Tpg Pediatrics's Online Review Report Card

Nurses cool and friendly, hard work . Amazing job thank you!

Love Lake Ridge TPG! Doctor Dryer and Nurse Practitioner Lattimore are just so amazing!

My son was born two weeks ago & we desperately needed a pediatrician. I called this pediatrician, & they were able to fit me in the same day! So accommodating & friendly.

Hello everyone, my child is a patient that goes here as of the last year and half or so. I wanted to say I was originally pleased with this practice and any doctors we have seen, however our last visit there was unsatisfactory. Last Wednesday my child’s father took her in for a check up because she had been coughing for about 2-3 weeks. The nurse that saw her was Andrea Lattimore. Without doing any testing she just “listened to her lungs” and prescribed my 3 year old daughter antibiotics and claimed she had pneumonia. I had consulted with my brother who is a MD and he stated she should have tested my child first. When I called TPG that same day from work I had questioned that why didn’t they test. The nurse spoke to me and said how she only had little time about 15 minutes to see a patient etc. and does whatever she thinks is best. - I then requested that my child be tested and on Thursday the next day, I took her in and had to take PTO from work. Again why didn’t they just do these tests when she came in on wed why did I have to call and ask for these swab tests the next day?? They wanted to do extra swabs for Covid rsv and flu which I said ok to. They all came back negative. We didn’t find out until today (5 days later) about her negative pneumonia. When I spoke with the nurse on Wednesday, I asked if it was necessary and if we can wait until we get results and she had said to me it’s up to me but she would give it because it could worsen her symptoms. I was told by my brother who is a Doctor that Walking pneumonia is usually caused by a specific bug called mycoplasma pneumoniae and can be tested for with a full respiratory viral panel. Or a chest xray is typically done to look for any kind of pneumonia (which can also be viral, but certain patterns are more typical of bacterial). They did neither of these things and blindly called it walking pneumonia and gave antibiotics. I’m ok with skipping the x ray but atleast the panel should have been done but at least they could've done the swab the first time if they were going to call it this specific type of pneumonia. Giving a specific diagnosis with a specific treatment without actually knowing it was that is the upsetting part. So I basically gave my child antibiotics for no reason. We will not be seeing that nurse again. And to all parents- please be your child’s advocate and don’t just blindly believe whatever they just say and or prescribe without proof testing done. Coming from someone who has multiple doctors in the family. Unfortunately in different states but I still call them up and get advice from them after anything fishy. Overall this office has good doctors, we liked some of them. But we won’t be blindly seeing just anyone available any longer. It was a waste of time too money, gas, PTO. Antibiotics aren’t something you should keep giving it builds resistance over time. Esp if not needed. Wanted to share my experience hoping it will enlighten people to think and truly do what’s best for your child. (With proof).

We’ve been seeing Dr. Natovitz since my kids were born (almost 9 years). She’s amazing and has been instrumental in determining some underlying health conditions. Everyone in the office is always friendly and you can get appointments!

Best pediatric center. All the nurses and doctors are very friendly and experienced.

Kind, compassionate, and professional staff, they really care about your child! My son has Down Syndrome and isn’t always text book, the staff listens to him and take any concerns seriously.

I’ve been going here for 12 years for my 2 kids and have never thought to change. We love to see Joyce at every visit.

Hands down the best pediatrics in the Nova area! Dr. Wendy Zhang is our favorite but we've had great experiences with all other doctors here.

Excellent staff and extremely efficient
