Review:
Allegro
Pediatrics'
Policy
on
Sick
Children
I
want
to
share
my
recent
experience
with
Allegro
Pediatrics
and
their
policy
regarding
sick
children.
Unfortunately,
I
must
advise
new
patients
to
steer
clear
of
this
practice.
This
review
specifically
concerns
Allegro
Pediatrics'
requirement
for
a
scheduled
wellness
check-up
before
attending
to
sick
children.
When
we
made
the
decision
to
transfer
our
children
to
Allegro
Pediatrics,
we
expected
timely
and
comprehensive
medical
care
for
our
family.
However,
we
were
disheartened
to
find
out
that
the
earliest
available
wellness
check-up
appointment
was
scheduled
three
months
later.
The
challenge
lies
in
the
fact
that
our
children
are
currently
unwell
and
in
need
of
immediate
attention.
Despite
our
children's
urgent
medical
needs,
Allegro
Pediatrics
adamantly
refused
to
see
them
without
the
completion
of
the
wellness
check-up
first.
This
predicament
left
us
in
a
difficult
position,
as
our
previous
pediatrician
declined
to
see
us
due
to
the
transfer
of
our
medical
records
to
Allegro
Pediatrics.
In
desperation,
we
sought
assistance
from
a
local
Urgent
Care
facility,
only
to
be
directed
back
to
a
pediatrician.
It
is
deeply
concerning
that
Allegro
Pediatrics
places
their
policy
above
the
well-being
of
sick
children.
In
such
cases,
the
primary
focus
should
always
be
on
providing
prompt
medical
care
and
addressing
urgent
health
concerns.
By
strictly
enforcing
their
policy,
Allegro
Pediatrics
fails
to
meet
this
fundamental
expectation.
I
sincerely
hope
that
Allegro
Pediatrics
reevaluates
their
policy
and
adjusts
it
to
ensure
that
sick
children
receive
the
necessary
care
without
unnecessary
delays.
The
priority
of
any
medical
practice
should
be
the
well-being
of
their
patients,
especially
when
it
comes
to
children.
