Mark Addison Md's Online Review Report Card

I have been a patient for 10 years. My son was placed on a medication that I have to call each month to have refilled. It requires multiple telephone calls to the office (sometimes 12 telephone calls). I never wait until the last minute. His staff isn't very nice. The simple call for a prescription gets drug out and delayed. His staff is very rude and unconcerned about getting a simple prescription called in. I have wasted so much time that during my hold time...I decided that we need a doctor that has a more considerate office. Very disappointing that a pediatrician has no concern for his loyal patients.

We have never been in to see Dr. Addison, and not had to wait at least an hour past our appointment time, more commonly ninety minutes or more. That's when you can even get in to see the doc himself. We have continued to use this office for five years, because Dr. Addison seems very knowledgeable, and comes highly recommended by many, but today we walked out, and wont be back. The nurse that came in to speak with us was quite abrasive. She came in and was asking us yes or no questions from a quetionare, and some seemed to us to need more than a yes or no answer which seemed to frustrate her. After the questionnaire she said ,"so we'll be getting him on medication today." I informed her that we wanted mediation to be the last resort to which she quickly responded well thats probably gonna be what he needs. Her tone was not very polite though this entire interaction. This specific visit was for consultation, and potential diagnosis of ADHD for my son. He had not even received a diagnosis, or even seen the Doctor before they were asking us which pharmacy to send his prescription to. Between the condescending tone of the nurse, and waiting for who knows how long before seeing the doctor (I don't know how long because after waiting for over an hour an a half we walked out) this was a very poor experience. The front desk was very polite, and helpful providing me the release paper needed to transfer is records to a new pediatrician.

Dr. Addison is a good practitioner but his office staff and ability to keep accurate records are absolutely unacceptable. Rude staff and front office.

Dr. Addison saved my first born when no one else (other doctors and medical staff) would listen to me when knew there was something wrong with her. He admitted her and reported the negligence of the ER doctors and staff. That was 14 years ago. He is now my others children’s doctor. He listens to all my concerns and worries. He comes up with treatment plans (if needed) and talks me through everything and makes sure I understand completely. He answers all my questions and is very patient throughout the whole visit which can take up to over 45 mins with my 6 children (ages 8m-14y) all at once. Bless him. He is very knowledgeable and respects my religious and parental views. He’s funny and makes jokes with the kids. His nurses are very sweet and understanding as well. Some visits can take a bit to get to the back but I believe it because he’s very thorough with all this patients and patient’s parents.

I can not attest to the Doctor himself, his bedside manners or practice as my son and I never got that far. He should however fire his front desk staff as they are absolutely the most rude and condescending women I have ever had the displeasure of attempting to talk with. I feel immensely sorry for Dr. Addison as I'm sure he is a wonderful doctor and has most likely lost many other potential patients because of the horribly rude person(s) he has answering phones and representing the clinic.

Great Dr and aND great sTAFF

I love this man he was my doctor and is my kids . I will not use another he is the best

Dr. Addison does not respect his patients or their time. He expects patients to be on time and was outside patient rooms complaining about a patient being 5 minutes late. However I arrived 5 mins early for my 9:45 appt, and at 11:30 Dr Addison STILL had not come in to see my child!! I had to leave. I could not respect a "professional" who does not respect his patients/clients. Also as I was explaining to the very sweat nurse why we were leaving she simply replied, "yea, that's Dr. Addison."

In 2011 my son was dr Addison patient my son was very sick he was dying in the hospital we were in the hospital he told me if he started dying to shake his stomach me and my mom asked for a hear monitor to use st my home so I could be safe several days later he passed away

He is a decent doctor however the nurse practitioner and her nurse in the practice are very rude and have no compassion or understanding and told me to force a medicine down my child's throat because they were not calling her a different medicine in. They had no understanding for the fact that she had already caused her self to throw up on me 3 times and had spit it out twice and we did not have enough left to get rid of her strep throat.
