The other reviewers that called her "warm" must have Dr Christian confused with another doctor, she is an absolute robot and should be working in a lab rather than with children. I went in for a standard checkup for my 3 year old - she had made ZERO attempts of interacting with my daughter, not even a hello, not even a smile. My daughter kept trying to take my mask off or would want me to pick her up or whine to go home - it can be distracting for a parent but by this point I can listen to the doctor and deal with my kid. But Dr. Christian wasn't having it, she was visibly frustrated that I was attending to my child and not giving the doctor 100% of my attention. It was as if she had never dealt with children before. She said the following to me "This isn't working, I'm trying to communicate with you and I see that your daughter wants your attention, but you're not giving me attention and I just don't know how to communicate with you." I was completely shocked and told her that I was listening and had been acknowledging all that was being said before - she didn't make eye contact with me the rest of the visit and quickly left shortly after. What pediatrician talks like that It's not even like my daughter was being loud or hysterical. The practice itself is fine, you can never get a hold of the office directly, there are long hold times, the doctors are probably overworked and understaffed. For this particular appt, i waited about 15-16 minutes in the waiting room and then another 10-12 minutes for the doctor in the patient room.
