Dr. Kitchens are her office staff are AMAZING! We have been going to her for 3.5 years now and she has always been great at listening to our concerns, and explaining what's going on. Her office is great at offering same day appointments if needed and we are always seen pretty quickly. I believe there was only one time where we had to wait over 30 minutes before going back to a room. My only "complaint" is that they are a pediatric office and when we went to the Evans location we noticed they do not have toddler potty seats or step stools which was an issue with my newly potty trained daughter.

If anyone from the office is reading this, they make toilet seats with a built in toddler seat and you can get them at Home Depot I think it's worth looking into. Other than that, you guys are awesome!

Literally the worst experience I have EVER had taking my kids to a doctor. I have never been so heated leaving an appointment before! As a family we choose not to vaccinate and because of this choice I feel we were treated very poorly. I was told what I was doing is illegal and got nothing but sighs and huffing from the doctor. I felt SO uncomfortable and will never be going back.

Dr Harris has been my daughters pediatrician since the day she was born! She was the pediatrician who saw her at the hospital and I liked her so much we followed her My daughter is now about to be 14 and we wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

Our experience here has been incredibly frustrating and infuriating. We are military and move around a lot. Pediatric Partners had fabulous reviews so we were hopeful it would be a good fit. It's been a massive headache. Scheduling appointments in impossible unless you have your entire set of medical records transferred over. For us, that meant contacting and releasing medical records from 4 DIFFERENT facilities before they would even see us!

It took 2 months for all the medical records to finally come through before we could even schedule an appointment. The office in Evans is overcrowded and wait times are at least 30-45 minutes after your appointment time. The front staff of receptionists are less than friendly and always in a rush. The nurses and doctors seem fine, but it doesn't make up for the hassle with everything else. And lastly, in an effort to be ready for our next move, I requested to have a physical copy of my medical records to take with us to our next duty station. They charge $30 per record! For YOUR own medical record! What in the actual hell? This place is a joke.

Dr. B is one of the most caring people I have ever met. She has been my daughters Ped for 3 years and it always feels like a friend is walking in when she enters the room. My 4 year old LOVES her. We recently left GA and will miss Dr. B and her staff so much. Nicole has helped me with paper work to transfer schools to a new state and is always upbeat and friendly. She calls back quickly and has made sure all of our needs are taken care of. Thank you Ped Partners of Augusta, especially Nicole and Dr. B.

Dr. Safford was very kind during the appointment and even drew a picture to help me to understand my sons consistent croopy cough. When I had a concern about his seizures and night terrors she would not call me back. The office refused to let me make an appointment for the concern. She recommended melatonin with out speaking to me and when I told her nurse that melatonin caused the night terrors, the response I received was "well that's what the doctor recommends".

No follow up call after with a response after I told them that was an issue. Clearly does not care about putting parents minds at ease about ongoing concerns. I don't mind seeing her for my 2 healthy kids but would sooner drive back to VA from GA to see my previous pediatrician than to see her if there are any health concerns. After reading this review they contacted me to tell me this was shocking and not normal and I could make an appointment anytime I needed and then when I called for an appointment they did it again! I am fuming!
