I had billing issues once and the front desk staff handled it so well it made a stressful time easy. Appointments are easy to get and there good and fitting you in last min. I never wait more than ten mins yet we are never rushed out the door either. Both doctors are very friendly and my boys love them both. Update: Been here for over a year now. We are well settled in and I couldn't be happier. Finding a Dr to replace your kids Dr is hard. I haven't had a single issue with this office. Not once. They're great with referrals also which is a big deal for some offices it seems. Not here. Anything THEY can do in office they gladly do. No shipping you out unless they have to which is also great.

I've no idea how I haven't reviewed Lerch & Amato before?!!!…read more I LOVE the doctors here, the staff, and the adorable décor! Appointment wait time (both when making appointments and awaiting for scheduled appointments in their lobby) isn't bad at all. We rarely sit for more than 15 minutes. My guys have been patients for approximately 8 years. The doctors are wonderful, personable, and we often get to see the "head honcho," Dr. Lerch. He is so likeable, great w/ my kids (I'm sure ALL kids), and is just a happy man. You can tell that he truly loves his job! I like how Dr. Lerch makes things very understandable to my children and doesn't baby them with anything. The APN's are great, as well as the M.A.'s. Requests for physicals, etc., are finished quickly! I'd recommend Lerch & Amato to any parent. Just as they were recommended to me years ago by my former nurse neighbor/friend.

However after seeing Dr. Amato two times in a row, chose to leave the practice. He seemed very annoyed at the fact that my other children where with me, he has no 'bedside' manner. When he asked how my son was sleeping and I told him on his belly, he got really curt and asked why. I explained to him my daughter had a problem with choking when she laid on her back, and my son was having the same issue. I also told him my son will not stay asleep on his back, but will sleep on his stomach. I told him he spent a day in the NICU because he has choked on his own spit in the room the day he was born. His response (this is no joke... ) There is no record ever of a child spitting up in their mouth and choking on it. MY ONE DAY OLD SPENT AN ENTIRE DAY IN NICU, BECAUSE HE DID THIS. MY DAUGHTER DID THIS ONE THE WAY DOWN THE ELEVATOR BEING DISCHARGED. And this was the last time I ever went to that office and I will not be returning.

Always helpful. We saw the Dr. today, and she's so friendly and helped a TON. You can tell the ones who like kids and don't. Sorry, but it's true. This woman loves her job and it shows. You won't be disappointed here. They take their jobs seriously and that's something lacking anymore sadly. Thanks, Pineland. Also we love the way the office is decorated. Edit: have now been here for two years adding an extra child into the mix. We couldn't be happier. Sadly we are moving and I cannot take this office with me. Best doctor my kids have had.

The only thing that keeps my review from being 5 stars is the charge and wait time they impose on paperwork. I don't understand why, in addition to my co-pay, I have to pay $10 for a physician's signature AND I can't pick it up for 3 days. It seems to me the doctor should be able to sign or fill out anything during the appointment. That is my only complaint. Other than that, we love the doctors, nurses, medical assistants, and office staff!

Let me start by saying that I tried to take my then 1 year old daughter here last winter only to…read morewalk out after waiting 2 hours with an appointment. I swore I'd never go back, but as the only pediatric urgent care around I was desperate 2 weekends ago. I took my now 2 year old there with an appointment, and still was not seen for 2 1/2 hours. By the time the doctor finally checked her out she spent all of 3 minutes with her (asking a 2 year old to produce a cough, which she could not since she is a 2 year old) before telling me to give her honey, and to come back in a few days if her cough and lethargy are not better. I ended up taking her to her pediatrician and she has pneumonia and was promptly put on antibiotics. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely horrible experiences both times. Go to the ER or wait until you can have your child seen by their pediatrician.

They just sent me an email notification at 9:30pm on Thursday night that I owed money with no dates of when the service was or what was done that day. In this email the corporate office will charge my credit card on Sunday. Such a short notice! Now I'm trying to call the corporate office today which is Friday to get this all cleared up. And it's been a hassle trying to get through to them! It's been many months since I've been there. Couldn't they have called??!! This place seemed to be ok, but now I don't want to go back there if this is how they're going to operate! I also have to add that I called my insurance company to verify the claims and one of them was for last year in February 2023. P.m. Pediatrics never sent me a bill! They submitted it within a few days to insurance company, but what is wrong... that they can't send the bill! I guess the receptionist's at this place in Turnersville are becoming totally bad. I'm never going back to this place. If I have a serious problem, I'll go to the ER.

I run a dental office and understand insurances. This woman who answered the phone knew absolutely nothing about how patients with dual insurance works. I just don't understand how this place has someone scheduling appointments who doesnt have any training to understand insurances but can schedule appointments. It makes no sense. After a 10 minute conversation with her after registering my daughter she was clearly beyond irritated and said I'll ask billing and put me on hold immediately then left me on hold for 10 mins. After being fed up dealing with this I hung up. This woman should not be able to deal with patients and scheduling if she doesnt understand how insurances work. Im scared to see what type of training the rest of the office has. I would not come here if I was paid to do so. Good luck to anyone deciding to take their children to this office.

I've been bringing my family here for over 15 years because they do receive quality care and can be…read moreseen for sick visits very quickly. However, my biggest issue that seems to be becoming worse as time goes by is the inaccurate coding for our visits that leave me with higher bills and unnecessary copayments. Every time I take one of my children in for a simple flu shot, it gets charged as a sick visit and I receive a bill. Even when I try to address the problem before the appointment! I then have to call billing and explain there is no copay for preventative care. It gets taken care of, but it's seriously every single time. I also feel as though they use "creative" charges to "up sell" annual well-visits. At my daughter's last well-visit, we ended up with a copay because the new dr wasn't comfortable with one of the results. Then I had to schedule a follow-up (with yet another copay) only to have the regular doctor ask me "why is she here, she passed everything". It's a tough decision to stay any longer because I trust their care but not their business practices.

Less than satisfactory. Only visited 4 times before changing our pediatrician. Hours are whacky…read more They close whenever they want. Doctors do get back to you at any time, which is a positive, but our new pediatrician does the same 4 visits of bad advice, misdiagnosis, and rushy attitude. Even got upset that I was breast feeding my child at her 1 month well visit. odd for a pediatrician. The receptionist that greets you at the first window when you walk in has always been extremely rude. I think my whole attitude towards the office would've started off on a better note if they had a more friendly receptionist. All 4 visits she was rude. In fact, the only time I ever saw her smile is when she rudely, and smugly smirked at me when I went in to sign a release to forward my children's records to their new pediatrician.
