Best Child Health Care Centre Springfield Near Me

Kyle Tomc: My pregnant wife and I have been waiting for a strep test in the waiting room for 4 hours. She is shivering in pain, we are worried about the baby, and we cannot get anyone to help. I don’t blame the people on the floor, the administration NEEDS to understand how short staffed they are on a regular Tuesday evening. We will not be using this urgent care again.

Megan Imhof: 0 starsDO NOT GO TO THE ADULT URGENT CARE HERE. While staff seems friendly they do not listen or care about their patients. I went in on Monday to be treated. On top of the antibiotics they prescribed, I mentioned I could use specific OTC product. The Dr told me to go ahead and take it. Throughout the week my symptoms got WORSE (not better) enough that I was dumb enough to return to these people on Friday. The SAME doctor informed me that the OTC medicine she encouraged me to take 4 days before would make things worse, not better and that she’d prescribe me something else (this all would have been nice to know on Monday). So I’m in 10x more pain than I was.The nursing staff is also very rude here and will talk down to you. Horrible horrible experience.

Karina Smeltz (M): My boyfriend Alec came here today and said Doctor Scott Dooley was great and was very kind and caring! He cared about my health and answered all my questions !

Jonathan Hammerschmidt: Nothing “Urgent” about it. Waited for two hours only to never be seen, and they asked me to sign an AMA even though no medical advice was given.Also, for another visit when they did actually see me they billed it as an $8700 ER visit. Go to an actual “urgent care” if you need to be seen and not charged an obscene amount.Edit: since this review they have renamed it “Urgent Care Plus”, probably to avoid a lawsuit from all of the people that they misled into believing this was just an “urgent care” facility.Only go here if you absolutely must, otherwise just go to the ER.

Mary Antonniette Policher: Had some bad flu, went to urgent care at 9pm, finished at 3am. Few of their staffs said I had to wait another hour (until 4am) for the xray and there's no option to view results online. Then one of the staff said there is, then when I signed the paper to leave early so I can just go check the results online, the staff who made me sign had no idea about it. Every time someone comes in and out of the door, you wait 30+ mins for someone to come back and continue the process. It's so inefficient. I spent almost 6 hrs there and 5.5hr is just purely waiting. People pop in and out with long intervals. Worst experience especially when you're already sick. Never again.

Mahala Jennings: The RN was great, as well as the night time xray tech. NP Crystal was very cold, unfriendly, and dismissive. Literally go anywhere else. Even a veterinarian would be better.

Halie Schultz: If there was a 0 star rating that's exactly what they would get. My son was seen two days in a row and the first day he got a splint put on his arm/wrist and he had an allergic reaction to it so we took him back and they took it off and we brought a brace with us that fit him because the ones they tried on yesterday didn't fit him properly and now today apparently those aren't even used for this type of injury but the only reason it wasn't used the first time was due to it not fitting him right. This dr today Diana Roe didn't do one thing for him wouldn't even acknowledge his allergic reaction or that the fiberglass splint they put him in caused it. She didn't even look at him instead she just told me that he's gonna be evaluated from sports medicine so the sling will be the only option today. Mind you he's not suppose to be able to move his wrist freely and in the sling he can. He's literally 3 years old! This place is a joke! I will be contacting others to make a complaint as well! This is uncalled for and if his injury gets worse because of them this momma will not be happy!

Shayne Walker: We have currently been sitting in the waiting room for two hours. There were about 5 other patients when we got here. They are seeing about one person every half hour. There are three nurses sitting and gossping at the counter. Best case scenario we have another hour before we are being seen. We came in because one of us has heavy bleeding.

Felix Cat: Worst care I have ever seen was here for two hours!!! And the service was trash had an appointment for 3 pm with medical ride had to stay over night because there was no doctor..... Mercy is the way to go if u don't want to die ..... Told them five time I had to be outta of here by five ..... Was not able to make it home

Kayla: Had a terrible experience here at the Pediatric Urgent care, had an incident with my 8 month and wanted to make sure he was okay. The whole vibe there was terrible, felt very judged and was being treated like I didn’t know how to take care of my son. A day later CPS showed up, who I have no doubt was called by the doctor/NP he was seen by. They were trying to say he was immobile (like as if he’s far behind not meeting his goals and I don’t take care of him) like we were there for a reason and of course he wasn’t able to move as much because he was sore and I made that very clear that he wasn’t acting like himself and is usually super active. The CPS person was even confused why they were even sent, so for the doctor or nurse who filed the report just know my son is VERY well taken care of and has a CRIB and EVERYTHING he needs with TWO parents who take care of him & love him very much.You’d think the place would have people who are passionate about their jobs while working with kids but this urgent care didn’t feel like that one bit, I will not be returning here to this urgent care ever again for my son.On the other hand the ED was amazing to my son once we got transferred to get X-rays done, we loved his nurse & all the girls who helped! They were all super sweet and the doctor we seen that day was super reassuring and awesome. He understood what we were going through, we didn’t feel judged one bit.

Nicholas Osborn: This place is awesome. Sometimes wait times can be a little long especially depending on time of day but that is the current state of all emergency based healthcare especially in times of high Illness (flu/rsv/etc). The staff really hustle and they really are quite efficient considering the sheer volume they handle on a daily basis. Thanks to Dr Winston for making my trip a speedy one.

D Dave: The staff courtesy is the only thing getting them 3 stars. Multiple days of coughing and fatigue, and even when I mentioned I had coughed up blood, no offer of even doing chest radiographs. When my respiratory panel came back negative, I was offered antibiotics, without even a sputum culture or any other diagnostics to get to the bottom of the issue, and to continue doing the ibuprofen, Tylenol, and mucinex I was already taking on my own. As both myself and my husband work in the medical field, I was very underwhelmed.

Kristi: Although my wait time was very long (6 hours from walking in the door until discharge), the doctor I saw was excellent. He was caring and compassionate and took the time to hear what I had to say and he truly wanted to help, explaining his recommendations thoroughly. Truly an answer to prayers that I would see someone who cared! Thank you Dr. Pharris.

Daniel Funk: This is the worst place to go for any clinic need's. I went for an eye injury pretty big deal causing lots of pain. They told me would be right with me. Two hour's later i started to get a little impatient only to be told it would be another five hour wait that people where sicker than me. Well of course i came with an eye injury im not sick. Looked around there was maybe five people total waiting when they said they had 11. I asked if i could go home and them call me they said no. After i left i find out you can save a spot online from home hmm how funny. The staff working there tonight dec 1 to dec 2 night shift has no clue about the save a spot or doing any of that or how to guide people to do it. They will lie seat you down and make you wait hours my wait was seven hours total for an eye injury needs cleaned out still. I have to wait over night till another clinic open's no reason to sleep outaide in mycar when i can sleep at home and wake up and go to clinic who will actually help me!. I will be contacting hr or any other higher up's i can tomorrow about this seven hour wait or longer. Pretty much saying when there is no one else sicker than me they would see me.

Lilli Parrow: I’ve only taken my son here twice in 12 years. Both times, I wish I wouldn’t had wasted the gas. When he was only 11 months old, I felt the NP practically forced a flu vaccine on him, when he was already very sick. His PCP wasn’t even thru Cox. In hindsight, I should’ve stuck to my instincts. Came there to get help for a sick baby, ended up having an adverse reaction to the vaccine and made him much worse. Today, was Thanksgiving, and being a nurse myself I do thank all healthcare workers and staff that give up their holidays to serve others. But it was PACKED, all very sick kids. Before I checked my son in, I informed the lady at the front desk he was having chest pain and needed access to the cardiac equipment, so I asked her if I needed to go to the ER. She assured me that we did not. We tried to find a place to sit and the only place open had dirty, used basins full of emesis and trash everywhere. I went ahead and cleaned up that mess, before my son almost went unconscious. I asked for some further assistance, received none, but she wanted me to wait to get him help, elsewhere, to sign paperwork. I understand that’s her job. Maybe she’s not allowed to leave her seat to clean up throw up from the previous patients or maybe she was unaware. She appeared to be very complacent and annoyed about having to be there, at all. I know if we’d had waited on their time, my son would’ve felt too horrible to stay. It would’ve been AT LEAST a 5 hour wait so that he could just lay down. Thank God, for good ol’ Cox North.

Neka Parker: Very Unprofessional Establishment, On 11/20/22 Went in For a SevereEar infection, + Q-tip Broke off in my ear. Ive had Cronic ear infections over (past 6 Months) They was Unable to Get it with Tweezers (didn't even try) Said we definitely see it , and it was to far in my ear OK. So proceeded to Flush it out w the Saline Solution did not come out. Took a culture, was suspose to get referred to a ENT after culture Results came back, waiting DAY 3 with a Staff infection ON-GOING in my ear Still have not gotten a referral. Called Multiple times, talked to a Nurse Named Julie- said oh use the drops it will go just around the q-tip. I'm Not a Nurse but Absolutely NOT! I'm Really at a loss for words, just baffled they would say that..I Spoke to a ENT 5 Star Rating on 11/21/22 Who Said it was VERY Concerning that they would put the water/Saline in my ear with the cotton bud Stuck that Cotton Expands.+with infection Said Call right now and get the Referral it's a Medical Emergency and Needs Attention to Remove before it turns into something Bad. They said they could take me ASAP on 11/21/22 Still NO Referral on DAY 3! I Still Have It Stuck in My Ear and Solution made it worse! Will be Reporting to STATE BOARD, and Escalate this issue to the Fullest. Not how any patient should be treated. Dr. I Seen was Dr. Phillip Kelchen. I will be Disputing this Visit too! Hence the Terrible Star Rateings

Maya Weitz: Don't bring your kiddo here if you don't want to wait 3 hours to be seen. I used Save my Spot and still waited 2 hours in the waiting room. When my child and I were finally brought back to a room, we waited another hour to even be seen by a physician. It's a waste of your time. Don't come here unless you have no other option.

Talor Lafferty: Worst walk-in clinic experience ever!! I do not recommend this place to anyone! Dr had the worst bedside manor ever!! Lauren Grover left my urine in the bathroom unlabeled and I had to track down a different nurse to put a label on it to be tested. Who ever the MD was diagnosed me with a pulled muscle after having flu symptoms all weekend!

katlcol: I am from Oklahoma and I had a medical emergency, from breaking my arm, ambulance and I was brought to Cox Health South. From the ambulance to the er and being admitted and surgery and being discharged, I received excellent care. They treated me like I was important! The care, the love, the understanding and prayers pulled me through this traumatic time. Thank you Cox Health Hospital. 💘 ❤

Eric Weiskopf: Quick handling at front desk, triage, x-ray and time with Nurse Practitioner.

Kathy Bonilla: I will never go anywhere else as long as I am in the area. Best hospital for my kids ✝️💙

Devon Davis: Thank you to everyone on Floor 7 in the Peds unit for taking such good care of my boy! The nurses, the child life specialists, the ortho surgeon, the anesthesiologists... they were all amazing! 🙏❤

dan lu: This is a good hospital and they are always so friendly and kind

Joshua: Baby had great surgeon and all staff put in 110%. Thanks

Samantha Woods: Dr.Caffey saved my son's life with vigorously giving him mouth to mouth resuscitation. Couple days after birth. Staff is wonderful.

Paul Cox: Three hour wait in the emergency room. Unbelievable. Hope your child doesn't get sick in Springfield. 5 hours and counting for a routine visit.

Anakin Pranger: My friend had started working here and while in training, was constantly snapped on by another teacher beside her own trainer and was point blank fired in a week for very petty and poorly explained reasons. They told her to "she and her daughter needed to leave now."

Amber Bailey: I honestly have nothing negative to say about Mighty Marvels. The entire staff is so kind and interactive with every kid. My daughter loves this school, and I am incredibly impressed with how accommodating they are for the parents. All of the teachers make a point to get to know the children, and rhey make everyone feel so welcome. They are structured, but also allow the kids to play and have fun. It was a battle to get my child to go to daycare, until we found mighty marvels. Highly recommend!

Sydney Daniels: I cannot say enough good things about MMAA! Their director is amazing! She is so friendly! You will always see her walking around the campus and talking with parents and the girls working. She is very, very involved.The girls in the NB classroom are absolutely fantastic! They truly love the kids they watch and helped put this new mom at ease, knowing my boy was in good hands! They do weekly actives and are very involved in your child’s daily activities and playtime! They use the Brightwheel app which is absolutely amazing for parents to see your child’s activities throughout the day. If you’re lucky enough to be apart of the MMAA family, you won’t be disappointed!

Ashlyn Rippe: My daughter started going here back in late January. We absolutely love it. The teachers, director and assistant director as well as the owners treat everyone like family. My daughter goes into her classroom straight to her teachers without any trouble. She enjoys her days here. I could not ask for a better place for my baby to go while I work. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone.

Chris Dowdle: My son has went here for over a year and I love it! They communicate well, have fair pricing and do fun stuff with the kids.

Matthew Suarez: My daughter has been going to Mighty Marvels since they opened. We could not have picked a better place for her to go. The staff is phenomenal. They really care about the kids and it shows - my daughter adores them. If you are looking for childcare, I would at least give them a call and take a tour - you won't be disappointed.

Moriah Bennett: I love how much they love my kids. I love the teachers, the director, and the owner! They even learned how to cloth diaper so we could keep my youngest in cloth diapers! Their rate is reasonable and I couldn't ask for a better daycare/preschool for my kiddos.

Melissa Thomas: Awesome people! Would highly recommend for those looking for a great daycare.

Lindsey Janson: Great place for my boys! Leeann and Tiffany are great! Highly recommended!

melissa spurlock: Such a great place for the grandbabies to learn and be safe

Ashley Anderson: St. Jude's has been such a blessing to our family. The staff & facilities are warm and welcoming. All the nurses and doctors have taken such great care of our kids. We are forever grateful to everyone who works at St. Jude's as well as all the donors who have been charitable to so many kids in need.

aaron childers: Very nice

marcia simpson: This co is where I work and good place to work for

Andrea Johnson: Love work there

Bryan Radford: Have helped people for years.

Melissa Doby: The people at Preferred have helped me so much. They've learned who I am in order to help me succeed.

TMarie: The staff is amazing! It feels like visiting with family, rather than going to the Dr. The Drs are knowledgeable and actually listen to you and your concerns. 100% recommended.

Annalise Ansley: Completely different experience than a traditional doctor's office. It felt warm and welcoming. I feel they truly have my best interest in mind and don't just take a one size fits all approach. They spend the time to answer your questions. There was also no wait. I'll recommend it to everyone!

Brooke Yeager: All staff have been amazing with each visit. My daughter had surgery in St.Louis at 10 months old and although they weren’t physically with us it was like they were holding our hands the whole journey ❤️

Morgan Gregory: Elyssa and her team are amazing! They listen and acknowledge the patient’s concerns, address all issues without rushing, and don’t just treat symptoms. We are thankful for their holistic approach and caring about the whole child.

K Bart: I love the way they listen to my thoughts and feelings and apply medical wisdom to the situation. They take into account a natural way to heal the problem first. If they don’t know the answer right away they research it and get back to you. I love that!

Krystena Wiener: I took both of my children to see Elyssa in July. It was a great experience. Family Birth and Wellness and now My Healthy Kids always exceeds my expectations. They are loving and kind and truly patient center. They spend the time to talk to you and answer any questions you. They value your input on your child’s care. I would highly recommend My Healthy Kids to any parent!

lyudmila Gavrilyuk: We love My Healthy Kids! We delivered at the family birthing center and had an amazing experience and decided to keep our kids in the same environment for our care! The practitioner was very kind and cared for our concerns and didn’t judge our intentions or parenting. She was also very helpful in answering our questions and helped us find an office to resolve tongue tie. I love the aspect of more natural care for my kids. I would recommend My Healthy kids to all my friends!

Joanna Ueland Walsh: I would totally recommend MHK! They were able to get my son in for a sick visit the same day and were super helpful and knowledgeable about natural and traditional medicine options I could do for him and what he was dealing with! We decided on a care plan that included a combination of both and it was perfect for him! Everyone at the office goes above and beyond for each patient!

Taylor & Eli Baker: We love Family Birth & Wellness and we love My Healthy Kids, they are the best around. The staff really cares about their patients. They offer a more natural approach to healthcare and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

Tiffany Burroughs: My Healthy Kids is a fantastic pediatric branch of the Family Birth and Wellness clinic! Our experience with Elyssa was wonderful - we will definitely be back!

Jina Gorham: Anything attached to or affiliated with Family Birth & Wellness is top notch in my book. The level of genuine care and concern is unmatched. This team is so friendly and professional, they made me feel more like family than a patient. I love the holistic approach while recognizing/balancing the need for traditional medicine when it’s necessary. I absolutely trust this team with my whole heart. Try them. You’ll be happy you did.

Natassia Lopez: I took my daughter to have her checked out for a sick visit this afternoon, and it was SUCH a good experience! The Nurse Practitioner was so patient with her and included my son in the process. And then explained all the natural options to help fight off whatever virus she’s got.The whole process was smooth and comfortable. She worked around me nursing my daughter and took the time to explain why she thought it was viral/allergy and not an infection and then didn’t make me feel like I was annoying her or taking too much time when I asked more questions. It was like having midwifery care for my kids!

Cassie Duckett: Wonderful clinic! We have had outstanding care every single visit. Highly recommended.

Angela: Dr. McCaig and his NP Tanya are amazing. We refuse to go anywhere else. The entire staff is so helpful and you can tell they care.

Brenna Singleton: I cannot say enough great things about this office. We switched to them a year ago due to an insurance change and it has been a huge blessing. It is very easy to get an appointment (day of) and you usually wait 10 minutes or less to see your provider. We have Dr. Hampton and have also seen Dr. Hearty and both NPs… all have been great. Dr. Hampton is kind, understanding, has a calming presence, and is great with my kids. My nephew has Dr. McCaig and they rave about him as well. At our former office, I didn’t feel as comfortable about bringing my kids in when I was concerned and I felt unheard at times. This office is 100% the opposite… I feel like they want us to heir on the side of caution and bring our kiddos in so that we can make sure all is good. I was told today, in a kind/polite way, “not to wait so long to bring him in next time ” because I was obviously worried. Such a breath of fresh air! The only negatives I have found so far are that they technically aren’t “associated with Cox” so you cannot pay bills online (have to call and pay over the phone or mail in payment) and they don’t have messaging portals like other Cox offices do. Personally, I would stick with this office any day over those conveniences. I feel extra thankful for them every time we go in! Thank you, Pediatric Associates!

Jim Coker: We have taken our twin daughters to Pediatric Associates for 14 years. The providers are top notch professionals who we have entrusted with the care of two daughters.

Stephanie King: Dr Hampton is the best!!! She listened, when others didn't, and helped find my son's brain tumor. He's now 18 and still not wanting to leave his favorite ped dr.

Tiffany Brandell: We have had a few doctors within this clinic, and McCaig is our favorite so far. The clinic does not take issue with wanting to switch doctors within their office, which is nice in determining who is the best fit for your family. The staff have always been amazing in letting us know what they need and helping us with and medications over the years. I would give them 5 stars, but they do not have things set up to be able to pay your bills online. You have to mail a check or call them, which is quite behind the times.

Beth Howard: Called to verify they were accepting new patients. They are.Was told that my kids can’t be seen because they haven’t had yearly well visits up to this point. When I inquired more about the reason why this was an issue, the person on the phone couldn’t tell me. They weren’t concerned about a lack of medical history or the fact that we may not continue well visits in the future, just a hard “no, the doctors won’t accept them as patients.”Good information to include on your website to save people a phone call.

Paige Johnson: Dr. McCaig is amazing but so is everyone else there! They are great at calling back and putting your baby first!

Sally Burky: Dr McCaig and his entire staff are so caring and personable, they are time efficient without making you feel rushed. We have also seen Dr. Hearty after hours and she was so kind.

Susie Rupp: Dr. Rupp has a very professional and patient demeanor. He is kind and great with families.

SAMANTHA WILLIAMS: We are very pleased with the Drs and staff

Amanda Dean: I have never had a more careless and rude experience with a nurse or whatever she is, who I talked to on the phone.

Ben Thorne: They have a great staff and are always so good with our girls. Plus daily triage appointments in the morning. Awesome.

Heather Horsch: They were great with the kids and the staff was awesome to work with.

Robin Lapierre: Dr. Sears is an excellent Dr I would recommend her to anyone!

Justin Leinaweaver: After three wellness visits I can happily recommend Dr. Sears. Besides just being a lovely person, she's patiently answered our innumerable questions and I especially appreciate her invocation of the academic literature when discussing the answers. The staff has also been excellent.

A Robert: Our experience while taking our kids there was ok. They aren't extremely enthusiastic about seeing kids, which is a bit confusing. When my son turned two, we decided to switch them to our family doctor so we could all be seen by the same one. Also so they could be excited about going to the doctor. Our family doctor does all of the normal well-checks for kids, while having a great attitude. In the middle of switching, my youngest got really sick, but because they were upset about us switching, they refused to see him. I guess I don't understand why they can do this considering the kids were a month out from having their first official appointment with the "new" doctor. I guess the only thing we have left to do is take him to urgent care, which is what they always wanted us to avoid. We are definitely happy to be leaving know. It's almost as if they have a sore loser type of attitude about it. That's definitely not a way to get old patients to refer your name.
