Terrible office, I got charged $25 for not being able to make an appointment because I was held up at another appointment. Then charged me $35 to pierce my child's ears then told me I would have to pay another $35 since my my child's right earlobe closed up then they don't even want to write a referral for you, I had to be aggressive just to get one! The billing dept is trash. They are unprofessional and inconsiderate of the patients. Please take your child elsewhere this place is a disgrace!

We LOVE Dr Lorts, but I am seriously considering switching practices. The front desk NEVER answers the phone. The past two visits I have sat outside for 15-20 minutes with sick kids waiting for them to answer my messages. They act like we are late for our appointments, when in reality we are early and just waiting on them to answer their phone. They won't let us come inside to check in because of COVID symptoms, which is understandable, but answer your phone or send the text messages like you're suppose to. So frustrating!

We've loved this practice and all the physicians and practitioners who have helped both of our kids for over 5 years. I hope we never have to change locations! I highly recommend this practice. Very caring, compassionate and down to earth people who have helped us through many situations.

We switched pediatric offices after several disappointing appointments. I was referred to Dr. Young and yet to be disappointed. From the very first appointment, the doctors took the time to get to know my daughter and her needs (severe allergies, eczema and asthma). They listened to my concerns instead of brushing them off as the former office did. In 2019, when I knew my daughter was sick, the previous office told me she was fine. We had a follow up with Dr. Young and discovered she had mono. It's so nice to know that the doctors in this office care about my child and strive to get her the best possible care.

Absolute joke. My son has allergies and has for quite some time. Of course this is allergy season. We kept him home for the day because of his head congestion. School requires an allergy note. Called and set up a telehealth appointment. Simple and easy. Nope. Allison feels that my son needs COVID testing for his allergy symptoms. Then proceeds to tell me if he has a runny nose at school from his allergies he will be tested again. This is an absolute racket. Way to get extra copays for unnecessary visits. Be ready if your kid so much as farts funny and you call them your kid will be forced to come in and be tested.

I wanted to share a positive experience with the billing department. I was having insurance issues and they spent a lot of time on the phone with me and my company to get things straightened out. They also assured me that if needed they could set me up and work with me on a payment plan. It ended up working out and I owed very little but I appreciate the time thy spent explaining to me and sorting things out with the insurance. I love this office from the providers down they are all amazing and go above and beyond!

Wow! I'm surprised with some of these reviews. My family & I have had an amazing relationship with this office. My children has come here since each one's birth. They are all so kind & caring. I haven't had much to do with the office manager, never had an instance to need to. Not really sure which one she is & actually, that's ok with me. I haven't personally met with the billing office either, again never had to.

I have seen them speaking with other families explaining something, they seem to be very knowledgeable and treated them very nice. The office staff and doctors are amazing. They truly care about my children & are super sweet to them when they come in. I love how when we come in they all seem to be so genuinely happy to see my children. I get great information from them & learn new things each time. I'm sorry for anyone that had a bad experience. Maybe it was a bad day? But, so far, they have been great with us. I would definitely recommend this office.
