Opinions- Am I Overreacting

I don't think you're overreacting at all. I think it's definitely time to find a new doc. I'd also bring up everything you told us here, or write it up in a formal complaint and send it to the doctor's office.

I'm not sure where you are, but we see Dr. Belzer and love him. His practice is called Pediatric Professional Association (http://www.ppadocs.com). We've seen some other doctors there as well and have been very happy with them all. We've never had any trouble getting in either. They have walk-in sick hours every morning, and during the cold/flu season they are open on Saturdays.

Hi Kristina,

I am so sorry that you are going through all of that. That is terrible for a doctor's office to be like that. Goodness, all you want is good professional care for your child and it doesn't sound like that is happening.

We switched doctors for our little one, and we really love the new office we go to! It is Johnson County Pediatrics in Shawnee, KS. We see Dr. Nelson, but have also seen Dr. Winburn. Here is a link to their website http://www.jocopediatrics.com/Home002000000.htm

Feel free to give them a call ###-###-####, and I am sure they can work you in with any of their doctors.

No you are not overreacting. We go to Pediatric Partners in Overland Park, I don't think I saw where you are located. We love all the doctors in the practice. Their website is doc4kidz.com

Good Luck!

You are not overreacting! I'm glad to see so much positive response for you already b/c it sounds a little like a nightmare! I would definitely talk to the office manager at Dr. H's office before doing anything else, especially if you'd like to schedule that surgery soon. If it were me, I'd insist they schedule it and deal with the wrath of me! ;) Then after that I'd find someone else and I'd tell the office exactly what you're problems were before you go. They need to know. Good luck!

Yeah....it's time to switch doctors. As much as you hate switching him, it sounds as if Dr. H and his/her office really doesn't care. Good luck in finding a new pediatrician.

Boy, I couldn't coop with the kind of disorganization that doctor's office operates under. It would make me concerned about their ability to properly track medical records, proper dosing, etc. If I were in your shoes, I'd make a switch right away. Good luck to you.

Hi Kristina,
I don't think you're overreacting at all. I'd be the same way. I have a 15 yo, 6 yo & 5 yo and they all see the doctors at Pediatric Professionals in OP (another mom gave you their info) and I agree with her that it's a great practice. If you are in the op area I highly recommend them. They can always squeeze you in (actualy they try really hard to even if you don't request to be seen that day) and when you're in their office they really listen to you and make sure they've answered all your questions before letting you leave. I hate when dr.'s rush you and seem to get annoyed when you ask questions or have more than one ailment. My dr. there is Dr. flint but they're all so good (except if you want someone with real kid personality, don't go with dr. Etzenhauser, great dr but not as 'fun' as the others!). Hope this helps!

You are not over-reacting at all. No doctors office should treat their people that way and I'd never tolerate it.
