I’ll lead with we love chesterfield pediatrics and will continue going here however only seeing our provider. Unfortunately due to only 1 doctor being available and despite reviews we accepted the appointment - I had a very disappointing experience with Dr.harrington like other reviews she has no bed side manners! From the moment we walked in, the doctor came across as rude and dismissive. She repeatedly questioned my daughter, asking her to repeat herself multiple times, clearly implying she didn’t believe her even after me explaining to her as well. It was incredibly uncomfortable and completely inappropriate, especially in a pediatric setting where children should feel safe and respected. To top it all off as she was talking to me my 2 year old was saying mommy, mommy to get my attention the Doctor then put her hand in my 2 year old face to hush her as she herself continued to talk to me and highly didn’t appreciate that! Instead of offering support or guidance, she was judgmental and made me feel criticized as a parent. Her tone lacked empathy, and I left the appointment feeling worse, not better. As a pediatrician, compassion and understanding are critical, especially when dealing with concerned parents and children. Unfortunately, that was entirely missing from this visit.
