When I pulled out my list of questions he actually said that he loves lists and wants me to bring more questions next time! He went line by line to answer all of my questions.

My kids love seeing Dr Traeger. He answers all my questions and even brings things up that I forgot to ask about! Thanks for taking care of my family!

I am so glad that he is our daughters pediatrician. He answers our questions and is always willing to spend the extra time with us. As a new parent I am so glad that we chose him!

Dr. Aaron R Traeger is the worst physician I have ever been to!!! He dropped my son as a patient from sugar creek after going there since birth (11 years) after seeing him once for his school physical! He is a vaccine pusher, more like a sales rep. working for a vaccine company. He lacked knowledge important to health about vaccines and was also very rude. If you go to the office website you will see he is not even listed as a doctor but yet he works there currently. He is truly a quack!

I have taken my children to see Dr. Traeger for about two years and we will never return to see him again. He has repeatedly seemed to not listen to my concerns and has been wrong with the ailments of my children more than once. I of course do not expect any doctor to be right 100% of the time, but this has happened too many times. My last experience with him was so bizarre that not only do I think he is pushy towards his own agenda (and always has been), but I'm concerned about his honesty in what was truly ailing my child. My child would have ended up in the ER that night if we hadn't gotten a second opinion at OSF prompt care where we learned what was truly wrong and received good medical care. It was a very scary day and if we had listened to Dr. Traeger it would have gotten even scarier. There's more to this than I'm telling due to lack of space, but I will say that he has completely lost his credibility with our family.

My family and kids love this guy! He gives more detailed explanations than any doctor I have seen previously. We just love that he gives out the direct number to his staff. His nurses are great, especially Marge!
