4. The wait to be seen is short. If you've been to other doctors, you know how important this is. At other doctors offices, I've waited for almost an hour after my scheduled appointment. The wait is never long at PCS.
2. When you call to make an appointment, you can pick any day of the week, you can choose from a bunch of locations, and you can even choose which provider you want your child to see.
Thanks!!
Dr. Pawlowski and Dr. Pioli handled the care of my daughter with care and expertise. We were seen the same day and were taken care of immediately and were explained everything about the diagnosis. We had to get xrays at another location and they reviewed them with me after stopping back in to ask some questions.
4 reasons I like Pediatric Care Specialists:
My son has been a patient at PCS for many years. He is a hockey player and we have our share of injuries to deal with. The doctors and practitioners have always been caring, precise and accomodating . We are very please with everything and he hopes to remain a patient there until he is out of college, and hockey.
1. I live in Altoona which is about an hour from their main office, but they have a location in Ebensburg too which is only about 20 minutes away. This is a BIG plus. Your child gets professional, experienced care without a long drive.
No matter when I show up they are at least an hour late. " Make sure you show up at least 15 minutes early. " My appointment was for 4:15. I arrived at 4:00...I am still waiting and it is 4:50. I understand other patients need a little extra time and patience. However, this is unacceptable.
The meds were prescribed and my daughter was on her way to a quick and easy recovery.
3. They can almost always get your child seen the same day you call. This is much better than the other pediatricians in the area with whom you have to book an appointment days in advance.
I've been taking my son, Aydin, here since we moved to the area and he was only 5 months old. This place is great! We've never had a negative experience! I've had my son in for check-ups and emergencies at different times and every time I called, I was given the choice of which doctor I wanted to see. The staff is always courteous and helpful. My son had a terrible cough one time and I was afraid it was something serious... I remember that they got us in right away. When the doctor came in, he recognized right away that it was a bad case of croup. They even gave him the medicine for it right there in the office and said he would be better within 4 hours... 1 hour later, he was SO much better. I was so glad that we go to this office where the doctors know what they're doing! I would (and do) recommend this office to anyone who has kids and wants a place with knowledgeable doctors and professional, friendly staff. Oh, and the nurses on the helpline go above and beyond - after being referred to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh (which was also a great place!), we were having trouble getting ahold of the right department at the hospital. So I called PCS and talked to a nurse (Jennifer or Jenny?) and she not only looked up the right number, but she called me AFTER HOURS just to make sure I got through! Great service all around :)
