[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this thread is old but I wanted to see if impressions of McKnight have changed at all recently. We were originally really happy with the practice, but we just don't click with either McKnight or Washington. I feel like I can't get a straight answer out of either of them - it's all "on the one hand, on the other hand" until I finally said "I am not going to sue you. I slept 45 minutes last night, I just need you to tell me what you actually thinks is best." Also, and maybe I'm crazy or sensitive, but I feel this very faint undertone of racial tension there. Like I'm this neurotic over functioning white mom from a gentrifying area trying to join a predominately black practice. It feels uncomfortable sometimes. [/quote]

Been with the practice since 2015. Delivered at WHC and live within a short bus ride or a long walk, so we figured it would be more convenient to have DC's pediatrician nearby. We saw Workneh a few times before she left and we really liked her. I've seen McKnight on just about all our visits over the last year, and while I trust her experience, she seems to rely too heavily on the ASQ during routine well visits and delivers feedback with a whiff of judgment. Washington seems to always be on-call when something has come up after hours and has been responsive and helpful. We're not planning to find a new pediatrician, but I feel kind of meh about their practice.[/quote]
