Doctor Elizabeth Triggs was my pediatrician from newborn to 18. She now serves as my daughter's pediatrician. She is top notch. Great bedside manner. Easy to talk with and voice concerns. No question is a stupid question with her and I love that. We cannot say enough good things about her and green hills. We LOVE dr Triggs!

Great office - Dr. Barrow is amazing. Questionable service - turn off phones usually 15 minutes before closing every day - hard to communicate with front desk.

We loved Dr. Barrow! She was always so helpful, listened to our concerns and never felt rushed at our appointments. We were so sad to leave when we moved away.

SO HAPPY we found this doctor's office especially Dr. Ladd. He is patient and is so good at giving parents instructions with babies to make the visit as smooth has possible. We have been to 3 different doctors' offices for our kids and definitely know we will be staying with Dr. Ladd until our kids are grown. Thank so much! Y'all are the best!

Green Hills Pediatrics Associates is the best run healthcare practice I have ever experienced. Dr. Walters is the best pediatrician we could dream up, his nurse Emily is kind and incredibly helpful. And the office is a well-oiled machine. They are kind, responsive, helpful, and always a step ahead. We have never waited more than 3-minutes in the waiting room for a scheduled appointment. If you are looking for a pediatrician, stop now, and book an appointment with Dr. Walters!

Report
I inquired about transferring three kids to the practice. A nurse took detailed information and passed my request along to several of the physicals and I was told upfront that only one physician I had inquired about wasn't accepting patients. The nurse got back to me and informed me that no physicians would take our family based on the fact that my youngest has special needs and they don't feel they have the time for us.
So basically the physicians had time for three kids, but not two typical kids and one with special needs. Yet there is no indication that my special needs child needs any more from a primary care physician than normal. I feel like I've dodged a bullet by finding out early on that this isn't a practice I would want to support, but I feel that other families should be aware!
