Dr Magnuson is a wonderful pediatrician! My kids love him, he always makes them laugh. He is very thorough and has managed my son’s special needs with great care. I love everyone in his office, but he is truly a blessing to us.

I had to report Dr. Magnuson on 3 different occasions for medical neglect. I would avoid this doctor.

John has neither seen nor spoken to one of his daughters in over 4 years. He kicked his other 13 year old daughter out of his house and hasn’t seen her in over a year. He IS NOT A CHILD ADVOCATE. HE DOESN’T EVEN TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN CHILDREN. BEWARE

Our three daughters were patients of Dr. Magnuson for approximately 7 years. Unfortunately, my health insurance changed and we were forced to find a new primary care physician for our children. I couldn't imagine any other pediatrician going to the lengths that Dr Magnuson consistently went showing genuine concern for our daughters' health and well being. He was always willing to spend time thoroughly discussing whatever illness we were up against and never failed to make our children feel comfortable.

Gave an opinion on a vision problem that he had no expertise in and sent me to another MD that led to not getting the proper treatment for the condition-convergence insufficiency
