Children’s Medical Group PC

I have 3 kids oldest being 9 & have been going here since he was born. We see Marietta who is so awesome!!! My kids love her! She’s so nice, has very great bedside manner, & takes her time even when she has all 3 of my kids at once. We also see Dr. Rudnicki when Marietta isn’t avaliable no issues with her at all. The front office staff is very nice. I love the office décor and the cleanliness of the office. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a pediatrician. They also offer Saturday hours which is awesome!!!

I got astonished when I saw here too many bad reviews. I don’t understand why this happened of this place. I found here nothing bad. I had to take my sister for a better treatment here. I did it by the force of a recommendation. I know they can do really good surgery.

I recently relocated from VA to GA about 9 months ago. I really liked this office. Very nice décor, clean facility and the front desk are friendly for the most part. Things I don’t like (now you can chuck this up that in my last state, I had been there nearly 19 years and my son who will be 5 was with his old peds office since he was 1).
1– The PA saw my son who was there for a possible URI. I asked if she checked for strep and she said yes (normally, a swab test is done… but maybe her magical eyes were able to see if he had strep).
2– I called the doctor and there is no transfer to the nurse… the front desk has to take a message and have the nurse call back. I SPECIFICALLY gave my work and cell in case they couldn’t reach me at work. This was important. They just called my work phone (NEVER CALLED MY CELL). I called back again and they said the nurse will call me back… however, its 12:45 and they don’t get back in until 2pm… WTH?
3– Its very rare you can see the same doctor.
4. — They insisted my son get a spacer… I didn’t want one… but they insisted… so she came in and gave it to me…$ 25!!! IF YOU WANT TO INSIST ON ME HAVING SOMETHING… at least tell me that there is a charge instead of handing it to me like a «here you go» and I get to the desk and have to spend $ 25 for it.
I am ultimately disgusted and currenlty found another ped near my area. Pick somewhere else if you want to feel like your child matters.

Still quite happy with this place, but not as euphorically as after the first visit. A con of this place versus Piedmont Pediatrics is phone advice — you speak to a receptionist and then it takes a pretty long time for a nurse to call you back and you just have to repeat yourself, versus at Piedmont the nurse picked up the phone directly. I also did have one ghastly long wait for an appointment during an illness where we had to take her in several times and she was really upset — plus one incident of several rounds of administrative confusion when a sick visit coincided with a well checkup.
So after several months experience with this provider versus Piedmont Pediatrics, I’d say they’re pretty comparable, but I’m still overall happy with my decision to switch. Wish they were closer to my house though!

Dr. Shu is great. Very patient. Always answers all your questions (without making them seem silly or trivial). Temperment is wonderful. Saturday sick hours come in handy.

I am really impressed. This is a LARGE pediatric practice, but they have their s*&! together. They take up almost a whole floor of an office building. They have multiple check in stations that are clearly labeled with the doctor/​nurses name of who you are going to see. The seating area is set up in a way where the kids can play, watch TV, and even watch a toy train go around on a track above. I think we waiting a whole 10 minutes to be called back.
The exam tables are high up, but have little ladders for the kids to use. They do not make you wait too long for the doctor/​nurse. The doctor that I saw (Dr. King) had a great bedside manner and really helped my son feel better with breathing treatments. Marietta, a nurse, was really good with both kids during their well visits and was willing to answer all of the questions that I had.
Some pediatricians there have waiting lists for well visits, but I think it is great to see everyone.
We came from an AMAZING set of pediatricians (DR. Goo and Dr. Doyle), but CorrectMed (CorrectHealth) decided to take a different direction with their practice and left the doctors and patients out to find a new place to go.
So far, things are looking up!
OH! They have Saturday hours too (For all of the working parents like me!)

We’ve been taking our 3-​year-​old here since she was born, and we’re now taking our 6-​week-​old here as well. Our experience has been overwhelmingly positive during that time.
I think the most important things to consider in a pediatric practice are, naturally, the quality of care and of the pediatricians themselves, and also how easily and quickly you can get your children seen when they are sick. For us, both have been great.
We initially took our daughter to see Dr. Kincaid who was always fantastic. Unfortunately she’s now taking a break from the practice, but our new doctor, Dr. Meeks, has been very knowledgeable, professional, caring, and just good with the kids. In fact, all but one of the providers we’ve seen has been exceptionally good with babies, and that one was a fairly young nurse. Both PNPs we most commonly see when going for sick appointments are excellent.
I really have no serious complaints from our experience with the practice over the past three years, and I would recommend it to anyone. I compare it with experiences I’ve had with general practitioners, and this place is a shining example of how to do things right and how to treat your patients and their families.

Positives:
1. Easy to get same day appointments
2. Many providers to choose from
3. free parking
4. easy access from the highway
Negatives:
1. not so helpful nurses – I asked a nurse about turning my 14 month old’s car seat around so that his legs wouldn’t be scrunched up. Her response was, «It’s easier to fix a broken leg than a broken head.» Another time I asked if there was a way to encourage walking and the nurse replied in a uncaring manner, «It’ll happen.»
2. We have seen five physicians and two NP’s in the practice and only liked one. The first physician kept the bell of his stethoscope in his pants. The second physician did not look in the chart before coming into the room and asked us the same questions in the 3 separate visits we saw her. The third physician was condescending and kept saying, «I give you permission to…» The fourth physician was a bit condescending as well. The only physician we liked was Dr. King who was nice and very informative.
3. They don’t give you a record of your child’s immunization records.
4. They charged me to have my son’s medical records faxed to my new pediatricians office even though it was the office that requested the records and not me.
Since we are moving to a different area, we are changes practices. So long Children’s Medical Group!
