable and have found all the doctors to be thorough. I have found the support staff to be nice but not overly friendly because they are busy and are not there to chit-chat - I appreciate them getting me in & out quickly! In addition, for sports requirements they are very quick with the turn around in providing me with the required sign-off on school medical forms. read more

Columbus office is amazing! Jerry at the front desk is very helpful, so sweet and always willing to help! Stacey the nurse is awesome with all my kids and so friendly and the rest of the staff is always so nice and professional. I love all of the doctors. I never wait long in the waiting room! I never feel the doctor rushes us and always feel they take my child's medical needs very serious. Hamilton office is great too I just prefer the Columbus office. After hours emergency line I have used 3xs and the doctors always call right back within 15 min and make sure they help you. I highly recommend hamilton peds!! read more

The office staff is extremely rude. They need customer service training. They also need to learn how to manage a waiting room. I waited 50 minutes for a scheduled flu shot appointment with my daughter. As people that came in after Us came and went. By the time we were brought in she was so anxious from waiting so long .. She was in tears. I took her out of school early and we waited so long it was too late to bring her back for the day ! Scheduled appointments should be taken on time. I waited 3 weeks for an appointment for a flu shot. Healthy children shouldn't have to be exposed to a dr office waiting room for 50 minutes because the office is disorganized or overbooked. And their office managers answer to my concerns ... She will get me a packet to transfer my daughters records elsewhere ! Yes.. I will go to a new doctor. Because apparently you have so many patients, my 7 year old doesn't count. And I will let the insurance companies know of your poor practices as well ! read more

The doctors have been quite good. The rest of the staff is atrocious. One of my sons is autistic and a nurse told me that he really is just spoiled. She's lucky my wife wasn't there or she would have got punched right in the face. This kind of thing is par for the course there. What an ignorant, nasty bunch of animals. read more

I called before getting the appoiment done and asked what the price would be for a new patient without insurence. They told me it will be $125+$25 in case they need to make streptococcal test. No extra testes were done but they charged me $160. The ladys at the front desk have no ideea what they are doing. I will not be returning read more

Looking for a pediatrician? Hamilton Peds is the place. I was a patient as a child until the age of 16, with Dr. Baiser & Dr. Haberman as my physicians, I have nothing but great memories. I have continued to visit the practice with my two children for the past 10 years. There is now two practices in Hamilton and Columbus NJ , with additional Dr.'s having joined the practice over the years. My practice of choice is Columbus office (strictly a personal preference). Reasons being it is 5 min from home, it is a little quieter with a homey feel & just one Dr. Three days a week. Last but not least, the office staff is the most welcoming , caring, and extremely efficient people you can find in a physician setting, always ready to help as quickly as possible. Therefore , making everyone 's life easier. Thank you to all at Hamilton pediatrics for the years of memories, as well as the continued memories you've provided with my own children. Keep up the great work.....The Ronan family read more

This review is being posted in response to Andrea A.'s review from Jan 2017. I believe that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, opinions, and practices...particularly when it comes to parenting. However, a pediatrician's job is not only to treat our children when they are in poor health but also to make difficult treatment decisions that parents are often unable, or unwilling, to make. The topic of vaccination is a controversial one, however to berate a skilled, professional, and passionate doctor for making the difficult decision to protect not only YOUR own child, but the many HUNDREDS of other children that you come into contact with is not only unfair...it is uninformed. Dr. Alizadeh considers the well-being of not only your child, but mine as well, when she "yells" at parents that she feels are making an uninformed decision. I am the mother of three small children ages 7, 5, and 3. I would never want my children's health put at risk because another parent has chosen to forego vaccinations. Do you know how highly contagious preventable diseases like measles can be?? To quote the CDC website: "Measles is a highly contagious virus that lives in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person. It can spread to others through coughing and sneezing. Also, measles virus can live for up to two hours in an airspace where the infected person coughed or sneezed. If other people breathe the contaminated air or touch the infected surface, then touch their eyes, noses, or mouths, they can become infected. Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected." That means that God forbid your unvaccinated child is a carrier for measles and sits in a grocery store cart, plays on the local jungle gym, or sits in a doctor/hospital waiting room...any child that is too young for vaccination, an individual who has a compromised immune system, a cancer patient, a preemie...ANYONE who is in the same space up to 2 hours later has now been placed in harm's way because of your decision to forego vaccination. You have now put not only your own family at risk, but potentially mine as well. Further, to claim that Dr. Alizadeh comes from a third-world country and is therefore biased is not only highly offensive...it is also completely ridiculous. You should value the opinion of someone who has lived, worked, and experienced life outside of the U.S., because she has seen firsthand the damage that preventable diseases can do to entire communities. Dr. Alizadeh has treated my children from birth, in both her private practice, and now as an associate at Hamilton Pediatrics. I cannot sing her praises enough. She has given me support, guidance, and options for childrearing that range from academic to holistic. She will return a phone call at any time, will be available for consultations and follow-ups, and is passionate about my children and family. She visited, and diapered, each of my newborns on the day they were born and continues to remain a source of valuable resource for my family. As parents, we all want to make the right decisions for our children. It is scary to not know the right answer and we all do the best we can. Please stay informed and make informed decisions. read more

I used to come here as a kid. Dr. Jacques is a amazing Doctor and good with child. I called one day to schedule my daughter 2 year physical and had the appt. that week then my phone cut out. So I'd called back and to finish the the scheduling and was told by another receptionist that was really hostile told me I couldn't get the appt. till the next month. The only reason I'm giving them a one star is because of their receptionist is rude and need to be fired. Its a shame because 22 year of my life I came there and seen Dr. Jacques, and they lost me over this stuck up receptionist. read more

The wait is horrific. The wait is NEVER less then 30 minutes and that is just to get into the room then it's an additional 30 more minutes until the doctor comes in for a 1 minute visit. Absolutely unexcusable. read more

Columbus Office! I don't give this place zero stars because it's not an option! Don't go here! The doctors are not sensitive to your needs and get you in and out. I have met most doctors in this practice, I liked ONE of them which kept me going here but now she left, I decided to give it one last chance. Well the last chance was the worst!!! I partially vaccinate my daughter because I believe the vaccines are doing more harm than good! I understand doctors are trained to sell vaccines and at this practice, they have no regards to your thoughts, concerns, or anything but taking your money for that matter. I came in today and saw doctor Alisedah I am not sure if this is correct spelling, I did this reluctantly because she has insinuated that I am the worst parent on earth for delaying some vaccines like MMR. I understand she worked in a third world country where the water is not drinkable, healthcare is not available and she had to experience a lot of kids dying from "preventable diseases" ( which I don't know why they call them preventable when vaccinated children get sick even after being immunized) with that said, she is RUDE! Closed minded and proceeded to yELL at me because she doesn't agree with me not following the CDC schedule, she told me this practice will not continue to see Laila because of this. (To my relief) since I HATED going there for the first year of my daughters life. She is insensitive, should not be treating children. And should take an etiquette class! And also this is AMERICA, where we have drinkable water and healthcare, my child won't die from diarrhea or chicken pox. Your care and knowledge is out dated! And am so glad you won't be handling my daughter anymore. Not to mention they don't even have a bathroom. read more

My daughter is 22 months and has been going to hamilton pediatrics for 5 months now. A few days ago I called the on call doctor because my daughter was exhibiting high fevers. On top of that she had been vomiting prior and showing signs of ear infection. The doctor told me to come in bright and early at 9 am the next morning and said I did not need an appointment. I show up the next morning and sign in. At this point my daughters fever was still up and she had puss pouring out of her ears. People that were arriving after me were being seen before us. When I asked them why we were being passed over they replied it was because she didn't have an appointment. At which point I told them what the doctor said and they told me it didn't matter what he said and that these people had made these appointments for their physicals weeks ago. They were exceptionally rude and even a nurse started yelling from behind the desk that this was their policy. Pretty much if your sick everyone else will be seen before you. That same day my daughter went to the Emergency room and has now been admitted to the hospital with RSV and pneumonia in both lungs. DO NOT take your children here. For months my child had an ear infection that wouldn't go away and when I finally got a referral out of them, the ENT said that she should have had tubes put in a month ago. He had never seen a child pumped so full with antibiotics in his career. They do not seem to have the child's best interests in mind and as parent that should be number one when it comes to a pediatrician and their staff. read more
