We love Dr. Bierma and his nurses! They are always the best! We love the new remodel as well but we missed seeing the fun stickers in the room. My kids and I played games using those stickers to help with the restlessness

Everytime we are in the office, I learn something new. Even if it's a routine visit, and especially when it is something unexpected. My children love him, and he is their doctor here and at Easter Seals.

Complicated. This is my 20 month old son's doctor. My son's mom lives with her husband, their 3 kids, and my son. I brought proof, directly from my son's mom, that her husband beat one of his own children, who is also a patient of this same doctor. Undeniable proof. The doctor said nothing...did nothing. The doctor even treated the abused child for concussion like symptoms. But still...no questions, no reports, no action taken...not even a comment. He is neglecting his oaths and duties as a doctor. He put personal feelings ahead of a child's welfare.

This doctor will quickly put your kids on medication. Especially if you want him drugged up. He doesn't take the kids personal thoughts into account. You can tell him what you want done, and he'll write a script for that.

He was terrible. Rushed us out of the room. He was arrogant. He didn't allow us to talk or ask questions. I would not trust his advice for my child and we will not be returning. I highly discourage folks from taking their kids to this doctor.
