I always have a good experience when I take my kids to this office. It amazes me how well this office is run. The staff and providers are always professional. The environment is neat. I almost always get a same day appointment when needed. This is the best pediatric office I've ever taken my children to. I highly recommend this office to any parent. Keep up the good work!

We had a 2 hour visit then didn't have what we needed when it came time for shots. We weren't sent to a different location for the shots. When we arrived they didn't know we were coming then worked us in and had a long wait because they had to get to go because the shots had to be logged

We love Dr. Boekhaus and all of the providers that have seen our daughter. The only feedback we would give for the practice as a whole is just to make the practice actually seem more kid friendly. It doesn't ... it seems like a normal doctor's office for adults, but could use some kids activities in the waiting room, or things like that, that make the kids feel loved and special. So, that's the only feedback that I would give to the practice. But overall, we're pleased with the service and the providers that have seen our daughter. Thank you.

Getting an appointment was difficult to get, even trying to get another appt in November the "schedule isn't out" so I can't book anything. We moved and can't transfer to another practice closer to us, they told us they aren't accepting new patients even though we've been with Wellstar pediatrics for 16 years. Getting a nurse appt for a follow up shot you have to call the week before to see which office the nurse is at. That's just plain difficult!! I love the doctors but don't love the office procedures.

The front office staff (both check in and check out) were rude and not attentive at all. When I approached the desk I was not greeted, they did not ask to make sure I had everything I needed or if I needed to schedule a follow up. I was also asked to sign something at check in without being informed what I was signing. The medical assistant and doctor were great!
