Dr. Glenn Steffen Schlundt

Child complained of ear pain. Call the nurse line at pediatrician office. Spoke to Dr. Glenn who did not ask any details about symptoms. He expressed his annoyance that I would call. Very sad moment for a scared parent. :(

If I could give zero stars I would!!!! I am in disbelief at the way he treated my son and I during our check-up. He specializes in pediatrics well I am not sure he has ever worked with little children. We walk into the room and they tell us to strip my sons clothes in a gown. I have been told to lift things up or slide things off, more so with babies never to undress! You could tell he was annoyed that my son would not take his clothes off. Not to mention this was the first time we are every meeting him. He is little and has only been to the doctors a small times. You are a stranger!! I tried distracting him with books and toys. He was like he needs to put that away now. I was trying to help make this a smooth transition. He shut the light and tried to examine my son. He was crying and covering his eyes. He was like I will be right back, but you need to get that shirt off. We tried when he left the room unsuccessfully with the shirt but we got him to calm down. He noticed the shirt… still on and he was trying to yank it off my son as he is putting up a fight. Of course this made my son even more mad and upset. A typical toddler reaction was to hit and kick, and throw his body around. He told us he is not sure why he is crying and what this behavior is. He was like I don't know what is going on with him today. He said I will not tolerate hitting and my one rule is if he hits I am out. My son did not want him near him or to touch him and he continued to try to examine him without even trying to console him or talk him through what he might be doing with his tools. I understand my son was not having the best behavior due to him not wanting to be or go to the doctors. But this!!! He then got so annoyed and said I am done with this appointment I cant do my job. You can reschedule. Reschedule yah okay! We will not be coming back to you! I am astonished a doctor would ever do this especially our first interaction.

Dr Schlundt is knowledgeable, professional and takes his time to answer all of our questions and concerns. His nurses are also kind and gentle- we know how difficult those immunization appts are but they are always patient with our son. The office is clean and there is a sick and separate well patient waiting area. The only negative review I have is of one person in his office staff- if she can only crack a smile or at least appear like she enjoys seeing patients...but ultimately, we go to see Dr. Schlundt and thankfully interactions with this particular standoffish staff member is short.

We have known Dr. Glenn for over 20 years. He has taken care of all of our kids, the oldest of which is now in college. He is professional, friendly, wise and compassionate. My kids are now old enough to call him on their own with questions or worries. I would never consider going to anyone else.

This review is specifically for GLENN SCHLUNDT. If there were a ZERO STAR option, that would be my selection. If you're looking for a pediatrician who is arrogant, difficult to relate to, unsupportive, unprofessional and has questionable medical judgement, then look no further! You will find all of these qualities in Dr. Schlundt. Special bonus: if your child has a legitimate medical problem, he will parent shame you and make you feel like a failure, offering no support, no guidance, and tons of condescension. Pediatricians should be child health advocates, but DR. SCHLUNDT BECAME OUR FAMILY'S ADVERSARY. I write this review after having my two children at Rose City Pediatrics for 8 years. Our experience with Dr. Schludnt was going downhill every year, culminating this year in him misdiagnosing one of my daughters and treating her unnecessarily with a medication that caused her a week of unpleasant side effects (and a week of missed school). As if this wasn't bad enough,… the final straw came at our last visit, when Dr. Schlundt seemed agitated and frankly disgusted with me and my kids because they had gained weight since their last physical. I came in asking for a referral to a nutritionist, which he would not give me. Instead, his solution was to insist on multiple blood tests, possible liver ultrasounds, and an endocrinologist (?!?!). But NOT the nutrition referral I was seeking. He took me into his office, shut the door, and became frankly unhinged, madly typing things onto his smartphone and then waving it in my face, as though I could possibly see or understand what in the world was on the screen. He was pushing multiple prescriptions, lab orders and and referrals at me with little explanation. I felt corned and attacked. I have never in my life had an interaction with any healthcare professional like the one I had a few weeks ago with Dr. Schlundt. It left me in tears, and took me a week to recover from emotionally. A few weeks after this disturbing interaction, we received one of his famous certified letters in the mail (see multiple Yelp reviews relating a similar experience) stating that he was FIRING us as patients. As a physician myself, I cannot imagine anything more PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE and UNPROFESSIONAL. I would never in my wildest dreams treat even the most difficult patient with so much disrespect. No explanation given, and when I tried to call him and demand one, his office manager ran interference, saying she had no more information and that he wouldn't be calling us back. For 8 years we were compliant patients who paid our bills on time and followed his every direction, and then out of the blue, Dr. Schlundt went off the rails and dumped us, without ever explaining why. There was no warning, no reaching out to us first. I'm still reeling from the whole thing. SIMPLY BEYOND UNPROFESSIONAL! But why was I surprised... I should have read Yelp and seen the dozens of one star reviews stating that he is a disrespectful medication pusher who regularly fires patients by mail with no warning. If you want to have your child overmedicated, given unnecessary prescriptions and subjected to invasive tests for little or no reason, Dr. Schlundt is your guy! When he wanted a blood draw on my 6 year old, I mentioned that she has a needle phobia (which she developed after a traumatic blood draw that Dr. Schlundt insisted she get, although, as a physician, I thought the indication was dubious). His solution was to give my 6 year old Valium! Then suggested that she might need Prozac for her needle phobia and mild anxiety. This is just one example that is emblematic of Dr. Schlundt's medical ethos and is characteristic of our long experience with him: intervene, medicate, prescribe, prescribe, prescribe! Ironically, Dr. Schlundt thinks very highly of himself and seems to have a bizarre need to present himself as professorial and academic. This makes him difficult for kids and parents to relate to. Additionally, he is super closed minded and doesn't listen to his patients whatsoever. At our final appointment with him, he COMPLETELY blew off my 10 year old, who was trying to take charge of her health and ask questions during her physical. He barely acknowledged her concerns, made no eye contact with her, and didn't address her questions at all. He just madly scribbled in the chart, almost manically, without so much as looking up at her. She left wondering if there was something wrong with her. Shame on him. Dr. Schlundt just needs to retire because the only thing I could think of at our last visit was, "Man, this guy seems to hate what he does and just seems SO BURNT OUT." Sidebar: Rose City Pediatrics will nickel and dime you to death! We had ONE school medication form which required A SINGLE SIGNATURE. Cost: $35! And billing in general is extremely opaque. See many comments on Yelp about unnecessary charges and billing irregularities.

Dr. Schlundt is a fantastic pediatricianwith a dry, slightly academic wit andan excellent manner with parents . . . and babies. He does not talk downto parents, and will explain his diagnosisand treatment thoroughly. And he alwaystakes his time, even on a busy day; we never feel rushed in the slightest. We are so happy to have found Dr. Schlundt!

I have been going to Dr. Glenn for 15 years...all three of my children (very different ages) love him. He is professional, personable, kind, funny and very smart. I would never consider going anywhere else. He treats you like family and cares for your children like they were his own. Everyone I have referred to him loves him too.

We had an awful experience and could not believe his arrogance and impatience. Even if he may come off as professional at your first meeting, at one point his arrogance and anger will come through. DO NOT TAKE THE CHANCE AND GO TO HIM!

He comes off nice but is very pompous.

Our three sons are now adults. We watched Dr. Schlundt with them from the time they were toddlers. He was caring, knowledgeable, and thoughtful through all the bumps and scrapes as well as through some more trying medical events. Most of all, I am thankful for watching him develop a rapport with each of our sons in such a way that they now take a responsible role in their own health. What more could a parent want?
