| - There are so many wonderful things to say about this practice. First, let me begin with how I learned about this office. My husband and I took a baby class as we are first time parents and were extremely nervous, excited, inexperienced and overwhelmed with the thought of bringing home our son. During the class the nurse (instructor) asked us if we has chosen a pediatrician; we had not. A few people in the class had mentioned Siena pediatrics and how they knew immediately after meeting Dr. Carrie and her staff this office was for them. The instructor began to rave about how caring Dr. Carrie is and how she actually use to sit in on the baby class after working a full day just to answer any questions new, frightened parents may have. I knew I had to meet her.
I'm extremely close with my parents and they are very involved in my life in all aspects. How could I not bring them along with me? There I was 9 months pregnant sitting in a room looking at a mural of sea creatures and thinking this is such an important meeting! The next 18 years of my sons life in healthy or sick times was dependent upon my initial, maternal reaction. I looked at my mother who was echoing my sentiments. My dad was busy gathering all the packets of everything having to do with what children could have: allergies, colds, immunizations etc. Then my Jerry McGuire moment happened! She opened the door and had the most warm and inviting smile. I knew then. Just like when you try on the dress and you just know. We talked a lot. I felt like I was the only person in the office. She answered all of my questions: breast feeding vs bottle, immunizations, how she got into the field, her medical schooling etc. She even hugged me before she left! I knew this was going to be my son's Dr. It only solidified my feelings when both of my parents raved about how much they loved her personality and knowledge when we got in the car.
My son just turned 10 months and I have to say I enjoy going to this office for his well checks and even when he sometimes is not so well. My son had horrible eczema when he was 4 months old. It was so bad he began bleeding from scratching himself. I brought him into Dr. Carrie and she immediately knew he was allergic to something and this was more than just infant eczema. She ordered a blood test and although it was not the most fun to watch your 5 month old baby get pricked with needles I knew it had to be done. One week later and her nurse called to let me know my son is allergic to eggs and peanuts. I cannot tell you how shocked/relieved I was to know what was causing his reactions. Since gaining this information and refraining from eating anything that contains either of those ingredients my son's skin is perfect again like a baby's should be. I was so grateful to have her recommend the blood work because now we know to avoid that until hopefully he outgrows it.
Each visit I feel more comfortable with Dr. Carrie and her staff. I brought my son in two weeks ago for a little cold and saw the newest member to her practice Dr. Reema. Again, I left feeling a sense of calm. She spent so much time in the room with my son and was so extremely attentive to his needs. She could not have been kinder to us and gave me specific instructions of how to take care of him since this was the first time in 10 months he has ever been sick. Love, love, loved her!
To sum up my long but very important review, know these Dr.'s are so absolutely wonderful, caring, and educated. I definitely without a doubt recommend this practice to everyone I meet that is looking for a great pediatrician.
