I went here as a kid and now have been bringing my own children. Dr. Maureen has been absolutely fantastic with our two young girls. Especially helpful with our youngest who has a developmental delay and has had more medical issues. Maureen has been a dream helping us navigate all of these medical issues and different appointments with other experts as needed. The practice has been great to my family and I've never had a scheduling issue or anything else come up with them. Looking forward to coming here with the girls for quite some time! read more

I see this place is still pathetic. Was going to take my child here for ear piercing. They needed to cancel the appointment the day of. Fair enough. But I had to call and confirm the appointment 2x. The second time they scheduled it they gave me the wrong time. The receptionist is full of excuses for their poor communication. If you can't be in the 21st century close your doors. read more

Absolutely Terrible Place to take your Children... Very Arrogant Staff that only want's to cover their own you know what. My Daughter has been dealing with Something for over 2 months.. I have had to take things into my own hands after they failed to even do the simplest thing like a culture on our visit. Then made excuses why they did not.. Then put her on Fungal Antibiotics without even knowing if it was for Fungal or Bacterial.. (Then back on Bacterial) IF you choose to go to this Dr make sure its the most basic simple things.. Anything else go to a Better Pediatrician... Our Children come first.. Kidz1st is a catchy name that is it... Children are not suppose to be treated by guess work... Rochester Mi, Walton and Brewster Location. I am from Michigan not California. Not Sure why it shows this review is from Cali... read more

DO NOT take your child here if you want to pace vaccines or forego them. Every care provider here is excellent (hence the one star) except for Dr. Binasio, I'd give ZERO if it were just for her. We went for my sons 2 month checkup and I did not want to do shots quite yet. I signed their waiver and the MA sent in Dr. Binasio who did not even introduce herself, just VERY RUDELY said "we have a strict policy here, you need to leave our office, you're not a good fit" and would not let me talk to say I wanted to pace shots, just quickly left and SLAMMED the door! Wow! Very unimpressed with her level of professionalism!!! Quickly found an office who lets parents think for themselves- what a novel idea! read more

I don't usually post anything on yelp but today I am pretty upset so I need to do it ! I am a brand new in the town and was looking for a nice doctor for my kids. The place is overall nice and the staff is nice, nothing to complain. But I got 2 issues with them and for my first meeting didn't have the best impression ! The day before my appointment I got a text message reminding me about my appointment and the hour was different that the one I had on my agenda. I thought they changed so I came at the time I got on my text message. Obviously it was a mistake, the second hour wasn't working anymore, the front girl was really nice, apologized and gave me another day ! I was upset I had to come for nothing but not a big deal. A few days ago I got a bill telling me I had to pay for the appointment I missed. It wasn't my fault, I came at the appointment at the exact time I got on their text message reminder. I called and sent e-mail to discuss about the bill and they made me feel like it was my fault if I missed the appointment not their. They made me a "favor" avoiding the bill but it would be the last time. I have to admit I don't like the way they talked to me. The second point that bothered me. For my 2 years old physical the nurse told me he had to do an eyes testing. I asked if it was normal she said yes so I trusted her. We went to another room to get him tested. She put all the materials on him and after 3 min trying, she said she couldn't do it because he couldn't stand still and its was a long test apparently. I asked her when we could do it again and she said I had until he would be 6 ! When he was time to pay they made me pay $18.50 for the materials the nurse used on my son for just 3 minutes. I am ok to pay, I just think if she was professional she would have noticed that it would have been impossible to make my two years old, really active son, sit without moving for a long time and would have saved her time and me money if she would have told me right away waht the test was about. So that was only my first experience there... Still don't know if I want to keep going there or not... read more

I had to deal with this office for an entire YEAR AFTER LEAVING. I had just moved across state and picked this office. I had to leave only a few months later. My son's doctor (Dr. Binasio) insulted my concerns on the first visit. I asked about my son's low weight and she just completely dismissed my concern about his loss of appetite because "most Americans are obese or overweight and don't know what a normal weight looks like." She was never pleasant, always impersonal and seemed to dislike parents and children. I finally left the office when she REFUSED to give a referral for speech therapy, even though my son has a long and documented history of speech therapy treatment. I had to spend two days going back and forth on the phone with a middelwoman trying to get this referral and never got it. The doctor refused to talk to me directly on the phone. No doctor has the right to refuse a referral to continue care for no reason. Leaving their practice should have been the end of it, but I had to call them throughout the next year to get my children's records. They wanted a fee for each child, but after I wrote a review on facebook about my experience, they offerred to waive the fees. It became immediately clear that their offer was just to make themselves look better in response to a negative reviewer because I spent the next year trying to keep them at their word. Every time I called about the offer to waive fees, I had to talk to the same woman who kept saying "no, no, no, we always charge a fee and it's our right to do so and she has no idea what I think I saw on their facbook page and how facebook has nothing to do with their fee policies" basically playing the idiot every time I called and ending the conversation with a passive aggressive "ok I talked to the manager and we will waive the fees and fax it over as soon as we can." But month after month the records were never faxed and I had the exact same intolerable phone call with her, always ending with the lie. This was apparently a very satisfying game to her, since she kept it going for a f*cking year. It was a cycle of the new doctor's office telling me at each visit how they had received a message from Kidz 1st saying they won't faxe the records until I pay them, followed by me calling Kidz 1st asking why they are still asking for the fee and then the same woman saying the same crap and pretending she remembered nothing of the promise to waive the fees, how it's always been their promise to charge fees, etc. ONE YEAR of that. The new doctor's staff was extremely patient and after giving me moral support, I finally went to Kidz 1st to demand they keep their written and oral promise and hand over the records. Again I was told that "they can't do it right now, it will take a couple of days." I said I was not leaving without the records because I have heard that lie for a year. As soon as I said that, she said "ok it will be ready in half an hour." Really?? A whole f*cking year of your petty bullsh*t to get records in 30 minutes?? I hand delivered those records to my current doctor's receptionist who gave me a look of astonishment and a high five for finally getting the records from the infamous Kidz 1st. She was genuinely ecstatic that we finally had the records and the ordeal was over. The entire team of Country Creek Pediatrics is amazing for standing by me and waiting patiently for the last year, AND Dr. Samuels is the friendliest, most attentive pediatrician I've ever had for my children. Thank GOD this is over. read more

We just moved in the area. We received a brochure and other information about this place in the mail, welcoming us to the area. This office claims to accept Meridian health insurance on one of info papers sent. Tried to make an appointment for my almost 2 year old son, but Rachel, the lady who returned my call, says they are not accepting new patients with Meridian health insurance. Please update your information on the letter so you won't be wasting my time. read more

I was to meet with one dr. Considine after talking with a rude receptionist who said that I would "be kicked out of the practice if I would not vaccinate my soon to be baby" She did talk about the extra charges if I decided to cancel an appointment and said "good luck finding a school". So I decided to "fire" them and not waste my time with the doctor working in a practice where they start with "threats" for my unborn child. I was treated like a felon for wanting the best of health for my baby who was not even born. I would suggest to this practice communication training, caring for the individual, mutual respect, nutritional training, and up to date facts on legal rights. I am also thankful to their rude staff for guiding me to leave so that I have found a wonderful pediatrician who we rarely see because we are so healthy and nothing was ever denied to us respectful citizens in a free country where our lives should matter the most. I hope parents will educate themselves about their health and their kids and never allow intimidation and lies and instead to hire their doctors instead of being fired by them. read more
