Dr. Nicholas Paul Knighton, DO

He's arrogant, incompetent, and didn't listen to my concerns for my baby. She ended up being sick for a long time because he refused to run any tests. Parents know when their child is sick. This man is negligent and shouldn't be practicing. If you love your children, don't bring them to this hack job.

I chose this doctor for my newborn because he is the only pediatrician in our area. He seemed ok at first, mainly because we had only seen him for well-baby checks. However, when he failed to notice an infection in my baby's eye, calling it a "clogged tear duct," I knew something was a bit off. Then, my baby started to have diarrhea. After two weeks of it, I decided to take her to see this doctor. I also brought in a soiled diaper so he could do a culture on the stool. All he did was look at the diaper, check her out externally (not very thoroughly), and told me, "She's going to be just fine." I've always trusted doctors, so I took his word for it. Her diarrhea persisted for over another month, totaling almost two months in all. Finally, she was so fussy and in so much pain that we brought her in to the ER. They did a stool culture and found out she had toxic clostridium difficile. Many people have this bacteria in their digestive system, but sometimes, it starts to actively… produce a toxin that causes colitis (inflammation of the colon), which causes diarrhea. My baby suffered for two months with terrible stomach pains, gases, and horrendous diarrhea every single day because of his negligence. My aunt was hospitalized for four days because of this same thing, so imagine how painful it would be to a newborn baby, especially after it persists without being treated for two months. She's on an aggressive round of antibiotics, and the rest of my household also has to be on aggressive antibiotics because we also have symptoms. She has suffered half of her life so far because of his arrogance and inability to listen to me. A mother knows when her child isn't feeling well. I knew something wasn't right, I told him this, yet he ignored my plea. Please, do not bring your child to this doctor. If you care for them, take them to a doctor that cares and wants to help. I would NOT recommend this doctor whatsoever.
