Advanced Pediatrics in Vienna

Thinking of switching to this practice since it's very close to home. What do you like or dislike about the practice? Do you have to wait a long time to get an appointment? Dr. Martin seems to be very popular in that practice but what about the other physicians and the nurse practitioners.

We have never in several years had trouble getting an appt. Almost no turnover with the doctors (actually none I can think of), seems very well run when we go. Even the nurses have stayed. Dr. Martin is the favorite, ours too. Dr. Yoo is also great. We saw Dr. S. once and he was also very good with an urgent issue, thorough, but not alarmist. Not sure about the NPs. Dr. Weaver was our least favorite, she just doesn't seem as knowledgeable, but maybe she has certain specialties. All providers are very nice and never act rushed. We used to have billing issues, but that has gotten much better. I'd recommend them.

We go there and have been happy. We usually see Dr. Schwartz, but have seen Dr. Yoo and Dr. Martin too. We have seen Dr. Weaver once and she was nice but I don't know her well. We have never had problems getting an appointment, and Dr. Schwartz diagnosed my child's condition where others might have ignored the warning signs.

The only docor we thought was fantastic was Dr. Weaver and she only worked evenings if I recall. We tried everyone there. Dr. Schwartz missed the boat with my child-turned out I was right after consulting with experts. Prefer not to go into detail, but it seems like he was not up to date on the latest research with the disorder my child has and he was arrogant on top of that. I thought the help nurses were always good. One or two of the nurses who would weigh kids, etc were grumpy, though there were nice ones too. We switched to another practice and have been very pleased.

We have been going there for two years now. I love Dr. Yoo but have had little interaction with Dr. Weaver or Dr. Schwartz. I also love the advice nurse on staff during the day. She's very friendly and takes her time to answer your questions. Haven't seen Dr. Martin but that's because I always choose Dr. Yoo when given the choice since she's the one with the most experience with my doctor.

We also see Dr. Yoo. Have only seen the others in "emergency" situations (as in, DD is going on her 4th day with x, should I bring her in...and I have never ever had them struggle to find me an appointment). I really like this practice, the nurse help line is great, and Dr. Yoo is simply wonderful. That being said, I do think that they tend to be a bit conservative in their advice. F/e: when DD was 1.5 and running a semi-high fever (102-103) with no apparent cause, they wanted to catheterize her to check for a UTI. I felt that was a bit extreme, and opted to wait. She turned out to be fine, and I was glad I held off, it just seemed like a painful and unnecessary procedure to put DD through, who was already feeling awful.

The LC they have on staff, Lauri, is phenomenal. She really helped me with nursing with DD (I had a lot of issues), and I'm planning on seeing her before having baby #3 in March to get a jump on things.

Are Saturday hours only for sick/urgent visits or can you schedule physicals/well child visits? Their website does not provide that information.
