The
staff
were
nice,
just
incompetent.
Having
recently
moved
to
Las
Vegas,
my
wife
and
I
thought
that
a
pediatric
clinic
associated
with
a
University
would
be
a
good
place
to
take
our
child
for
a
checkup.
We
were
wrong
and
here's
why:
1.)
We
scheduled
our
appointment
for
3:20.
They
later
asked
us
to
be
there
by
2:50.
We
showed
up
at
2:40
and
waited
until
4:00
to
be
seen.
2).
The
nurse
who
weighed
and
checked
the
height
of
our
child
didn't
do
it
correctly.
Aside
from
the
fact
that
our
child
was
weighed
in
a
glorified
closet,
his
clothes
and
shoes
weren't
removed
to
attain
a
proper
weight
/
height.
The
nurse
also
used
an
adult
height
and
weight
scale
though
our
child
is
too
young
for
such
a
scale.
3).
We
were
seen
by
a
graduate
student
instead
of
a
doctor,
and
were
unsatisfied
with
his
diagnosis
and
care.
He
lacked
many
tricks
to
calm
children
down
that
more
experienced
pediatricians
have.
He
also
lacked
the
foresight
to
ask
us
for
help
(we
did
jump
in).
Consequently,
I
have
reason
to
believe
that
he
didn't
properly
check
our
child's
ears,
etc.
We
came
in
for
a
wellness
check
to
discuss
our
childs
speech
(which
is
a
tad
behind)
and
for
a
checkup
which
our
previous
pediatrician
suggested.
There
is
absolutely
nothing
wrong
with
our
child's
hearing,
yet
the
doctor
insisted
we
get
a
second
appointment
with
an
audiologist
when
we
were
much
more
interested
in
talking
to
a
speech
therapist.
When
he
left
the
room,
we
left
the
appointment
early
due
to
our
frustration.
4).
They
treated
the
appointment
like
an
18
month
checkup
(they
state
this)
though
my
child
is
closer
to
24
months.
We
already
had
an
18
month
checkup
with
our
previous
pediatrician
(who
told
us
to
we
ought
to
come
back
in
for
a
22
month
checkup
-
which
is
why
we
were
there).
What
that
means
is
that
we
paid
for
something
that
our
child
had
already
been
seen
for.
5).
We
were
quoted
one
price
over
the
phone,
charged
another
price
at
the
counter,
and
billed
a
third
price
later
by
mail.
Thankfully,
after
calling
billing
and
complaining
about
our
terrible
experience,
the
final
tally
was
substantially
reduced.
As
I
mentioned
above,
the
staff
were
very
pleasant,
including
our
nurse
and
the
doctor
we
visited.
However,
I
wouldn't
recommend
UNLV
Pediatrics
to
my
worst
enemy
given
our
service
experience.
