Kristine N Liberty's Online Review Report Card

I wouldn’t recommend her. If it’s not an easy patient, it’s not her thing.

We recently switched from the pediatrician my daughter had been with since birth because we moved. I saw that this practice was highly rated and was impressed with Dr. Kovar's credentials. Our first visit was quite underwhelming. We are used to seeing the an actual physician during our visits, but this was not the case. We saw a physician's assistant. Now I am aware that most physician's assistants are highly qualified medical professionals, and this may have been acceptable had it been an emergency sick visit but it was not. It was my daughter's 15 month check up and our FIRST appointment at the practice. You would think they would want to make a good first impression and spare an actual physician. What's more, the PA could not have been more disengaged. She made no attempt to connect with my daughter, made very little eye contact with me and seemed generally uninterested. Fast forward to last week when I had my first encounter with a Kids First Pediatrics physician. My daughter was experiencing vomiting and diarrhea the night before we were to take a three hour plane ride to Florida for the holidays. We had been up all night and finally around 2am I decided to call the practice to see if the on call physician could provide some guidance. I was contacted by Dr. Kristine Liberty. While explaining my daughter's symptoms, I just happened to mention that in addition to the vomiting and diarrhea, she had also developed inflamed red bumps on her genitals. Her response, and I quote, was, "...so you're calling me in the middle of the night about a diaper rash?" I quickly "apologized" for bothering her and hung up. Needless to say we are in the process of switching pediatricians.

Dr. Liberty and staff are wonderful at Kids First Pediatrics. I never feel rushed or silly for calling with questions. She provides comprehensive care and gives me peace of mind. Keep up the great work!!

Felt very comfortable with the doctor and office staff.

I have been with Dr. Liberty for a long time that was until they over billed me. I have tried several time to get the matter fix but the staff is very rude. The Drs are great but the staff and billing are terrible.

Doctors Liberty and Kovar are both wonderful, calm and reassuring providers. They take their time with patients and answer questions fully. Dr. Liberty has seen my daughter since birth and has always been a joy to work with. We've seen Dr. Kovar 1-2 times and he was very pleasant and my daughter seemed to feel at ease with him. My only complaints are with the staff- I've called only a few times with questions for the nursing staff and have received incomplete and inaccurate information from them, specifically regarding breastfeeding. I'd love to see the staff get more education on breastfeeding and to stop automatically asking "What kind of formula..." I feed my child. The office used to be alternative vax schedule friendly but has since changed their position- I followed the standard vax schedule so this wasn't an issue for me but imagine it might have been for others. Overall a wonderful practice but if you have breastfeeding questions seek out an IBCLC or LLLI counselor.

She is wonderful with your children and she is just as wonderful with the parents regardless if this is your 1st child or your 3rd child. Very calm and refreshingly sensitive to your needs and concersns. She does not make you feel "crazy" for asking any questions or having any concerns and she does not make you feel rushed. She always makes you feel important and that she cares about your child.

Would not recommend her to anyone who has a child with any conditions outside of the normal conditions. She only wants the easy cases and is not willing to listen to the parents of the child
