We have a three year old toddler who's seen her for multiple issues throughout the year, and a current four month old daughter who has seen Dr. D since birth. Despite, being a second time mom, I was taken aback how similar but also different babies were. I had some feeding issues with my daughter especially at the beginning, which I had never even imagined with my first. I really loved the fact that Dr. D was all about the well-being of my baby, but also me as a mother. Two areas of improvement I feel they could make is with their receptionist. If they could be more proactive about booking the next appointment upon parents walking out the door, this would be really helpful. Sometimes we forget about our next appointment, and then when we call back it is difficult to book as slots get filled up fast. Another area that I would really appreciate would be the time management. The wait time I've had averaged about 30-45 minutes after my scheduled time. And sometimes with a fussy baby or a cranky toddler, I run out of resources for entertainment!

Sharing the letter we wrote Tenth Street Pediatrics. If you're a parent looking for a pediatrician,…read moreplease read: To all of the doctors and staff at 10th St. Pediatrics, Our son Oliver is a patient of Dr. Stern. Today he had his first severe injury, a laceration to his face. He fell while playing and his head began to bleed profusely. We immediately called the office. As it turns out Dr. Stern was the physician on call. What transpired was disappointing and scary. When we explained the situation we were shocked that the voice on the other end of the phone, this person who was there the day our son was born, had zero empathy and offered no help. "Go to an Urgent Care or an Emergency Room." The little help offered was a phone number to a pediatric Urgent Care facility, which I had to call Dr Stern back while my son bled because she gave us the wrong number. This time she sounded simply annoyed that we were bothering her. Thankfully a friend of ours is a patient at Dr. Jay Gordon's office and he graciously called to offer his assistance. He asked us to text him pictures of the wound, walked us through several options, one of which included a plastic surgeon who would come to our house so we could limit any contact with Covid patients. Again, he is not our doctor but still asked us to call him after to let him know how things went. It's now 9:30pm, 9 hours since our initial call to Dr Stern, and nothing. Not a text or a call to ask, how is my patient? Does he have a concussion? Did he need stitches? The answer is, yes. He did. The world is so scary right now and we truly believed Tenth St. Pediatrics was a place we could feel safe and that would help us if we were ever truly in need. Today that idea was dispelled and as much as I don't want to sound mellow dramatic, it was heartbreaking. There was so much more Dr. Stern could have done to help even if should couldn't apply the stitches. While our son bled profusely on our kitchen floor we felt abandoned. Besides the bills we pay for visits, isn't that what the extra $500 a year was suppose to get us? Someone who would be there for us if we were ever in need after hours? I don't know who will read this or if anyone in the office will care, but we will not be coming back there. We will make sure no one we love or care about doesn't hear this story before they consider Tenth St. Pediatrics for their child. But most of all we hope the partners at your practice will consider this email and learn from it. We put our children's lives in your hands and have faith that you will be there for us in our time of need. Sometimes we don't just need doctors, we need healers.

She's always informing us of the vaccine schedule and what the next steps are for a growing baby. She spends her time w/ us never making us feel rushed or annoyed for asking questions. I think what sets her apart from other pediatricians is her care for the parents too, asking us how we were adjusting to another baby in the family & how the sibling is adjusting as well. She is definitely one of the better pediatricians that I've been to, and I'd recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a pediatrician.

I know that if we'd had to deal with a larger health issue there's no one I'd rather have in my corner than Dr. Gordon and the nurses.
