my current ped is with Rex and they are in contract disputes with Aetna still. Starting May 1 the peds office said they are treating all Aetna patients as self pay and you need to pay the complete visit $$ out of pocket and get reimbursed. I really don't want to change but I'm not sure how long this contract stuff will be going on. My son sees the ped every 3/4 months for a medication check and I really cannot afford to pay out of pocket each time and wait for Aetna to reimburse me.
How about Cary Pediatric Center (Cresent Comments at the corner of Kildaire and Tryon)? Anything good or bad about them?
We have gone to them since our son was born. We like them. Some Dr's bedside manner are better than others but they are all good Dr's. We love Dr. Bloom and Zimmerman.

I would agree with this assessment. We have been going there for almost 5 years now and have been pleased. I don't think we have ever had a problem getting a same day appointment.
I agree with all of the above. I don't know if the doctors we have seen have the warmest bedside manners, but they are okay and we have never had trouble getting same day appointments.
We moved from MD last years and went to Cary Pediatrics when my 2-year old son had a bad cold. I didn't get a chance to do much research due to urgency. The place was not bad, but it felt like a conveyor belt. After waiting in the first room (we had an early morning appointment) we were invited to the exam room and were stuck there close to 20 min. With a cranky toddler and nothing to do it was like a torture. Doctor was OK but she seemed to concentrate more on paperwork than my son.
The nurse was kind of grumpy. She tried to weigh my son but he wouldn't step on the scales (those terrible old "shaky" ones). When I offered to weigh me holding him and then just me separately and subtract the weight, she had a look as if I said something outrageous. Then she said that most kids don't like the scales. Then why not buy different ones?
We found another doctor with a small private office and I couldn't be happier. I'll PM you the address.
