Amazing all around staff. You can't go wrong bringing your child here. Both of my boys go here and we've never had a bad experience. For sick visits they are very accommodating as well.

Wonderful office and experience. I take my newborn son here and the front office staff is kind and professional, the nurses are warm and friendly, and our pediatrician Dr. Blasberg goes above and beyond to provide excellent care not only to my son but to us as new parents as well. The office is so quick and responsive to us as new parents and Dr. Blasberg makes us feel like his only patient with the time he devotes for all our questions and concerns. We are so happy we take our son here and can’t recommend highly enough!

The providers here are not honest about the potential risks associated with vaccines. My daughter had two terrible reactions after receiving two shots on seperate occasions. Doctor told me there was no chance it could be a reaction from the vaccines. I pulled the fda vaccine inserts up online, and come to find out, her symptoms were in fact listed as possible adverse reactions. This left a bad taste in my mouth. These doctors are so eager to inject every single shot into our babies, yet they are so dismissive of any negatives associated with doing so. Fast forward about one year, I had another baby. I brought her in for her first check in. I declined the Hep B vaccine at birth, because my daughter is not at risk for Hep B, therefore the risk to benefit doesn't add up for us. I chose not to put her at risk for any adverse reactions where there is literally a zero chance of being exposed to Hep B right now. This particular vaccine contains aluminum and formaldehyde. My newborn doesn't need those toxins in her little body. Dr. Hawthorn did not respect my informed decision, and decided to drop my precious one week old as a patient. My daughter has a genetic disease, so for them to drop her as a patient is utterly shameful. I have no respect for this practice now. Dr. Hawthorne proceeded to try and explain that there are "no risks associated with this particular vaccine". Well, that is VERY misleading and is in fact misinformation. There are risks, pretty severe ones too, including anaphylaxis, with symptoms including swelling of the mouth, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure or shock. These doctors either are not properly educated on vaccines, or they are blatantly lying to us parents about the true facts. This is not okay. Every single person is unique and medicine is not one size fits all. The government gives bonus money to practices and doctors who have high vaccination records , so it doesn't surprise me that these people are willing to drop vulnerable newborns as their patients over something so trivial such as a vaccine which poses NO benefit for my newborn in her current environment. It only poses RISK at the moment. I am disgusted in my experience. I do not appreciate being gas lit, I do not appreciate my valid concerns being ignored, and I definitely do not appreciate being lied to from an "expert" who is supposed to be the person I trust with my precious baby and her life. Thank Goodness I found an amazing practice, where the doctors are kind, understanding, professional, informative, and most importantly RESPECTFUL of parents decisions ! I guess this was a blessing in disguise!

Long story short, Doc orders bloodwork that has to be done in a lab offsite. I spoke with nurses twice prior to the appointment who ensured the orders were sent to the lab. I bring my one year old to the appointment and no paperwork so they can’t do it. They call Plymouth Pediatrics and can’t get through, repeatedly picking up the phone and hanging up. Super frustrating. I go to pick up the paperwork in person and tell the woman at the front desk the situation, she responds with “yeah they’re having some problems. I’m not in charge of that, it’s not my fault”. Brand new, beautiful building, with some incompetent staff.
