Deborah R. Faccenda's Online Review Report Card

I have gone to Pennridge Pediatrics since we moved to PA in 2013. I will now be leaving because of Dr. Facenda's unprofessional behavior and condescending/arrogant bedside Manner. Rolling her eyes, laughing at my child's concerns as if my teen is stupid, dismissing our questions and concerns because we had questions about her recommendation. I will never allow her near my children ever again. She needs to retire. She is jaded, tired and no longer views her patients and their families as PEOPLE. She behaves as if patients and their parents are stupid and beneath her.

She has negative reviews everywhere and now I know why. I am disgusted with the way she treated my child and how she spoke to me. All she can manage to do is quote fact-less data that has no barring on whether a child is actually thriving. No bedside manner to be seen, what are you doing working with children?

I’ve been taking my kids to this practice for years however I will be switching based on my experience with Dr. Faccenda. Not only was her instruction on how I should parent my child biased and rude, it was also unfounded and purely baseless opinions. She has no bedside manner whatsoever and it strikes me very odd that she’s in this profession at all given her cold, judgmental attitude. I’d suggest she read up on current practices of nurturing mothers and stop spewing outdated advice that’s nothing more than a list of myths from 50 years ago. Parents deserve supportive doctors who recognize times have changed and old philosophies no longer apply. And if you’re going to talk to parents about their choices make sure you at least get your facts straight.

Sometimes it takes a really awful doctor to realize that you are doing things right. Thank goodness I know fact from fiction and choose to be a nurturing parent because this doctors take on what makes for a happy, healthy family is very questionable.

My 5 children have seen her for years, both for sick and well visits. She is wonderful, knowledgeable and does a great job. I am very happy at Pennridge Pediatrics

I did not like the way the doctor spoke to my children. She was very cold to them, not warm and friendly at all. When she examined my 7 year old son's genital area during a well check, she did not explain at all why she was touching him (the other doctors do that). He commented immediately when she left the room that she touched him with her bare hand where people should not touch. Very disappointed in my visit to Pennridge Pediatrics.
