[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend had a bad experience at McLean pediatrics about a yea ago. I just checked their reviews online...

In my experience, Yelp is like the worst place to get advise on medical practices and car repair shops. The reviewers do not seem to have representative experiences at all. Check out your favorite provider and see what Yelp has to say about them, then let me know if you think it's a reasonable assessment of the practice. But, to address the issues raised on Yelp -

Is your friend the one who wanted a same day sick visit but was a new patient? They prioritize seeing sick patients the same day but if you're not already an established patient, it's more difficult to squeeze them in same day. I doubt this is specific to McLean. Regarding the decor - it's true, the office is very plain. That's not important to us though - bring your own toys, less disease spreads that way.

We see Dr Thiede and she is our favorite. She is rather matter of fact and has children of her own so she isn't going to be shocked by the cuteness of your baby, but I guess whether that bothers you is just a personality thing. And then the comments about the nurses - don't know what to say, we've never had that problem. We usually get the male nurse and he's super friendly, very hygienic, and is rapid quick with the shots so we can get them over with.

The OP asked about holistic pediatric offices that accept insurance and all the natural, home-birthy, alternative vaccine schedule families I'm friends with go to McLean and are very pleased.
