Report
After having been a family with East suburban pediatrics for 19 years I am disappointed to say that the care by specifically the physician staff has been poor. Over the past several years I have made appointments with the CRNP providers only for well visits because of how we were treated by the physicians. A recent sick visit with one of my children was by far the worst experience I have ever had with any physician pediatric or adult. This review is specifically about the physician care. The nurses, advanced practice nurses and office staff are wonderful.
