Timothy C. Samelson's Online Review Report Card

Great Pediatrician! My friend recommended Dr. Samelson to our family. Dr. Samelson is very knowledgable, articulate, professional, and very personable. Dr. Samelson is very good at explaining things in a way that parents can actually understand. As my son continues to develop, I already know what things to expect as Dr. Samelson explains what is to come and what things can occur month to month/week to week. The office environment is very comfortable and welcoming. Upon check-in, we get placed in the room immediately and do not have to wait. Dr. Samelson's staff nurse, Araceli, is very kind and treats our son with such care and attention. My husband and I feel blessed to have Dr. Samelson as our pediatrician.

Dr. Samelson is incredibly patient and kind—he takes as much time as needed to diagnose and treat his patients. He is wise and articulate, knowledgeable and professional. He looks at things from every angle and respectfully takes into consideration that a parent knows their child best. He truly listens. I am so grateful for his exceptional care.

Care so personalized and compassion so great, it’s like having a doctor who is part of our family! As a mother of seven, ages 7 to 25, I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the doctor’s office. My children’s health and well-being is important to me. I want a pediatrician who I can trust, who is honest and straightforward, good with my kids, and available when I need him. I want facts and details delivered in a way that I can understand, without feeling rushed. I found that with Dr. Samelson. JM

My friend recommended him to me. I'm very pleased with his service. He's very nice to my boy, very professional and pleasant. Takes his sweet time, office polite. And no waiting !!!! I'll recomend him to all my friends.

Best pediatrician ever ! Actually takes the time to listen to the patient

While Dr. Samelson has good patient manners I didn't feel rushed or pressured during the visit I did however get advise that I found to be a bit alarming. I feel my kids are normal I have a 3 year old who to me eats normal kid foods and dislikes veggies right now. I was advised to give her nothing but veggies at every meal and only offer her water till she eats. Was told that after a few days she would eat the veggies. Of course anyone would eat after a few days of nothing but water and not eating. Was also told that time outs were to be in plain boring spaces. I have limited space so we use her bed or a small desk that she sits at. Dr. Samelson informed me that was not timeout and that I needed to take 2 large pieces of furniture and the wall and trap her in a space. When I informed him I don't any such areas like that in my home for safety reasons I was told to lock her in a closet. My daughter is also a bit rebellious and has stranger danger so during the visit she wasn't fully participating. When asked to count for him she refused because she was drinking her juice. I asked her nicely if she could count and she wouldn't so he attempted to take her cup. She fought back and bit down. He forced open her mouth and ripped the cup from her placing it on the exam table stating. Mom wins. Obviously I gave it right back to her While he is friendly and informative his methodology on how to handle a childs behavior for me is just a bit to extreme. I believe in talking through situations and appropriate timeouts where they have to sit quietly and forcing her to eat veggies at age 3 just seems a bit to much. She's 3 and i'm sure will grow into other foods as she gets older and we continue to offer healthy choices to her.

He is a great doctor, so warm and caring as well as knowledge . He always has time for any questions or concerns.

Fantastic doctor - couldn't ask for anything more. We would highly recommend him.

Dr. Samuelson is an excellent pedestrian. We are new to parenting and we had so many questions. Dr. Samuelson Always answers all our questions and gives plenty of information and details we didn't knew or didn't even think of. He is never in a rush to go the next patients thus spending ample amount of time during our visits. My husband and I are very happy that we chose Dr. Samuelson. I would recommend Dr. Samuelson to everyone...
