Dr.Childs is awesome, he actually cares about your child and their well being. he takes plenty of time to explain things and no question is a dumb question. he makes you feel very welcome. his staff however, incredibly rude and very snarky especially over the phone. he really should replace every receptionist in that place. it kind of sucks to be considering switching doctors purely because the staff makes you feel uncomfortable. because we absolutely love him.

Doctor Child is great but his staff are horrible! They make you feel like your child is not welcome. Those lady needs to retire already and hired younger staff that appreciate working with kids.

This ped. is an old fashioned type. He dosen't just come in, check your kid and leave; he plays with them, makes them laugh, asks all kinds of questions and answers beyond your questions.

Dr. Childs truly is by far one of the best pediatric doctors I have ever met. Not only did he help with the delivery of my son, he was at the hospital everyday twice a day checking on him and making sure he was alright. I miss him & his staff and would recommend him to anybody.
