This practice has taken care of all three of my kids and two of my grandkids! Dr. Greg is the best!! We have seen from Dr. Bennett The founder), Dr. Johnson, . Savel and present day Drs. My daughter is now expecting, there is no where else I'd recommend! Dr. Greg was the first face she saw when she was born!!! Very excited to continue the tradition with the safest, best drs around!!! As far as vaccines, if they felt they are unsafe it would not be given!!! read more

This is a wonderful practice. I would absolutely recommend them. This is where the local doctors bring their own children. We usually see Dr. Greg, who has a ton of experience and always answers every question I have. read more

If you're a parent and you are hesitant on vaccines DO NOT Go to this pediatric center. They will shame you and try to talk you into forcing a vaccines on your kids. They only care about meeting there metrics for having everyone vaccinated they don't care about any studies that show that vaccines do not always work and can lead to health issues. If you're a parent and cares about your kids long term well being do your own research and don't take advice from people who only see one way and are not open to other options. We choose to protect our son and find a practice that lets the parents choose and not feel like we are forced to something to our kid that we don't feel is in their best interest. Just Know that there are reputable pediatricians in the area that don't hold these same values. They allow parents to choose. Also know that not all daycares require vaccinations. Please know you have options and aren't forced to comply read more

Meh it's okay? You get random doctors each time One female doctor will put her ungloved hand in your child's mouth. It's gross. I would think in this day and age of post Covid you'd wear a glove. All doctors should wear gloves examining babies?! read more

In the past I never had an issue with calling in speaking to a nurse and getting an appointment if my child was feeling sick. As a fist time parent talking to a medical staff member about symptoms was always helpful, and they were accommodating and fast when we decided they need to be seen. Yesterday I called because my child (2 1/2 YOA) woke up with a swollen face and was unable to open his eyes. He was crying in pain and said his eye hurt. I called immediately and told the nurse what was going on and that I was worried. She placed me on hold to look for an appointment time. The next thing I know, another female was on the line. Renea from their billing department jumped on and decided this was the proper time to ask me if I had followed up with the insurance company about a $200 payment due. I was absolutely shocked that she found it appropriate to use that time to speak with me about billing. I didn't even have a time of place where my child could be seen yet and she was demanding answers. On a previous interaction with Renea we had talked about the misunderstanding between the insurance company. she was very rude and didn't understanding why I wasn't willing to pay the bill if the insurance was going to pay it. I ended up calling the insurance who advised her they needed her to file a document before sending the funds and it will all be straightened out. She claimed she sent the document and was asking me for follow up on it but demanded that I pay and that they would refund me once the insurance company pays them. After telling her I would once again call the insurance company and do follow up for her on a document she sent. And told her this was an unprofessional and inappropriate time she place me back on hold. I still have a sick crying child with me and I have no idea what's wrong. I realized I couldn't allow my child to be treated like a number and if they weren't willing to take care of my child and his medical issue first that this isn't the place for my family. I took him to a near by urgent care center. read more

The Good: It was easy to get an appointment after our son was born, the receptionist and nurses we spoke with were great, and the office was really clean. There wasn't anyone in the waiting room when we arrived and that was a nice perk because we didn't want to risk our son's health due to COVID. The Bad: We saw Dr. Odom who didn't spend a lot of time listening to our concerns and acted as if she was impatient with us. Our son lost a bit of weight in the hospital (something that is normal) and the doctor made us feel as if we'd done something wrong. She talked over us with a really loud voice, made us feel like terrible parents, and even made mention that our son (who was only three days old at the time) may need to go back to the hospital. She only looked at our boy for about 10 seconds, put an unwashed finger into his mouth, and then dumped a bunch of Similac formula into our laps (even though we told her we were breastfeeding) and told us to come back in the next week for a weight check. She contradicted what we were told by the staff at St. Josephs hospital multiple times and acted as if those doctors were idiots. For two new parents who had only gotten out of the hospital with their new son about 16 hours prior, who were tired, exhausted, but excited about their baby, who had multiple pediatricians, OB nurses, and lactation consultants tell us everything was fine at the hospital, it was a really crap experience to be told by Dr. Odom that things were not in fact, fine. We've decided to not give Myrtle Avenue Pediatrics overview of our son's health going forward and we advise other parents to do the same. read more

They are open 365 days a year and open on weekends, as a parent that's just awesome on top of awesome. Especially when you work business hours and the world does not revolve around when you get off work. To top it off, they were friendly, the prices were reasonable, excellent bedside manner, I could go on and on. The office is kid-friendly, but it would be cool to see animated characters on the wall and for it's decor to be more happy over-the-top versus more like a drab dental office. That's neither here, nor there--one day they may decide to get an update to make them look as cool as they actually are. They have a funny video on their website, I'd like to see it reflected in the building but it's not truly pertinent. They truly value their patients, and I'm referencing not only the little ones but the parents too. Scheduling appointments is relatively easy and just everything about my experience with them on several occasions were always positive with consistency. That's a task in itself because everyone has a bad day! They manage to make pediatric visits what it should be, excellent care for the child! read more

Iv been going here as a patient since my parents brought me here as a newborn, I'm currently 25. They are amazing and Iv never had a bad experience here. Dr Greg is a absolute gem I am currently pregnant with my first and can't wait to make my baby's first appointment here. read more

Dr. Kelly is rude, condescending, and not willing to discuss any concerns. Furthermore, she has the attitude that the government and the doctors office should make decisions for your child's health and not you as the parent. Basically she offered us to do as she says or find another pediatrician group. She must have forgotten about her oath and just looking to be compensated for medications administered and sold. Dr. Savel was a pleasure in comparison. read more

Dr. Greg and his staff are second to none in the Clearwater area. He brings a Patch Adams approach to pediatric medicine and shows his love and adoration for every patient he treats. Not to mention, every doctor we've seen there has had the same regard for our children. Whether you meet with a PA, Nurse, Nurse's assistant, or MD, you are in caring and loving hands. Due to their care, intellect, and network, these doctors were able to work with ethical, spiritual, and religious concerns regarding immunizations, vaccines, and raising children on every occasion. From one proud parent to another, I highly recommend Dr. Greg and Myrtle Ave Pediatricians. Thank you so much for loving our children to better health each and every year, as well as providing a world class medical clinic capable of servicing all of our needs, from school forms to referrals and onward. We appreciate you dearly. Thank you. read more

We love the Dr's here!!! Very friendly and all are patient with our 2 and a half year old daughter. Been coming here since she was born :)

Great Pediatric Office! We take both of our kids here (aged 4 months and 8 years) and love all the doctors and staff. The doctors are thorough and have a great bedside manners. Everyone is friendly and kind and always willing to answer any questions you have in person or on the phone. They have early morning hours to get an appointment before school and are even open on Saturdays for sick visits. We have never had a problem getting an appointment. I Also like that they have a "healthy kids room" so if you are just going in for a normal check up, you don't have to sit where all the sick kids have been. Their website is also helpful and full of useful information. I have recommended this office to many new parents in the area. read more

No one better in Pinellas County. I have been with this office for 19 years and counting, and dread the day my girls are too old to be seen here. The office is open every day even holidays. I have always been seen the day I call if necessary, and visits are efficient and quick; barely a wait time in the clean waiting area. Referrals have always been to the best specialists and this office always follows up on those. Now if they would only see adults so we could all be this well taken care of.... read more

I took my infant to the dr there and was told she just sinuses. I told the Dr I thought it was more and he said no it was just sinuses so I said ok and left. A couple weeks later (after the hurricane) I took her back and the dr told me she had a severe sinus infection why did I wait so long to bring her to be seen? I told him I had brought her in previously and he saw her and said it was just sinuses- he gave her a strong steroid and antibiotic. We brought her back 2 or 3 tines after saying again she still isn't well. They said nope just sinuses. The next day We got a call from daycare that her temp was 104-105 called right around the time the close and was told we can't stay take her to the after hours pediatric urgent care. We took her there they did multiple test on her and found she had Pneumonia. With 4-5 visits to the dr it should have NEVER gottenthst bad. When I called the office to complain to the manager. She had the dr that had seen my daughter last call me back to explain her last exam.. the dr said well she must have gotten the pneumonia overnight I switched drs and will not go back to them read more

I'd rate more than 5 stars if I could. I've been going to Myrtle Ave pediatrics for over 15 years. Best staff around, caring. Dedicated. Hard working. Dr.Savel is the best Doctor around, he is compassionate, caring and always able to make you smile. read more

The doctors in this practice should not be allowed to have privileges at Morton Plant Hospital - one of the few Florida hospitals awarded Baby Friendly status. They proved to be incredibly ignorant about breastfeeding and adequate infant weight gain. From pushing formula at our first post-hospital visit, to implying that there was not enough fat in my breast milk (and that I needed to eat more) to stating that my child looked like a 3rd world baby.... recipe for postpartum depression, anyone? Fortunately, unbeknownst to the doctor, I am a medical provider myself and friends with a variety of health care professionals who were able to offer support and sound medical advice during this challenging time. I must also add that I was astounded by the lack of professionalism and respect towards other healthcare professionals: most notably the lactation consultants at Morton Plant. This day and age it takes a team to practice medicine and doctors who look down on anyone without an MD behind their name should retire. read more

We were visiting from Oklahoma on vacation and day 2 my son got too much water in his ears and developed swimmers ear! Looked for an urgent care on Yelp and Myrtle Ave Pediatrics came up. Called and they got us in within an hour. Friendly office staff and LOVED Dr Savel. He burst into the room with a huge hello. Quickly looked my sons ears over, checked throat and nose and confirmed swimmers ear. Gave him drops before heading out the door and a script and we were on our way for vacation. If we lived here we would be patients!! Thank you SO much from the bottom of this mommas heart! read more

My husband, 10-month old daughter and I were spending the week in Indian Rocks Beach for a family reunion. While there, my daughter became very ill with a severe cough and increased respiratory rate (60 breaths/min.). We attempted to go to Urgent Care, but they did not take Humana, so on our way to a different Urgent Care we made a stop at Myrtle Ave Pediatrics to see if they would see us. Dr. Greg saw us within 15 minutes, and immediately diagnosed her as having bronchiolitis. He treated her with inhaled Albuterol in hospital and even went out of the way to give us oral Prednisolone from his supply (since we were out-of-towners) than have us go to a pharmacy. She was 50% better within hours, and 3 days later, her cough has resolved. Dr. Greg gave us his cell phone number and called us twice within 12 hours to check on her, and then asked us to call him twice more the following day. He told us that he hopes that his patients are well taken care of while they are out of town, so he makes sure to do the same with kids he sees on an emergency basis. I feel so relieved and blessed that we met Dr. Greg. You Floridians are lucky to have such a genuine and kind pediatrician! I couldn't recommend him or his staff more. read more

Was trying to find office hours when the yelp page for Myrtle Ave Peds come up, which included a negative review. That review was written by an anti vaxxer and is not to be taken seriously. I've been taking my kids to Mrytle Ave for 13 years and wouldn't think of switching. We absolutely love Dr. Greg and Dr. Boreman, who are both highly professional and personable. (Best of luck to the senseless mother who isn't vaccinating her child. She is putting him and the public at risk. Horrible!) read more

Had a horrific experience with Dr. Savel yesterday and wanted to make it known for any mamas considering using him as your ped. If you're not planning on vaccinating your child - don't come here. This has been my ped office for almost 5 years and have always had good experiences (besides the harassment regarding vaccinating which we don't do due to the potential risks). Yesterday I went for my son's 4 year check up. My son told him his throat hurt and Dr. Savel did the regular examination and then laid into me regarding vaccinating not one, but THREE times. Continued to say, "and I don't mean any disrespect..." Finally in an effort to get the berating to stop, I told him I understand both sides to the vaccine issue and he literally cut me off mid sentence, saying that there are no two sides. My son was upset due to Dr. Savel's communication and asked if he was going to die. I was horrified. He walked out in a hurry, mumbling "have a nice day" on his way out. My son then started to cry because Dr. Savel hadn't even looked at his throat. I'll never be going back and won't recommend this office to anyone. read more

Great practice! We moved to FL from Michigan a few years ago. When we found out we were having a baby, we visited a few practices and fell in love with their office. Very accommodating hours, friendly staff, didn't pressure us to do cord blood banking, and seemed to want the best for their patients. We have been going here since daughter was born, but we just moved much farther away so we won't be able to make the drive to still go here. However, we highly recommend to family/friends/daycare moms to check them out! read more
