My daughter's Dr. is Anderson. I think she has maybe seen him 3 times in her life. Otherwise it's someone else who is saying what she doesn't have. Unhelpful, and seem annoyed to help!

We love Dr Anderson and his nurse Stephanie! They are so good with our son and answer all of our questions. I've called to ask a few questions and Stephanie has always been so helpful and reassuring.

I'm a travel nurse and brought my family with me to Rapid City for a few months. Our 1 year old daughter became sick and it was recommended by friends and family we go to Black Hills Peds. Nodia was the provider who tended to us and we were very impressed. She took the time to answer all questions, didn't make us feel rushed, did a thorough exam and was super friendly. We left with an antibiotic prescription and clear care instructions. We had to pay out of pocket and were pleasantly surprised our bill came to under $200. Would definitely recommend this care team to others. Thanks for the great care Black Hills Peds!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Hushagen and her nurse, Renae! They have been amazing communicators and been very personable with caring for our daughter. I would recommend these two to anyone. Even the PA we saw on one occasion was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. I always felt listened to and they never overlooked any health concern with my daughter. They are wonderful and on top of things!

The only issue we had was with the technicians being unable to draw my daughters blood. They poked her over 5 times by 3 different techs, causing a really stressful situation. I did not feel confident in their abilities to find the vein. But they were eventually able to obtain her blood through a finger poke. Overall, I recommend Dr. H to anyone!

My children have been going to Black Hills Pediatrics since 2001. Dr. Strong is our pediatrician there and she is fabulous! We've always received excellent and quality care from her. I highly recommend them.

If you are have a sick child i highly recommend going somewhere else. Whenever i go and say i have a sore throat i always get tested for strep. I have a previous medical history and they told me it was wrong and it had came from a specialist. They never actually help you. I have two jobs and I had to get tested and i knew that i was going to have to go into quarantine but refused to give me a doctors note for the amount of time i was going to need off for quarantine because she "didn't feel comfortable" giving me that amount of time.

Also while i was in my room i was told by the doctor that after i get my test done that I am good to go but after lab came in to take the test they told me to wait. So i decided to wait and I sat in my room for a good 10 minutes after they left until another nurse came in and told me that I could go. When i was leaving i noticed that the waiting room lights were off and the lady that checked me in was no longer there.

They had totally forgotten about me. I was not happy with this visit at all and should most definitely go to a different pediatric or even urgent care because they know more about what they are doing then they do at this facility.

Dr. Lori Strong and her nurse are amazing. We had a check up today for my child's 3 year old check up. Every time we go in to see her she is super friendly, very knowledgeable and always has the answers. I just love her energy and all the information I get when we go in. I wish she could be my doctor also. Thank you black hills pediatrics! I would recommend her to anyone.
