Great for kids
Great Dr and staff
Good
Outstanding practice that’s great at treating kids. Dr. John Hertenstein is awesome.
We love the staff, nurses, and doctors at Healthcare for Children. Everyone is so kind and caring. Always a pleasant experience!
The doctors are only in it for themselves. They don’t want to give you an actual answer on COVID vaccinations and the effectiveness.
Could not ask for a better office to take my kiddos to. Our health, feelings, and time are always taken into consideration. They are so kind and informative. ♥️
Have been taking our son to Dr. Hertenstein since he was born. Great doctor and great staff!
Will always get my girls in whenever needed. Have seen over the years all the doctors and ALL put the children’s best interest first.
This used to be a great doctor’s office. But,h long wait times for scheduled appointments, misdiagnosis, and rude and disrespectful staff have hurt this office. I wouldn’t refer this office to any of my family or friends.
The staff is always very helpful and are great with kids. We don’t usually have any issues trying to book an appointment, even on short notice.
Love the staff and doctors here. My kiddos love their appointments with Dr. John. Great office, great care!
Dr. Hertenstein retired and I will never bring my child here to these doctors since he is gone.
This is hands down the best pediatric establishment that my family has used. The front desk is always friendly and helpful. The nurses remember the kids and are very patient and the Doctors are second to none. Thank you for everything and taking good care of the kids.
I have some issues with this facility. Most of the doctors are good and caring, however my first issue has to do with a doctor talking about his VASECTOMY to my wife while she was in there to get my daughters immunizations?!?!?!?! …
We absolutely love this office. The staff is always so nice, and Dr. Rinker is our absolute favorite. She takes time to really listen to me and engages my 1.5 year old. We have never had an issue getting in for urgent exams, and the …
He is so unprofessional. He treats my kids like just another one coming thru. Will not let you ask questions because “he has been doing this for so many years, he knows what he is talking about” his word. I always see Dr Paul. He just …
I haven’t really had an issue with them until today. My 3 children and my 2 step children go to this facility.
I have 1 teenage daughter that is having a situation with depression that she …
Dr. Paul Lively is the absolute best pediatrician! The front desk is always friendly. The nurses greet us with the utmost respect. Dr. Lively listens to our needs and directs us to the best solution. I rave about Health Care for Children to anyone who is looking for a pediatrician that truly cares about there patients!
My child received a vaccine too early at this practice requiring him to have to get a repeat vaccination for school. Furthermore, they wanted to charge for a whole doctor visit for their mistake just to get a vaccine. As a medical …
My son and I love this pediatric office. We are always able to get an appointment quickly. Every doctor has been amazing with my son. I am very satisfied with our experience every visit.
The front desk ladies are amazing and always smiling and so nice every time.
I have a feeling it’s easy to get an appointment here because no one wants to deal with these people. Every single person I came in contact with were so rude, literally told me over the phone “well I don’t know what we can do about that” …
Called the other day and had to leave a voicemail for medical records (it was in the evening). The next morning I received a phone call and was sent everything I needed! Thank you for the prompt response!! Dr. Lively has been great with my little guy, staff is nice and listens.
Be cautious and ask lots of questions or you’ll be challenged! Be mindful of how coding is done to your visit. You need to educate yourself on the complexity of your child’s visit to know how you will be billed. If you make a payment to …
Healthcare for Children has been our pediatrician for almost 7 years and we’ve had such a great experience. Recently, they have lost three of their main doctors. I was a bit concerned but have since had three great experiences with their …
We just visited this office for the first time this week for well checks and vaccines. Wow! I’ve never had such a thorough well visit for my kids. Dr Melanie Lively took her time and was very detailed, kind, and helpful. I’ve been to …
