[quote=Anonymous]Bumping this:

We live in DC and only went to CMG because family members who live nearby recommended it when we started having kids. Seriously considering leaving the practice for a variety of issues.

My main gripe is that our kids never see their main doctors, even during annual wellness visits or more frequent (but regular) visits for our baby. We have one child who has a summer birthday and they are constantly being shunted off to a random doctor because their annual visit coincides with summer vacation time. It is atrocious to never have any consistency. We've had cancelations by CMG and then they can't fit our child in!

We had a recent issue where our child was told to come back in because they needed another blood sample for testing. It took an hour wait to take a 5 minute blood sample. Further, a random doctor pops in and starts taking our kids' vitals, doing a checkup, then asks us "Do you want me to run any other tests?" Uh, what? It felt like they were just trying to add a doctor's visit to the bill when we were there merely so they could get another test sample from our kid.

There also seems to be no communication between the doctors and the PAs/nurses about what vaccines to provide or tests to run. We've now had a few visits where our kids were getting regular vaccinations + COVID or flu vax and the nurse had no idea which vaxxes she should be providing us. When I asked "Oh where's the COVID shot?" the nurse had no idea that our kid was getting one and then needs to wait another 15-20 minutes to get authorization from the doctor.

So yeah, any recommendations for pediatric practices closer to DC where my kids can actually see the same 1-2 medical providers every visit?

CMG has seemed to adopt the One Medical model of seeing whomever is available but without actually advertising that this is the model they use. [/quote]
