Dr. Nicole Katherine Lauinger, MD

I would recommend Dr Lauinger, as other commented, she's a mom herself and will cover everything you want to know. She also always asks "What questions do you have?" which is great so we are always ready with our list. Though she must be busy, she does make time for us. What's best, she's very down to earth - she even came out and greeted us once in the reception area, not waiting for her nurse to do it. Her nurse Tiffany is super nice also!

We love Renton Pediatrics. Dr Lauinger has been our pediatrician for several years and our children really like her. She is a mom herself and offers alot of great advice to new parents. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asks!

We have been taking our son to Dr Lauinger for the past 4 years and feel she is an excellent doctor. Usually running on time. We appreciate that the clinic is open on Saturday's and Sunday's. Great clinic!

I have been taking my 3 children to Renton Pediatrics for the past 7 years. Dr Lauinger has always been there for us--taking the time to answer my questions when I was a first time mom and providing great care. I have no reservations about recommending the clinic to anyone who asks.

We use Dr. Lauinger as the pediatrician for both of our children. She provides wonderful care.

Very personable and easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend this doctor to others.

Terrible doctor...Don't trust her judgments

We chose this clinic after searching and meeting Dr. Nicole K. Lauinger while my wife was pregnant. She was friendly at first and became his primary dr. Soon after, she became the worst doctor ever. During his initial wellness exam, she diagnosed him as having "thrush" in his mouth. We were a bit surprised since he was feeding well and not showing any symptoms. We asked her if she was sure, and she was irritated when we we asked her that. She prescribed two medications and of course, we entrusted her and gave our son as she prescribed. The next 3-5 days were horrible. Our son became VERY ill, fussy, and started developing a rash all over his body and ears that pus was oozing out behind his ears. My wife said enough and we took him to another doctor/clinic for a second opinion. This doctor concluded that our son NEVER had thrush, just milk residue left on his tongue. He had an reaction to the medication she prescribed since he didn't have thrush and told us to stop immediately since it… was doing more harm to him. My wife and I decided to go back to see Dr. Lauinger two months later for a wellness appt and to let her know what happened. Throughout the appointment was horrible for us. She did not addressed our concerns properly, and answered it in a way that "well, you saw another dr., asked them." She was pretty rude and unprofessional. For a dr to not at least say she made mistake truly shows her true colors. We haven't been back since and will not recommend this clinic to anyone.
