| - Dr. Garrett at SCP is in 1 word - AMAZING!!
When I was on the hunt for a pediatrician for Baby C while I was still pregnant, I asked a few of my fellow colleagues where they take/have taken their kids. A lot of them mentioned SCP (both the Shea and Osborn locations). I gave them a call and let them know I was still pregnant, but was looking for a ped for my son when he arrived. I had questions - they happily answered! I had a feeling this was going to be a good match.
So fast forward to Baby C's birth. I knew from the moment I learned I was pregnant that I wanted to breastfeed. Our first official day at the birthing suites, in the couplet rooms, on the night shift..I had a nurse from HELL. From manhandling me and Baby C, to belittling my efforts and pushing formula. At 6am, I snapped. I literally lost my shit and went a little nuts, crying hysterically and hyperventilating after the Demon Nurse did her final check on us and got her last rude comment in before she left. Dr. Garrett walked in a minute later. She calmed me down, told me that my body knew what to do (and I needed to trust that and myself), and then proceeded to go report the nurse to the nursing supervisor. From that moment - I knew Dr. Garrett had not only Baby C's best interest but mine (and my parenting plan/wishes) as well. A match made in baby heaven!
Now, unfortunately Baby C suffers from a few respiratory ailments. The handful of times I've taken him in, Dr. Garrett is pleased with how my treatment has gone thus far (giving breathing treatments, etc) and she basically trusts my judgment (i have my own resp issues, so I know the drill). Baby C has dodged the hospital admission bullet a few times - because we can get a handle on his breathing and she knows that I'm on the ball with his treatment. But she knows that if I bring him in to be seen, there's a problem.
OH - She's also not one of those Drs that will just throw antibiotics at the problem. Not if antibiotics aren't truly warranted. She in fact isn't the kinda Dr to prescribe meds just to appease the patients parents. I know a few parents like that...demanding antibiotics for a basic virus that antibiotics wont do squat for (but help with the problem of antibiotic resistant super-bugs).
Oh and the office staff - from the front desk to the nurses are wonderful too!. OH and Mary Beth is an excellent NP!! We've seen her a few times when we couldn't get in to see Dr. Garrett.
I can and will shout it from the mountain tops - I love this Peds Office and Dr. Garrett!! :D
