He also seems to genuinely LOVE the kids and interacts with them on a fun and personal level. When we moved here, I was afraid I would never find a pediatrician as good as our old one (who had been MY doctor when I was a kid). I feel very blessed to have found Dr. Howe. :) The staff are also very welcoming and great with the kids. Definitely a great pediatric practice.

I have been going to see Dr. Barry with my children since 2013. The office is clean, tidy (with a…read morelot of toys for toddlers) and they LOVE babies!! She schedules newborns and babies during days & times where there are no other sick kids so your little one doesn't get sick. She has children of her own so she gets it!!!! The office staff are well trained and know how to handle babies & toddlers. I have never had issues scheduling an appointment or waiting for more then 5 minutes. Dr. Barry is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable of disease processes, vaccinations, etc. The best of all is that she adores children and is passionate about what she does. Thank you Dr. Barry!

I cannot express how absolutely amazing everyone is. Everything from scheduling to vaccines is done both professionally and with the utmost care to their littlest patients. My only wish is Dr. Barry could treat adults too!

I switched to Cottage about 4 months ago - HUGE difference in care attention! Dr Brewer was extremely thorough in my first examination. She spotted some skin cancer on my cheek. Cottage staff arranged my dermatology appointment promptly and even followed Up with my care. Now my wife has switched to Cottage as well. They ACTUALLY CARE about their patients health and well-being!!

Dr. carey Chronis is amazing!! His office staff are wonderful, every time you call or go in they…read moreare so nice and attentive. He gets sick kids in the very same day you call if you need it and when you leave a message for him he calls back the same day and even offered for me to call his cell phone over the weekend if my daughter was still sick rather than going into an urgent care. He deeply and truly cares for his patients. Having the peace of mind to know I can take my 2 little ones in the very same day I reach out is extraordinary because they get sick a lot and sometimes very sick very quickly. He knows his stuff and we will be his patients for many years to come.

This is certainly not Dr. Tedford and Dr. Patterson's practice anymore. I know they have long since…read moreretired, but you can tell by the staff their customer service is retired along with them. I recommend any other doctors office in the north county. I came in and was told that my picture of my insurance wasn't good enough for them to see my daughter. I was told I couldn't email or text them a copy. The front desk woman (Karen probobly was her name), blonde and older, told me I had to go home and get a copy with a copy machine and come back. (Mind you they already have my insurance on file) Then the lady at the front desk charged me 50$ for canceling an appointment I was on time for that she would not let me go to. As a small business owner in the north county, people like this at detrimental to our relationships with customers, they are rude, and have a sense of entitlement that they can't hide. Again, I don't think this represents the doctor themselves, but it's a very poor reflection on the state of our community, at least in a small percentage. We had the best experience ever at a pediatrician in Templeton and advise you to look for care options there, or in SLO.

I was really disappointed with our recent 4 month wellness visit. Dr Kielty examined my baby…read morequickly but never asked if I had any questions or concerns as a parent. She also didn't mention anything about my baby's growth--how the weight and height are tracking on the charts or if everything is progressing normally, which is something I always expect at these appointments. Most concerning was that she didn't ask me any questions about how the baby is doing at home, like feeding, sleeping, or milestones. The whole visit felt very rushed and impersonal. She didn't seem caring or empathetic at all, which made me feel like we were just another appointment to get through. The clinic itself is very outdated and the windows have black mold on the outside. The rooms are cold and feel like there is no heating inside. As a new parent, I need a pediatrician who takes the time to communicate and make me feel supported. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling anxious and undervalued. We're switching providers.

I had daily panic attacks and (unbeknownst to me) raging OCD. Dr. White ignored my concerns and medication questions. Instead, he told me to "just take a shot or two of vodka when you feel that way." Well, I was 20 and had enough sanity to know that was crazier than the panic attacks. Luckily, I aged out of his care soon after. It's been a few years and while it makes me laugh to think how absurd and unhealthy that recommendation was, I think it's important for other people to know who's hands their putting their kids in. Do not recommend.
