Love that he is so straightforward! Level headed and reassuring. I also love that he's super proactive with things, wants to check all the boxes and make sure no stone is left unturned. Extremely thorough in caring for my kids! Could not ask for a better pediatrician!! read more

We've been seeing Dr. Seitter since my son was born, and he is now 13. We have had nothing but a positive experience here. As my son gets older I appreciate the way Dr. Seitter talks to him directly and loved how he brought up middle school topics to him as well. He is straight forward, and has always allowed me to ask any questions. Anytime my son is sick they have always been able to squeeze us in. And when he was younger, especially as a newborn, they never made me feel bad for my millions of phone calls to the nurses line. read more

Dr. Seitter has been our pediatrician since we moved to Mesa in 2003. Our daughter was pre term so I was stressed that I had to change pediatricians. I quickly relaxed once meeting Dr.Seitter. He is the most knowledgeable, caring doctor I have ever met. When our son was born, Dr.Seitter came to the hospital to check on him. Our son is now 17 and Dr. Seitter has been there the whole way with our children. I used to come to office visits with a list of nervous mom questions, Dr. Seitter would go over each one with thorough answers, never making me feel like my questions were silly. I've never felt rushed with our visits and his nurse Kelly is so very gentle with shots and blood draws. They are excellent at getting us in for a sick visit same day and giving quick test results! Anytime our kids have been sick Dr. Seitter always finds the cause and gets them back on a healthy track quickly! I recently told Dr. Seitter, I'm going to be so sad when our son ages out from his office. We truly feel like family there. I'm attaching a picture of my son and Dr.Seitter at the hospital when he was born. read more

Seitter William R MD - Dr. Seitter at the hospital with our son when he was born. - Pediatricians Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Rude, short, dismissive and condescending. Typical veteran 'chip on your shoulder' doctor. If you're burnt out and tired of treating patients, then retire. read more

Dr. Seitter is the best. He's very straight forward (in a good way), has a great sense of humor and always knowledgeable with great advice. I love the milestone papers we get every time we take our twins in there; they give great snip its of pertinent info at each stage. He fits us in for last minute needs and always gets us in and out within an hour of our visit time. Couldn't imagine leaving this office as his staff are equally great. We plan to stick with him despite our move to Florence this year. read more

We have been taking our son to Dr Seitter since the day he was born 8 years ago. He takes his time making sure our questions are answered fully and that all issues are addressed. He also does a great job of explaining what all of our options are and works to find solutions that will help our family the most. When we have called with concerns, he always gets back to us as soon as possible to put us at ease. His genuine care and concern for our son and respect for us as first time parents has made this a great partnership and we cannot recommend him enough. read more

This is solely for Dr. Sietter!!! HORRIBLE experience. He was so RUDE and had ZERO bedside manner. If I could give this "Doctor" a negative star, I would. He made me and my husband feel so uncomfortable. After I told him he was being rude and making us feel uncomfortable and I didn't appreciate it, he dismissed me. Those who praise this him, how? Why? He was AWFUL!!! Not to mention how he speaks to the staff. Rude and dismissive with them as well. Uses intimidation tactics. Again, AWFUL. read more

Dr Seitter has absolutely blessed my family's life! He has been our pediatrician for over 14 years now. He has consistently gone above and beyond to treat our 7 children with their many various health needs. His deep knowledge and years of experience make him exceptional at thoroughly diagnosing each health concern. He takes the time to educate and explain the reasoning behind the treatment so that both parent and older child can clearly understand. Dr Seitter is a doctor that cares; he's a people person!! He knows each of our 7 kids and their specific interests and hobbies and he's got a great sense of humor as well. He's a kind and honest person of integrity. As a mother, I highly recommend Dr Seitter because he IS an excellent physician you can trust! read more

Dr Seitter is one of the best pediatricians around! We have been seeing him for almost 8 years, with all 4 of our kids. He's extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I'm thankful I can rely on his unbiased medical perspective to address my concerns. We can always get our kids in when sick and he takes his time answering my hundreds of questions. His nurse Kelly is also just as wonderful, so thankful for them! read more

I only have good things to say about Dr. Seitter. He has been our sons pediatrician since he was born 3 years ago and is now our newborns pediatrician. He has been available, informative, thorough and friendly. His office has always been quick to schedule us, often same day and I have yet to wait great than 10 mins to be called back or seen by him. Definitely recommend him and his facility. read more

As a father of a two and a half year old boy and one year old girl, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Seitter. Dr Seitter has consistently taken the time to answer all of what I self describe as dad tantrums ("I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT VACCINES?! MY DAUGHTER'S HEAD LOOKS WRONG! MY SON ISN'T SLEEPING!... the list goes on). He has been completely understanding during my "moments" but more importantly he is able to put me at ease. His level of expertise is top notch and I fully trust his professional opinion. read more

Dear Fellow Parents: We have been taking our children to Dr. Seitter for the last 2-1/2 years. Unfortunately, their attention to patient care and bedside manner has become intollerable. Recently, my sone came donw with RSV and they sent him home to "get some" rest. A day later we took him to Banner Gateway and they asked us who his pediatrician was because his RSV was so bad that fhe should have been admitted days earlier. Then when Dr. Seitter visited us at the hospital he was rude and rattled on with numerous excuses as to why he made the mistake of not sending him to the hospital earlier int he week. Additionally as recent as today my daughter came down with a bad rash so mwy wife called Dr. Seitter's office. She was put on hold. In this process of being put on hold she decided to drive to the doctors office only to wait in the lobby on the hold while at the front desk at the same time while they gave her the excuse that they have used all to oftne we are so busy and people called in sick so we can't see you today. Their arrogance and rudeness has gotten the best of Dr. Seitter and his staff! Our children's health and well being is to important to us to have them continue to be treated by a Dr. Seitter so we have taken our records and are looking for a new doctor that we are important to and concerned about my children's health. Respectfully, Steve read more

I have used Dr Seitter for 15 years with my 3 kids. He is an amazing Doctor and his staff is very good at getting back to us with any questions or concerns. Many cases, Dr Seitter is the one who returns my calls. He never seems rushed during any exam and takes the time to make sure I as the parent and my child both understand or have any questions. He takes interest in each of my kids activities and remembers the details each time they would see him. I can't speak for any of the other doctors in his office as I have always been able to see him every time I call. read more

The front office staff seemed pretty normal, but when my child was seen by the doctor, I was very surprised how rude and unprofessional he was. We saw Dr. William Seitter. I changed over to this pediatrician since the office was close by after having several missed diagnoses with another pediatrician. At my son's 9 month appointment they did not do a developmental check, which it turns out my son was a little delayed and this would have been very helpful to know earlier on so we could have gotten him help earlier. I also had some worries about his eating because he was not chewing and was choking on everything, even puréed foods. The doctor just said that he was a big kid and it was because he was still breastfeeding. He told me-just stop breastfeeding him! The doctor also rolled his eyes and made grimaces while I asked a couple other general questions and then said, Are you done now? Since we got the flu shot for my son, we had to come back a month later for the follow up shot. My husband came with me this time and had a question for the doctor that was unrelated to the shot, and the doctor answered it, so I thought maybe the doctor was having a bad day the time before. When we made an appointment to get a referral for an OT a month later, the doctor surprised us again. It turns out my son needed feeding therapy to learn to chew and swallow correctly after his tongue tie was fixed, but the previous pediatrician had sent over the referral, so when my husband and I had mentioned that my son was getting feeding therapy, he let out a sarcastic laugh and said, I can't believe insurance will pay for that because your kid is so huge; there is no way I would have let him get that. We also mentioned that the feeding therapist was requesting a follow up blood test to make sure he was getting all the right nutritional needs and she recommended OT since my son was exhibiting some red flags that he may have some other underlying issue causing anxiety. The doctor continually rolled his eyes and made sounds while we tried to explain what we had been told by other specialists and then said, well I'm not doing anything for you unless you get an official note from the therapist explaining exactly why it is needed - if I send a request over to insurance now they will laugh me out of the room because your kid is so huge. We told him we would make sure to get a letter from the therapist but would appreciate if they could do the blood test since our insurance would cover it and we would pay anything extra. The doctor finally agreed. We also mentioned that we tried sleep training several times and it had not been successful. The doctor just said the only way was Ferber. We mentioned that we had tried leaving him to cry many times but he would go 3 hours escalating more and more before falling asleep and waking up again minutes later. And, we had tried for a month and a half straight one time, 2 weeks another time, etc. The doctor just said that babies know they can just wait 3 hours and 1 minute to get their way so you have to show them you aren't coming back and they are on their own. After the doctor walked out and we waited for the nurse to take my son's blood, we could hear the doctor make fun of my son loudly to all of the staff. My son had a lot of medical issues since birth so he had already learned early on that he hated doctor offices, so when the doctor coldly and harshly handled my son during each appointment, he screamed all the more, and it took him months to get over it. The nurse also rough handled my son when she took blood. After trying several times to get a vain, she stabbed it in and left a humongous bruise for days. When we followed up with the letter from the therapist so we could get a referral, the lady doing the referrals gave us the run around for 2 months and never sent over the referral. They wasted so much of our time and put my son back by months when he could have been receiving treatment he needed. Even if they didn't see a benefit, it wouldn't have hurt them to just send over the referral. He is really delayed now but we are working on getting back on track thanks to the new pediatrician we changed to. read more

Dr Seitter has been my physcian for my children since 2002. He iis the absolute best diagnostician I have ever been too. I am not sure what happened in the last review, but I can assure you the facts in that review aren't anywhere near what I have experienced. The facts are he has been able to diagnose and treat my children when other physcians have missed things. In addition he never bad mouths other professionals which I always find suspect. The fact that an ER Doc would do that doesn't make sense to me. His bedside manner is sometimes more curt than nicety nice, but I prefer his medical knowledge to him having to be nice to me. He is constantly analyzing and leaves no stone unturned. He is a GREAT PHYSCIAN! Go to him you will not be sorry. I still take my final of 4 teens to him, even though we could go elsewhere. read more
