Dr. Tammy Meehan, MD

Dr. Meehan was friendly, nice, and answered most of our concerns. She made us feel comfortable. I personally do not treat doctors as though they are saints, they are not... and it takes more than 1 time to find out if something works or not. We live in a free country, we hire these doctors to do their job and if we feel we are dissatisfied we can fire them and acquire another one. But so far, I like Dr. Meehan because first time seeing her, I felt a connection. Keep up the great work and thank YOU for doing what you do, Dr. Meehan.

Dr. Tammy Meehan's first impression is she is down to earth, relates to teenagers and is going to be a great partner in your child's health. If you only need a doctor to sign your athletic eligibility forms then she is the doctor for you. If you think you might have a medical emergency with your child and need a dependable doctor that will actually return your calls then look elsewhere. In 11 months we have had two trips to the emergency room. We have needed guidance the next day after checking out of the ER. Sadly, both days in the ER were on Thursdays, called Dr. Meehan first thing on Friday morning, called back twice more during the day with staff telling me she returns calls after clinical. No call back, call the office at 4:50 and am told, " Dr. Meehan has left for the day, no doctors available but you can talk to a nurse." So now it is Friday at 5:00, I have waited all day to hear back from my child's doctor and have not heard back, it is too late to get assistance from… anyone else until Monday, unless we go back to the ER where we already were with Physician Assistants who don't answer the questions we need answers to. I told the receptionist to have Dr. Meehan call my cell, 10:00 pm on Friday night 5 hours since I made that request, and 14 hours since I faxed over the information and made my first phone call requesting she call. We will be finding a new doctor on Monday. Dr. Tammy Meehan should be avoided at all costs, run the other way.

My child's former pediatrician left the practice and Dr. Meehan became her doctor. My plan was to go to her for the one year checkup and then find another doctor closer to our home. However, I was so impressed with Dr. Meehan that we continue to see her and my child is now six. I have two grown children and thought a third would be a breeze, but not so. Dr. Meehan has been extremely helpful with our issues. She takes time with us and I feel that she actually knows us, which is something I hadn't experienced before. We will continue to see her as long as possible.

Dr. Meehan has been my children's pediatrician since we moved to the area several years ago. I have always been pleased with the way she approaches our appointments. I never feel like she's just checking boxes off a list and moving on; she spends as much time as necessary, engaging in conversation and answering all my questions and concerns. Recently my daughter developed a serious infection, and thanks to Dr. Meehan's quick diagnosis and treatment, we were able to avoid a lengthy hospital stay. Really like this doctor.

Dr. Meehan now practices at the Polyclinic in Seattle, Washington. She seemed great at first, simultaneously relaxed and perky. So I trusted her when she repeatedly assured me that my newborn's near constant screams and discomfort were normal ("babies get gas") despite repeated visits. She told me she had babies with pneumonia and other serious conditions in the office, referred me to a lactation specialist for a milk supply problem I didn't have, made me feel like I was crazy (something along the lines of "you're trying to be super mom and just stressing yourself out"), and hurried out of the room, time after time. I even asked if my baby could have a milk protein allergy, and she said no, because babies with that allergy always have blood in their stool which is TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY MEDICALLY WRONG. Meanwhile, my daughter continued to fail to gain weight and writhe in pain. Against Dr. Meehan's wishes, I consulted a GI specialist. My daughter was diagnosed with a milk… protein allergy, a hole in her diaphragm that required surgery, dysphagia, general GI motility issues, and reflux disease. She required tube feeding until after her first birthday, thanks in large part to the late diagnosis. Do not trust this woman with your child's health and future.
