Piedmont Physicians Pediatrics of Midtown Columbus

Dr.Vernon is a knowledgeable, so knowledgeable he knows the answers to the questions before you can complete the sentence. His listening skills are about 20%, and he is very dismissive.Dr. Vernon missed major growth matters concerning my child. I had to bring them to his attentionnHe didn't not catch it, if this issue was caught earlier and treated properly, my child wouldn't be going through a difficult time. Thanks Dr. Vernon

We have 2 children being seen here for almost a year now. We have seen both NPs and Dr. Vernon I believe and everyone has been great. The nurses have been gentle, kind and understanding to my children. I’ve never had a problem with the front office staff being rude and I have gotten stopped by the train coming in many times which made me a few minutes late but they have never given me a hard time. I have been able to get multiple same day appointments or book online the night before for a next day appointment without any trouble. We did wait a while for our initial visits because it was the middle of moving season and they had a ton of new patients but it was expected and they did their best to get us worked in before school started back.

I had a horrible experience in piedmont pediatric emergency and I won’t recommend this to anyone. My 2 year old child accidentally put tiny lego object in his nose and when we went to piedmont Pediatric ER immediately the doctor Rebecca Reamy and nurses tried removing the object immediately without knowledge and looking at where object actually is, my child was screaming badly. That horrible treatment placed the object deep inside and doctor carelessly told that object is not there in the nose, She said I promise you, you go home and relax. When we went home we found with torch light that object was still there in nose. We went back to ER again and told doctor that object is still there. Instead of apologizing Doctor carelessly used the words ‘Oh you found it, great, let’s try to remove again’ I asked doctor is it a game or fun? It was life or death situation because that object could have stopped breathing. She tried to remove 2nd time and then said ‘we can’t remove it. You need to see specialist in morning’ That was so ridiculous, the object was there inside nose. Doctors was so irresponsible. We as a parents had to go thru horrible stress whole night, we were not able sleep and next day morning we went to specialist and child had to go thru surgery because the object went little bit more inside due to careless treatment without knowledge. The specialist said good that you brought child here coz the object could have gone inside lungs and that careless doctor fromPiedmont’s ER told last night ‘you go and relax, even if the object is there it will come out in poop’ so ridiculous. Moreover now piedmont and the doctor is feeling they didn’t do anything wrong and they want me to pay for that ER visit which is insane and inhuman. Will never recommend piedmont pediatrics ER to anyone.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I was never able to get in to see an actual doctor because the staff were rude and unreliable. I filled out a medical release form & my child’s previous physician wasn’t able to fax the files over because Piedmont’s fax was out of order (as told to me via a Piedmont staff member). When I would call to follow up the staff were rude, nonchalant, & no help whatsoever. The MANAGER, Jessica, told me “They must not be doing their jobs. Idk what to tell you.” The UTMOST unprofessional doctor’s office that I’ve experienced. Would not recommend this place whatsoever.

Of course we miss Dr Flowers but the remaining staff are still awesome. The nurses make small talk with my kiddos just to make them more comfortable, I can always get an appointment pretty quickly (usually same day for sick visits). PA Brittany is sweet, understanding, and helpful. With 3 children I frequent this place more than I care to but in over 4 years we have never had a bad experience. Sick child/well child waiting areas, plenty of seating, wait time isn't often long.
