Report
I'd leave a zero if I could. My children's pediatrician has retired. This practice states they won't see my children until they receive the records from the original doctors office. Those records were requested. If they were sent or received, I have no way of checking. My child has recently gotten Covid & needed to see a doctor. I called this practice THREE times only to be told they will not accept my children as patients because they DON'T KNOW if they have the records. Reception keeps transferring me to their records department where no one ever answers the phone. I have left messages but no one calls back. So screw my kids and their health needs because a few papers haven't been processed?

We love PSS & Susan.but getting INTO the EL office is extremely confusing! I suggest that the confirmation texts/emails clearly state that you need to go to the *back pkng lot entrance*. We saw another family wandering across to another building, as confused as we were.

I have gone to Pediatric Services of Springfield since the day I was born in 1988. They ar absolutely amazing. The doctors and nurses are by far the best. They do everything and anything they can to help your children and you. My boys love going to the doctor and that's not something many people can say.

We have been going here since my son was born (almost 2 years). They are the best pediatricians around! We felt so at ease when we met Dr. B in the hospital and have been pleased with every appointment since! They are always quick with sick appointments and all of the staff are very patient and friendly!

Amazing team of providers here. I went as a child and now bring my son here. I have seen most of the providers here but am partial to both of the Nordstroms as well as Megan. Caring, intelligent, and all around good people. I had to call in after hours today (Sunday) around 9:30pm and left a message for the provider on call. Dr. Nordstrom called me back in exactly 2 minutes and answered all of my questions. They deserve best pediatric office every year!
