Not good place to take a port family down there.
Took my son twice to preferred pediatrics in one week, first time Dr.Kost prescribed him zofran for his vomiting and then went in again and Dr.Hall prescribed my son antibiotics well long story short after an entire week goes by I took my son to the E.R. and he had pneumonia! I cannot believe either of the doctors didn't see that he had pneumonia, unbelievable!! I'm changing pediatricians!!
Love the staff and doctors very nice
Love all the staff, and very easy to get a doctor appointment with a sick child. My kids have been going there for the last 10 years. Never had a problem with the doctor or staff.
Thier new patient policy is dumb. We moved across the country and have to wait until they get records from our old office to be seen when we are on a time crunch for school.
Overall they are good, never experienced any problems with them. Everyone make mistakes every once in a while, no one is a perfect soul.
We have loved the staff and Dr.'s we've worked with at Preferred Pediatrics-Snowden office. They have seen our children for the past 4 years; our youngest since birth. The nursing staff is more than accommodating for fussy, or fearful children. They go out of their way to be friendly and encouraging to the little ones while being helpful and supportive of the parents. We've come in for everything from ear infections to unidentifiable rashes and have always received excellent attention and care. We've never had to wait more than 15-20 minutes to be seen. They are always helpful finding us an appointment, even at the last minute. We've visited the other Preferred Pediatrics offices and found them to hold to the same standard of care. We highly recommend them.
Our experience with our office was a string of careless errors. Dr Kost wrote our twins' vitamin D Rx for one drop when the true dosage was one dropper. I overlooked this as no big deal. The much bigger issue occurred when she prescribed my newborn 8 mL of Zantac twice a day. She had intended to type 0.8mL. This yielded a screaming infant who would not eat, smelled like a medicine cabinet, and a 4am call to poison control. Dr Kost then blamed CVS for not catching her mistake. Additionally, when we called their office at 4am and got their answering service, they told us to call CVS. Nice.
I cannot believe the sheer callousness and ridiculousness of the policy of this office. I just moved here a few weeks ago. My daughter has a tummy ache, and they will not give her an appointment before her records are transferred. What kind of moronic policy is this? Why not make an appointment, see if she has anything wrong that can be taken care of immediately, and should I wish to establish a relationship with this office, THEN move the records? Can you believe they refused to look at her??????
