  1. I just called to have my son an appointment made he is a new patient and they answered the phone and put me directly on hold for ten minutes and still didn’t answer I hung up .

  2. Not the best needs better customer service and if my child is getting a check up I WILL go with her! Who tf r u to stop me idk what you are going to do to my child you better check yourself!

  3. Every time I come into this place they look at me like I’m some crazy person I am now being asked for my id when I’ve come in here dozens of times and the staff is very rude and the place is very un organized they lost my daughter …

  4. Our daughters doctor Henson she really looks out for our child and gets her all the help she needs I appreciate her cause she treats her like if she could be her own and shows concern. Thank you.

  5. I was truly dissatisfied with the office visit. Poor customer service to include the lack of proper hand hygiene prior to attempting to examine my child. The entire experience was awful.

  6. The phone system is horrible. Trying to get someone on the phone most days is impossible, you can call anytime of day and stay on hold, never getting picked up even when it says you are the only one in line. This is aggravating, I end up …

  7. Never in my years that when I always take my children for doctor appointments or sick appointments that I get a rude attitude towards me when I get my kids checked in to be seen on February 1st , 2019 I was waiting to get my daughter …

  8. I seen the new Dr. to the practice Dr. KLINE I was extremely pleased with My first visit as a new patient yet a sick visit for my 8 month old I’ve had such bad experiences with Unifour Peds and Child health center in just the last few …

  9. We have gone to Catawba Peds for nearly 5 years, Dr Bridgeman has always been beyond amazing! She has always gone above to make sure my kids are well taken care of and to “get to the bottom” of every sickness. Love Catawba Peds!!

  10. I am trying to get medical records for a separation agreement and although I realize that I have to pay for my children’s medical history they couldn’t give me information on how much that would be. Since I have a child with a disability that file is quite large yet they couldn’t tell me if the file was going to be$100.00 or $300.00.

  11. There staff always has time to make sure my daughter is health and happy and the lady that does appointments Angela is just amazing she always fixing any,issue they are always going above and beyond to help and answer any questions I love the is place and Kelly bridgeman is my daughters Dr and she’s amazing !!!

  12. They are always kind and accommodating. They always see my kids quickly when they need to be seen. I have almost never had to wait past my appt time to get called back.

  13. We appreciated the courtesy and efficient check in at CPA as well as the Dr. Hill’s patience in answering our questions. We are new in town and feel great about choosing CPA!

  14. I love Catawba Pediatrics I was a patient there when I was little and my sister she’s in her 50s now and she was a patient there as well my daughter is four months old and she just started going there she was seeing another doctor and we …

  15. Everytime I come here they are very nice and professional. He is very understanding and answer all of your questions with Professional courtesy. The rooms are always nice and clean and the people who work here are very nice.

  16. I wasn’t happy with the care they gave my daughter when she was first brought home from the hospital, the reason being they were taking blood out of her arms to check her for jaundice. This was every other day. So I started taking her to hickory family physician and they took the blood out of their foot while I was holding her.

  17. Do NOT take your children to this office of bullies dressed as doctors. They will force their one-track version of “medicine” on your children regardless of any known allergies or other concerns and tell you that refusal to comply with …

  18. I have taken my children there since they were born and have been very pleased. The doctors are knowledgeable and take time to explain things. Sometimes we have to wait but that is to be expected in a doctor’s office.

  19. I have two children that go to this pediatric office. Normally, I have no issues, but lately my oldest daughter has been having this terrible rash and scratches all the time, to the point she cannot sleep. I have been to the office with her …

  20. I have been taking my kids here for the last 5 years since I moved to the area. They have been amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better group of individuals. So professional but yet so friendly and humble. Would recommend 100 %

  21. I have taken my son to this Dr since he was born, he is now 6yrs old. Dr. Bates was his first Dr and he was amazing, but he retired so we’ve pretty much been bounced around with their doctors. In his time with catawba peds he’s had 2 sick …

  22. I took both of my children in as they were sick and was told it was allergies, 2 nights later I was in the ER with my preemie son because they misdiagnosed him and he actually had RSV. He was under a year old and it can be deadly, so I …

  23. I also wrote the last review. Since then I have received 2 letters from this office saying that they were in fact breaking up with me. DSS just left my home after this office called them because they were “concerned” about my youngest …

  24. I agree with all of the reviews. I have been 15-20 minutes early to my appointments and have waited as long as 2 hours to actually been seen by a Doctor. Each time we have been there the Dr. literally spent no more than 10 minutes in the …

  25. Dr. Bridgeman was the doctor from this group that treated my daughter in the nursery at Frye hospital when she was born. She was rude, unprofessional and got confrontational with me when I expressed concern that she would not performing a …

  26. I’ve been coming here since I was born. Now my little siblings and my kids come. Dr Harril is the best doctor I known. In my past experience I had a severe cut in my finger. (To make this short) Dr.Harril was the best doctor to cure my …

  27. Called to schedule an appointemnt for my daughter as a new patient and they are tleast 10 yrs behind with technology today where you can have forms accessible for new and current patients on your website so that we dont have to waste the …

  28. I called to schedule an appointment for my children, I have 3 children. I was told by whoever answered the phone that they do not see 3 children of the same family in one day. It is a lot on the pediatrician etc. That is fine I told her I …

  29. We’ve been coming to Catawba peds for 4 years now. We absolutely love Dr Henson and Dr Bridgman. I have a special needs child and they do great with both my kids ❤️

  30. My daughters have been seen by Dr. Bridgeman at Catawba Pediatrics since birth. The oldest is 20 and is ‘aging out’ of the pediatric office which makes her sad because she likes Dr. Bridgeman and says everyone else there is “nice.” All the …

  31. I always feel that my kids are well taken of when we go to Catawba Pediatrics. The Doctors & nurses are so compassionate. Especially Dr Bridgeman. You have to wait sometimes but you know that they are taking care of emergencies or sick patients. It is definitely worth the wait.

  32. I am a first time, expecting mother and I’ve been contacting local pediatric offices to schedule visits to get a tour and possibly meet with one of the providers. The two other offices I contacted were more than happy to schedule such an …

  33. We get sick every time we go there. The doctors act like you are wasting their time and they barely spend a minute in the office with you. They don’t listen to your kids and actually seem to dislike children. The front desk staff and …

  34. Angela the reception nurse is so so so rude. She refused to set an appointment saying that the earliest was over a month away. I later spoke to a different nurse and they scheduled me for an appointment for the next business day. I will …

  35. I’ve been wanting to write a review for a while because I’ve been hoping our beloved doctor’s office was just going through a bad spell, but today was just too much. It has been increasingly more difficult just to get someone to answer the …

  36. I have been taking my child to Catawba Pediatrics since we moved to Hickory 5 years ago and we love Dr Harrill. I just called to make an appointment for my child and I held for 26 MINUTES before I even spoke to a human being! FINALLY, …

  37. I normally have good reviews but this time and a time before the receptionist forgot to check my children in. The first time a whos hour went by before I noticed. I just thought maybe they were that busy and I was being patient. This was …

  38. You can’t ever get ahold of anyone on the phone. You get stuck in the please hold loop for almost an hour. Once you do have an appointment you will wait over an hour from the time your appointment starts until you ACTUALLY see a doctor. The …

  39. Absolutely love Dr. Lowery she is hands down the best. Always above and beyond. Takes the time to listen and get to know each child. I never feel rushed and always feel that my kids are in good hands.

  40. We love their doctor and the doctors office great team their dr. Klein actually listens to u and what u have to say for ur kids hes great with both our kids and we all love him as a dr our kids was born with bilateral cleft lip and palate …

  41. I love seeing Dr. Kline and the other staff is so professional and polite always and the concern and cares he has for the children and adolescents are amazing he is not a ok here’s a script see you by doctor he listens and allows you to ask questions!!

  42. I complained about this practice in May because they were not taking adequate care of my son’s nasal issues. I just tried to make an appt for a different son and was informed their patient/doctor contract has been terminated due to …

  43. I take my nephew there to see Dr Froedge, and he has always been patient and understanding, taking time to talk with the young patient, and not just the parent/guardian. Several times, Dr Henson has seen my nephew (for a concussion, and …

  44. Dr Bridgeman is Amazing! She always takes her time with my kids and I never feel rushed!! She informs the children of potential issues in a non demeaning manner which speaks a lot to them!! Will never switch providers!!!!!

  45. They always get my kids in to be seen when sick. The front desk girl, Karen, was friendly and efficient. The new doc, maybe his name is Dr. Cline, was thorough and took a flu swab and strep swab. When they were both negative, we left with a …

  46. We’ve had nothing but good experiences with Catawba Pediatrics. The nurses and other staff are always helpful and pleasant, and the facility is clean. Dr. Lowry is wonderful!

  47. I LOVE taking my son here! I feel welcome, I feel like whenever I ask a question they happily answer and don’t make you feel guilty for asking, it is clean and the staff and office is very sanitary (which makes a germaphobe mommy very …

  48. Amazing staff!!! Always attentive to our needs and meet our questions and concerns fully before leaving our visits. Fast and convenient appointments always offered!!!

  49. Absolutely horrible customer service and experience. We just took my newborn son for his third visit and the Receptionist misheard a word that was said for another, racist slanderous word. We were not made aware the receptionist thought she …

  50. I am not sure why this establishment makes it so hard to get an appointment for your child. According to their Facebook page they seem absolutely accommodating. Maybe they are, but if you speak with Angela that’s not what you’ll get. She …

  51. This facility has frustrated me so bad that if my kids doctor is unavailable for a sick appointment I’ll go to the ER or an urgent care before I try a different doctor here. An ER visit may take hours and hours to be seen but at least the doctors there will actually listen to your concerns and SHOW UP.

  52. I would recommend this office only to people who love waiting for up to an hour, enjoy impersonal care (bordering on rude), and thrive on misdiagnosis. If you like seeing your child treated like an absolute annoyance for feeling sick, or …

  53. I have been so impressed by the Doctors and staff at Catawba Pediatrics. Such patience with my new twin granddaughters. My own children were patients here many years ago and it is good to know that my grandchildren are receiving the same wonderful care.

  54. Kelly Bridgeman is the best doctor ever. Very respectful and compassionate. She is dedicated to making sure her patients are comfortable and healthy! Absolutely love her!

  55. We were very pleased with Dr. Kline at todays 4 year check for our little man. He really Took the time to explain everything and make sure all of our questions were answered! This is the first face to face appointment we have had with Dr. …

  56. Dr. Kline and his nurse were amazing. Dr. Kline was extremely thorough and answered all our questions. He took the time is what we appreciated most. The both were very patient and not in a rush with our unhappy to be there little one. Definitely would recommend Dr. Kline.

  57. The staff, the MA’s & the RNs were great! So was the phlebotomist! I was kind of leery when I walked in. But after being there and getting the absolute best care, from educated empathetic individuals , I realized these people are great! I …

  58. I enjoy coming to this practice Dr. Bridgeman is amazing! She is very caring and she spends the time needed with my child. Yes, sometimes I have to wait almost an hour, but you have to understand that depending on how busy the office may be …

  59. Every time we go, the doctors are always extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the issues we have faced, and the staff very friendly. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. My children most often see Dr. Bridgeman, and they absolutely love her, …

  60. Dr. Kline is always a breath of fresh air when it comes to interacting with a medical doctor. He is knowledgeable and truly enjoys working with children. We are blessed to have been referred to such a phenomenal pediatrician.

  62. I have been taking my children to Catawba Pediatrics for almost ten years and always feel extremely satisfied with the level of care and follow up they receive. All of the doctors and nurses are compassionate and treat my children as though …

  63. We love Dr. Barrett! He’s a man of few words, but they are the ones you need to hear. The office staff is always friendly and competent. It’s much harder to get an in person sick visit since COVID–which is probably my only complaint. …

  64. Our family loves Dr. Barrett. He is always so nice and calming to my boys. He gets us in and out of the office without making us feel rushed. His nurses are great too!!!

  67. Loved this facility. I came here when I was 5 all the way until like 18 years old. Very friendly staff and my son is now going to this pediatrician and Dr. Henson and her nurse were amazing. I can’t complain.

  68. I am very impressed with Dr Kline. He is very professional and good with my daughter. No dragging around exam but kind and gentle. So happy he is her doctor

  69. I scheduled a telehealth visit for my daughter to discuss what to do after a COVID exposure. The nurse called 10min before the appointment to ask her questions. I joined the meeting a few minutes before it started. Dr Harill was showing …

  70. My son has been going to this Practice for over 5 years now and I have nothing bad to say about anyone at this office. He primarily sees Dr. Joy Lowery and she is beyond wonderful. She has even personally called to check on my son after …

  71. Catawba pediatrics is an office that has been around for decades, through my mom and uncle growing up seeing Dr Bates, through myself growing up seeing any of the amazing providers, and now with my own child. Dr Barrett has always greeted …

  72. Dr. Henson is great! My kids love her! I usually have a good experience here seeing as how I have taking my kids here for 12 years but most recently the experience with Dr. Barrett has not been that great. I get rushed thru an appointment …

  73. Everyone we’ve met at Catawba Pediatric Associates has been so loving and so kind. My husband and I are first time parents and have felt very encouraged by the doctors we’ve seen, especially Dr. Klein. Dr. Klein has been reassuring and practical, and we would definitely recommend him and Catawba pediatrics.

  74. I love this pediatric office! They pay really close attention to the child, their health, and there development. We have been seeing Dr. LOWRY for about 5 year now and she is the BEST! All the drs are great though. Highly recommend this practice to any parents in the catawba/alexander/Burke area.

  75. Dr. Barrett consistently provides excellent care. My three year old has no issues with going to see him for his well checks and asks to go to the doctor if he’s sick. As a parent I really appreciate Dr. Barrett communicating with my child since he is the patient versus ignoring him and just speaking with me.

  76. We love Dr.Henson! She’s been VERY thorough from the beginning and I feel like she always takes the time to answer my questions, address my concerns and doesn’t rush me out of the room. As a first time parent it’s nice to have a …

  77. I was very pleased with my first visit. I switched doctor offices and it’s the best decision I ever made. Dr.kline listen to my needs for my baby and had no problem helping me with what she needed.

  78. My godson usually sees Dr Henson, but saw Dr Kline during his last visit. It was a good experience and the visit went smoothly. The practice called in 1-1/2 days with test results. On the other hand, my gastroenterologist’s practice says …

  79. Dr.Bridgeman is the absolute best!! She is very patient, understanding and considerate with my 2yr old son( hes the patient) he has been going to Catawba pediatric since birth and I went when I was a baby. I feel comfortable talking to her …

  80. My kids have been coming here for 19 years never met Dr Kline not usually my kids doctor but had him for my son’s sick visit today he seemed very kind and listen to my concerns he seems like he’s a great caring doctor

  81. I switched to Catawba Pediatrics and yesterday 10/18/21, was my son’s first time being seen there. Joy Lowery was great! She addressed his issues and more. Some issues I have been asking his previous doctor about for over a year. I’m very happy she listened to me and my concerns.

  82. We are new here to this office and Dr Kline didn’t seem knowledgeable about Autism and he said he was uncomfortable filling the prescriptions from my child’s prior doctor. And my other child has a cough and he had the nurse call and tell me …

  83. I was always a fan of this office and our Dr. That is until I asked for a printout of the vaccines my infant was to be given so I could research the safety and necessity before they are given to him. I was told that if I did not vaccinate …

  84. As a first time mom, I call the Dr. a LOT. I have always been welcomed for the questions and never pushed aside. Dr. Kline is GREAT and my daughter is comfortable with him. That is so important. All of the other doctors that I have seen …

  85. Was misdiagnosed by a doctor at this location. People here are EXTREMELY rude!!! Would not recommend this place to ANYONE!! Filed a complaint through the board as well. The doctors need to do more training or not try to rush you out the door so fast to make room for another person! I would give 0 stars if I could.

  86. Dr. Harrill is always thorough, as well as efficient in assessing and providing treatment for my children. The other staff provide excellent care, as well and interact with both my children and I with understanding, compassion and utmost professionalism.

  87. Dr. Kline has really proved us that he cares about his little patients. He takes the time to explain things thoroughly and listens to our concerns! Always reassured us even if it was the mildest concern. Always made our family feel welcomed! Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor for our little one!

  88. Dr. Kline is by far the best doctor for our daughter. Not only does he make her feel comfortable but he also always makes sure to let me know how good I am doing as a mother. We are moving an hour away but decided that we will make the drive for her appointments just for him.

  89. We’ve been seeing Dr. Austin Kline for almost 2 years now and he is the best of the best! Very professional and listens to any comments or concerns you may have about your child and explains things very thorough. He has shown us time and time again he cares for his tiny patients. They’ve never let us down & we appreciate CPA.

  90. I just moved and need a new pediatrician. I was told that it would take 2-3 weeks . Now it’s been 2 wks and called to check up on it they still haven’t done anything and now my daughter is sick and they told me that I can’t schedule any …

  91. What is a doctor for if they won’t see your child when there sick? How can you see what’s wrong with a child through a phone? If something is wrong with your child your better off taking them to an urgent or hospital where they will …

  92. Very sad to say we will be switching pediatricians after today, Dr.Kline is amazing and we have always loved him but I’ve never felt heard by any of the nurses I’ve had when we go to this office Or when leaving messages on the nurse triage …

  93. Most unprofessional and racist pedestrian office I’ve ever contacted. My daughter i just moved to hickory for Virginia and i got my daughter medical records faxed over immediately, at first they told me it would take three weeks to get the …

  94. Dr. Harrill is a great doctor! She’s very thorough and listens to any questions or concerns you may have. I’m am glad that she is my baby’s doctor!

  95. I love dr.Kline but a few assistants and a few nurses there are ridiculously rude!!..Literally one of the ladies at the front desk called dss on my fiancé saying that he was shaking our baby!!.. when he was burping him! Throughout that …

  96. Dr. Kline is an amazing doctor, very nice & makes sure he listens to every concern you have! My daughter has always hated going to the doctor but now she doesn’t mind going to see Dr. Kline she always says how nice he is after we leave.

  97. Dr. Lowry has been our pediatrician since the boys were babies and now as teenagers we still highly recommend her! We never have to wait long at our appointments and she has always gave the best care and follow up! Thank you Catawba Pediatrics

  98. We moved to the area because of the military with our medically fragile 4 month old. They have wasted 2 weeks of our time trying to get her records from past doctors to just now tell us they still couldn’t see her til the end of December. …

  99. I love Catawba Pediatrics. Dr Barret was kind enough to work my daughter into his busy schedule with her regular doctor being out of the office. We ended up going from a telehealth visit to going in for tests. Waiting on one test result …

  100. A one because zero isn’t possible. My daughter was brought in by my mother today because she woke up very sick and asked to go to the doctors, my daughter never wants to go to the doctors. She was short of breath and has a horrible cough …

  101. Dr Barrett is the absolute best pediatrician! We love his positive nature and willingness to listen. He never makes us feel rushed, always privides us accurate information …
