We have seen Dr. Smith for regular checkups as well as unscheduled sick visits. We have always been able to easily make appointments and staff communication is phenomenal. He even gives little educational books and toys for my son at nearly every visit that correlate to his developmental milestones. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and his entire office staff - I really can't say enough good things about them.

She reassured us that this can be normal in small babies but told us to keep an eye on it, if anything changed we were to come back to check it again. About a week or two went by and it it had grown and gotten much firmer so we took him back. Dr. Kim has been such a godsend throughout this whole process. She is extremely kindhearted and gentle with her tiny patients, and very easy to talk to and responsive with anxious parents. I am so thankful we found Dr. Seaton-Smith and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pediatrician who treats her patients with the care and attentiveness as if they were her own!!

They often come off as rude and abrupt, which has been an ongoing issue for years. It would be great if they could be a bit more welcoming. Also, while they charge a $50 late fee, their own service tends to run 30 minutes to an hour late.

They actually lied saying they didn't have the equipment, because as DOCTOR lindergen put it it was almost 5 o'clock. It doesn't do me much good if the doctor is great, if I can never get in to see him. When it comes to my kids' safety and on that instance life or death situation, I need more than just OK service. I was so Irate when i left there that day you have no idea. I'm still upset just thinking about it. They have to do better. I've had several other times when Dr Depala said, " Oh the staff should have never given you that advice that was completely wrong." And never see Dr Lindergren she herself has given me the wrong antibiotics and horrible advice on numerous occasions. She also once told me to get some backbone in my voice when I complained of feeling overwhelmed with two kids. Which proves she doesn't know me at all. She never remembers that I've been sick, and in and out of the hospital the last year. (my old dr used to always ask how we were doing. It may may sound selffish but is acually important info when treating the child to know how the parent ar dealing with a new phase, ect.)

That was fine with me, I would just pay out of pocket as we were already there for the appointment. The receptionist (light, short curly hair) wearing a pink shirt stated that she isn't supposed to be doing this. Doing what exactly? Accepting patients who were paying out of pocket? We promptly walked out after seeing her attitude toward us. She was extremely rude and condescending. Faye S. Lundergan, do yourself a favor and hire a receptionist who actually likes their job. Otherwise, I am pretty sure you will be out of business soon with this treatment toward families. Quick summary: -This office does NOT accept Medical or Partnership -This office does NOT accept patients paying out of pocket... -Receptionist is VERY rude There are better pediatricians in Petaluma so I recommend not coming here.
