Millie is short, curt and rude to me on the phone and when I bring my child in. SOME of the doctors are very good. If my doctor wasn't so great with my child, I would find another place since dealing with Millie is quite an unpleasant experience. I get having a tough and busy job, but you catch more bees with honey and kindness.

It was a work experience. I worked there for 6 weeks. Training was very hard. Trainers were Millie and Sam. Millie was great. Sam was not. She was more interested in talking about people and never stayed at her desk. She talked about staff and patients all behind there backs. She did not train well at all. I left because I heard her talking badly about me in the office. If your a patient, believe me she's talking something about you. I liked the job but not her and no one ever helped except Millie.

We have had consistently good experiences with this practice. Dr. Larner is our primary care physician, and she is amazing. She listens, is very knowledgeable, and truly cares about her patients. We have also seen Dr. Swanson and Veronica. Both have been very helpful and kind. We have always been able to get in for a sick visit the same day, and every provider, nurse, and receptionist have been incredibly kind and patient. As with any doctor, you need to advocate for your child, and this office listens closely when you do.

We love going to Delmar Pediatrics. Dr. Looney is the only doctor in the world that my wife trusts. Dr. Looney has been our family pediatrician for over 30 years. She keeps saying we need to have more kids so we can keep going to see him.

Have been going to Delmar pediatrics for 6 years now have always had great experiences with all the doctors but son had a pre-op appointment scheduled today at 11:45 we called yesterday and were told that was the only appointment they had before his sugery on oct 8th so we took it less then 15 mins before his appointment today they call and cancel and say the doctor had a family emergency I hope everything is ok and it's nothing serious.
And they could reschedule till this afternoon I was 5 mins from the office when they called. And no other doctor could see him for a pre-op even though we were there. I understand emergencies happen but if I were to call 15 mins before my appointment is be told 3 of these your out of the practice or were still charging a copay. Just disheartening that another doctor couldn't see the patient even if I had to wait a while for my son to be see it's instantly we need to reschedule less then 15 mins before his appointment

We see Dr. Larner and love her. She is always friendly, down to earth and listens. You can tell she really cares about her patients. We recently moved about 30 minutes away from this office and I refuse to switch to a closer pediatrician because Dr. Larner is the only one I trust!
