My daughter is almost 3 months old. We have visited Carithers for 3 well child checks and 2 sick kid visits. We have waited and waited for each appointment. The last 5 visits we waited for over 2 hours.
I have yet to have a good visit with them. Different doctors each time. Several of the doctors were very condescending. And I have yet to have a positive experience with the office staff.
When I called to ask the nurses about my daughters fever it took them 2 hours to call back. I was told not to worry about it she was probably teething. I called the next day after the fever hit 102 (it got higher). Again, it took them two hours to call me back. (I called during office hours early).
We saw one dr. yesterday and a different one today. After seeing the dr. yesterday (we have yet to see the same dr. twice) I was told that I would be called today to see how she was doing. She has a urinary tract infection. I didn't get a call and had to call them after giving her the first oral dose of antibiotics which she promptly threw up. Again, a long wait for a return call...over two hours. The nurse was huffy and told me that the dr. I had seen had probably left for the day.
I chose Carithers because my friends and family like them. I most certainly haven't had the same experience.
