    Pleasant Pediatrics
    Virginia K.

    My son had fever for 2 weeks when I took him in the first time. The first Doctor didn't schedule any tests on him. I took him in again, that same month, the 2nd Doctor didn't run any tests knowing he'd had fever for a whole month. That same week, I took him in again to tell the doctor to run tests on him. I explained my dissatisfaction to the front office on why I didn't believe I had to pay for the 3rd visit. If the 1st and 2nd Doctor had done their job in ordering lab work and tests, I wouldn't have to be there, again, in the same week! They understood and told me they would waive the 100.00 fee. But, later I received the 100.00 bill and they're going back on their word. I do NOT recommend them. Terrible Doctors, terrible staff since they go back on their word.

As always, Araceli greeted us warmly and asked how we were doing. Mysty always has a huge smile and warm greeting, and today - she had some hair tricks (Thanks, Mysty!). We were told that the usual provider was not in today - what we were not told was that the ABSOLUTE best provider ever was about to walk into the exam room. Kristen Buchanan was like a breath of fresh air. For the first time when meeting with the provider, my granddaughter did not cry at all. She had a few tears later in the visit when she was given her shots. Even then, she only cried for a few minutes then calmed down. Kristen was so very kind and knowledgeable. She provided much needed information to my daughter for the next stages in eating, language and physical development. Safe to say, my daughter and granddaughter were completely at ease and had the best visit ever! Thank you, Kristen, Mysty and Araceli for making today so wonderful. 1 year check-up and shots are no joke! We so appreciate the kindness and great care that you all provide.

I changed providers and that one suggesting trying different formulas and wasn't making sense or listening to me when I said we had already tried cutting out allergens. I was also concerned because my baby was bruising easily and quite pale, and I was severely anemic at the time of delivery, I thought maybe she was too. They kept refusing to draw blood and then they finally did and told me "hemoglobin is within normal range". I didn't believe them and asked for the number. 9.0. I ended up utilizing some online resources that suggested my baby 1- had silent reflux or GERD, and 2- was definitely anemic as hemoglobin of 9.0 is not normal. We ended up changing to the Park West location and I really had to twist the doctor's arm to prescribe my baby famotidine or omeprazole as a trial. That doctor became nasty with me and said "if you're willing to chance the side effects then fine". My baby was in severe pain, not sleeping and losing her voice. The famotidine prescription changed her life. She was no longer in pain and turned into a happy baby. Additionally WIC suggested enfamil AR - pleasant peds never mentioned this - and that helped immensely as well, plus the anemia subsided. At our final visit the doctor suggested we allow our baby to scream and cry inconsolably for a night or two to make her sleep thru the night and told us not to feed her until morning even if she wakes to eat. She was an infant at the time. We walked away and never looked back.

    Update for my review. Specifically for the Dr. Your lack of professionalism on the phone was…read moreshocking! As a doctor you should know how to conduct yourself in a more professional manner. 10 minutes after my orignal review posted the Dr called me. Before 8 AM. "Hello, I saw your review, I sent a text to our billing department and they will reach out. If you owe us, we will keep the money. If not we will refund it." Thank you for the update. It is crazy to get a bill 4 years later *side note a week later billing hadn't reached out and insurance said they didnt have a claim from this practice in 2021.* At that point the Dr did a 180 in tone, raised his voice and threw professionalism out the window. "We work really hard for all of our good reviews. You are just a keyboard warrior writing bad reviews and there is nothing I can do to have your review taken down". I said "excuse me. I wrote my experience with your practice." Instead of saying "I will talk to my team to get invoices sent out in a timely manner" you call me a keyboard warrior for writing a review about my experience with your practice. Original review: Brought my son here one time in '21. Visit went smoothly. 3 months later we got a bill. I called with questions, left multiple voicemails with no response. I finally got in touch with someone, I forget the specifics since this was 4 years ago, but they said they would write it off since it was an error on their side. May of 2025 we get the bill again. I thought it was a bill for a recent ER visit so I paid it. 2 days later I realized it was a bill from 2021 for this office. My mistake for not paying attention, but dirty business practice on their part. Years later you send a bill?

My son was born around Thanksgiving so when my son was newborn & offices were closed for the holiday but Dr. Aurora still insisted us coming in during his closed hours, he truly is a very passionate, caring doctor. Anytime I call they can get my son in within that same day, they are so flexible with our schedule. He is a very reassuring doctor for any questions I ever have. Even for the small stuff when my son has ever been slightly sick & I feel unsure if I should bring him in they always give no hesitation for me to bring him in anyways to be safe. My son loves going to the office too all the staff is so friendly & welcoming. We are so thankful for Dr. Aurora & his crew!

The staff and providers often came across as unfriendly and dismissive, and I rarely felt like appointments were personalized to my children's individual needs. I also felt pressured to follow their vaccine schedule, and when I expressed concerns or wanted to make different choices, I was made to feel that our care could be discontinued. Families deserve respectful communication and support, even when they have questions or differing opinions. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

My baby/ son anytime I'm trying to schedule if my son has an ear infection of some sort, they always schedule him a week later/ by that time my son would probably die! The front staff if you walk in for a visit seee if they can do something (I tried going in for help) the chola looking lady does not care if your son is dying! They are only there for their paycheck! 6th time having to go to the hospital because they cannot seem to squeeze him in there, with my first born at a different pediatric, never had this issue and they have sympathy towards babies or kids. Like I said the front staff is only there to collect a paycheck and do not care about the health of your children, she even had the nerve to say I need to call ahead of time to schedule, I had called 2 hours before closing and no one answers, the nerve of this lady! the doctors and assistants in the back are sweet and caring, just not the front desk!!

He has stood by us through some incredibly tough times, consistently showing genuine care and compassion that I have never encountered in another provider. We feel truly blessed to have him not only as my son's doctor but as a trusted friend. What sets Dr. Hartsook apart is his ability to communicate; he explains every situation in a way that is easy to understand, avoiding confusing medical jargon and ensuring we are fully informed. Despite how busy he is--often booked months in advance because he is so highly sought after--we have never once felt rushed. Every appointment feels personal and thorough. You can truly tell when a provider is passionate about their work, and his love for what he does shines through in every interaction with his patients and their families. While we are partial to Dr. Hartsook, the entire team at West Valley Pediatrics is outstanding. Every medical provider here is amazing, and I am confident that anyone choosing a doctor at this practice will be highly satisfied. If you are looking for exceptional care for your child, I cannot recommend Dr. Hartsook and West Valley Pediatrics highly enough.
