Dr. Kathleen Boyd Dollins, MD

Our experience with Dr. Dollins was extremely disappointing and upsetting. Twelve hours after my wife gave birth to our second daughter, Dr. Dollins made her break down in tears and feel like a terrible mother. She was condescending, dismissive, and made us feel deliberately belittled for asking reasonable questions. The issue began when we asked why the Hepatitis B vaccine needs to be administered on the first day of life. Instead of explaining with understanding or evidence, Dr. Dollins laughed at us and accused us of “relying on politics instead of science”—even though we had not mentioned anything political. She told us to “trust her and her research,” yet provided no actual studies or scientific references, only personal opinions. We made it clear that we are not anti-vaccine, but that based on our own research, we believe the Hep B vaccine isn’t immediately necessary for a low-risk newborn. When I asked how a baby could contract Hep B if the mother doesn’t have it, she… responded, “We’re not here to judge, but life happens.” That comment was dismissive and inappropriate, implying moral judgment rather than providing science-based guidance. When we declined the erythromycin ophthalmic ointment, she again laughed and sarcastically asked, “Why?” When I asked what it was for, she said, “For gonorrhea and chlamydia.” I replied that my wife does not have either infection, and Dr. Dollins repeated, “Like I said, life happens.” That statement was both offensive and suggestive—essentially implying infidelity. She then said, “Sorry, I don’t want your daughter to go blind,” to which I said, “Oh a fear tactic, I see.” Her response: “Yep.” Such behavior is unprofessional, disrespectful, and unacceptable from a medical professional—especially when directed toward new parents hours after delivery. We hope this review serves as serious feedback that this type of treatment is not appropriate in any setting. Dr. Dollins owes my wife an apology.

Dr. Dollins is one of the best pediatricians I have ever had. I moved from Ohio to Texas, she makes you comfortable, she includes the child. If I ever move back to Texas I will see her again.

Dr. Dollins is a phenomenal pediatrician! She has seen my children since birth and I highly recommend her! She is extremely personable, takes an interest in my children and always spends plenty of time instead of trying to rush us out the door. I feel that she treats my children as if she were treating her own. Very thankful we found her many years ago!

Decent enough on diagnosing my girls sinus infection, but not very warm or friendly. I will try again but only one more chance on this one. I was addressed but I feel like my child was a subject being tested rather than a patient being cared for.

WONDERFUL, PLEASANT, HAPPY, BRIGHT...AND SO INCREDIBLY SMART!

Dr. Dollins seems very knowledgable and is always friendly, with a smile on her face when she walks through the door. Best of all, she spends a lot of time with my daughter and I when we have an appointment with her. So many doctors have their hand on the door handle the entire time you are with them in the exam room, but Dr. Dollins always has plenty of time to talk with us and answer questions. I recommend her to any parent.

Kathaleen Dollins is a great Doctor and very caring to her patients. Both my kids feel very comfortable with her. My younger kid has lot of allergies and she took a lot of time explaining how to deal with the allergies and followed up to make sure he is ok. I would recommend this doctor to everyone.
