We love Mt. Airy pedaitrics. They always answer the phone and the front desk staff are so kind and helpful. Our kids see Nurse Victoria. We never feel rushed and I always feel welcome to ask as many questions as I want. We highly recommend Mt. Airy pedaitrics :)

Report
We scheduled a meeting with the pediatrician a week ago. We took the day off work to come here, and arrived on time. Paid $20 at the front desk for the meeting then waited 15 in the reception area. Then we waited in the doctor office.. and waited.. and waited. We could hear the pediatrician at the end of the hall joking around and making small talk with other staff. After another 30min of waiting to decided not to waste anymore time and left. 15min we got a call saying the pediatrician was finally ready and they couldn't find us in the office. This was a huge waste of time and a waste of money

A great practice. They always take their time with appointments. Everything is thoroughly explained and the providers take time to answer questions. The providers keep up with current research and incorporate that into the appointment conversation. The reception staff are very nice and always pleasant and helpful over the phone. Also, we can always get a sick visit on the same day as needed.
