In response to this review: “Rude, Insensitive and Mocking a 4-year old girl? WTH???” I say to you, I know how stressful it can be when your child is sick. It seems you were under a great amount of stress when you wrote this review. I do not want to downplay your feelings, but I do want people to take your review at face value - a mother concerned about her child, completely misconstruing a visit with a phenomenal doctor and then choosing to write an unfounded, inflammatory review. I am new to this forum, however, I am not new to Dr. Vincent. I started out as one of his patients over 50 years ago - and I am a female. I subsequently took my three children to him - two of whom are female. I have referred multiple people to him over the years - many with daughters. This man is an amazing intellectual, compassionate, kind, loving man, and anyone that has been lucky enough to cross paths with will be forever grateful for the experience.

If I could give fewer than 1 star I would. My daughter went in with what we though was a UTI. It was obvious that my daughter was not comfortable being examined in that area by a strange doctor. Instead of making her feel more at ease, he mocked the fact that she was pouting to show she was upset. If that wasn't enough, his response to her clinging to me was to say, "come on, I don't have all day." To me, this is completely unacceptable behavior for both a physician, and someone with as much experience as Dr. Vincent. To act so callously towards an obviously upset and sensitive child is unconscionable. It goes without saying that my daughter will never be seen by this hack again. I do not believe that this man should be seeing young female patients, if this is how he will treat them. Girls of this age are very aware of their private areas, and are very shy. For him to act in such an inappropriate way and with such insensitivity was shocking. We have been to many of the physicians within the Pediatric Associates system, and they have all been top notch. To have such a bad experience was both disappointing and unexpected. DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR. more

The number one reason I'm sorry I moved away from Seattle is the Pediatric Associates in Bellevue. They are by far the best pediatricians we've ever had the pleasure of taking our daughter to. The office staff are personable and helpful. There is a huge fishtank in the waiting room to entertain the kids, and there are plenty of toys and books to keep them occupied. The doctors really take their time with you - which is saying a lot from new parents. I never felt rushed, and they were extra kind to my needle-shy husband who nearly passed out each time our newborn needed a new set of shots. I totally recommend this place for your kids. more
