We adore our pediatrician! I have always felt I can call Haywood Peds and get help any time, any day our kids have needed it. I feel my infant and my older child are truly getting the best care there is.. Being a military family, this is by far the best place we have ever had our kids treated and will miss it dearly when we leave!

Report
I'm very unhappy and disappointed in the way we have been treated here. Today we waited 2 hours to be seen without an apology . This was with having an appointment! Then they were unfriendly and rude . The worst part is they weren't helpful at all in my child's care. She was in tears when we left upset they weren't going to do anything to help her feel better. We will be looking for a new pediatrician.

We have absolutely loved our experience at Haywood Pediatrics. Doctor Vereen and the entire staff are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and sweet not only to our son but also my husband and I. We are first time parents and we feel comfortable and confident with everything the doctors and nurses have said to us. Hands down an amazing pediatrician office that I'd recommend to anyone in Haywood County!

I take both of my young children here, we love Dr. Vereen! Everyone is kind and friendly. Every time I need an appointment urgently I'm able to get one in a timely manner.
