I decided to find a new pediatrician for my daughter after not being completely satisfied with the care she received from a different practice. I am so thankful I switched and wish I would have done it sooner. From the moment we walked into the office, we were greeted with kindness and warmth from the front desk, nurses, and Dr. Martin. As a first time mom, I have lots of questions and concerns and Dr. Martin took the time to explain things clearly and thoroughly. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience so far!

We are so grateful that Dr Schloegel has been our family’s pediatrician for over 23 years. He is so caring & knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know his patients and treats them like family. We couldn’t ask for a better pediatrician! The entire team at Pediatric Care Specialists is exceptional!

Scheduling, transfer of records, reminders leading up to day of appointment, parking and check in were smooth. The front desk staff and nurses are so sweet and kind with the kids and parents. We absolutely loved Dr.VanVliet and her nurse. Dr. VanVliet has a great bed side manner, is knowledgable and detail oriented. We are definitely sticking with Dr.V for my daughter and son who's on the way! They have lactation consultants here too which is a huge plus. Thank you for such good service.

Our experience here with our newborn has been great. From the prenatal appointment & now our second visit with our baby, it’s a great experience! Dr. Wolfe is affirming, reassuring & very kind as are the rest of the staff.

2025-06-06 Google Review Emily S

We see Dr. VanVliet and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She’s so patient, caring, knowledgeable and wonderful with our 4 year old. She makes her feel at ease immediately. We never feel rushed during our appointments with her (in spite of the lengthy lists we typically bring with us of things to talk/ask about).We’ve been going to Pediatric Care Specialists for over two years now and have always received the best care whether it’s for a wellness exam or a same-day walk-in, everyone we’ve seen has been exceptional.

We’ve been going to this practice about 6 years, and absolutely love it! The care team is so knowledgeable and practical, and we are never made to feel rushed. They interact well with the kids, to the point that my kids look forward to their checkups. Beyond the excellent care, this office runs very smoothly. They are punctual, organized, clean, and on top of all the administrative details. I’m so glad we found Dr Martin and the amazing team here!

From the cleanliness of the facility to the helpfulness of the front desk to the kindness + efficiency of nurse Gabby to the friendliness + thoroughness of Dr. Hadley, the entire experience was second to none!

My wife and I absolutely loved our experience. We brought our newborn for our first visit, and the clinic was excellent. Dr. Vanvliet is amazing—she takes the time to explain everything, making us feel both comfortable and confident. The same goes for the lactation team, who were equally supportive and professional. We highly recommend this clinic!

We see Megan at Pediatric Care and to say she is the absolute best simply wouldn’t do her justice. She is kind and thorough with her visits. She has a way of putting our kids at ease while they are there. She listens to our concerns and offers a multitude of knowledge for our questions. We all absolutely adore her and our kids think she is the best even if they have to get shots. We are so lucky we found her!

My child has been coming to see a doctor here for several years, and each time the staff is receptive and organized. Pre-check in a few days before makes life a breeze. Kids can get a token for a prize machine after their visit - has things like bouncy balls, temp tattoos, etc - and they take quarters as well, in case there's a sibling in tow who insists on one too.

This lovely place is a lifesaver when you have a sick child and can’t wait for an appointment! The excellent staff took care of us quickly, doctor answered all our questions, and our little one is already improving thanks to the prescribed medication and their great care!!

The staff had a room immediately ready for us, and were very quick with vitals. We barely had to wait for the pediatrician. Dr. VanVliet is so thorough, and I never felt rushed as I spoke with her. Her bedside manner is wonderful. Strong recommend.

They always take the best care of our two toddler boys. The clinic is super clean and the doctors are very efficient. We had a strep concern. The office walk-in visit took less than 1 hour from check-in to check out. Highly recommend.

My kids have been patients here for 19 years. I love this practice the entire staff is amazing. The nurse triage line is so helpful and accommodating. My kids trust Dr. Martin, they are teens now and she has been amazing. We will be sad when our time will end when they need to start seeing another provider as they reach adulthood.

I might have reviewed Pediatric Care Specialists before but I must do it again. This practice has it together! They have scheduling, hardly any wait office visits and quality care down to a science. Our primary is Dr Schloegel and he is such a kind, caring, knowledgeable physician. My kiddos have seen a few other providers here (sick visits) and they all are great. I really have nothing negative to say.

The Dr’s here are amazing. Went in for urgent care and the Dr spent so much time with my daughter. I love that she spent time explaining things to my daughter and making her feel heard!

Amazing! From lactation specialist to the office staff to pediatrician we are thrilled! The whole team really cares about our baby as well as us and our understand of our baby’s health as parents. We feel like we’re in the perfect place for care driven by the combination of compassion and the highest level of medical knowledge that gives us the feeling our baby is very well taken care of. Grateful to have found this practice and highly recommend!

We have seen both Dr. Martin and Scholegel. They are kind and knowledgeable. The office staff are great. They are quick to respond to phone calls, med refills, and concerns that arise.
