my only issue was that previous to coming in, I asked if I should bring my child, as it was a behavioral appointment. I was told to so I brought her. I was told that they would take her out of the room when it came time to discuss our issues since I didnt want to do it with her in there for fear of hurting her feelings. However, when I got there the nurse and doctor kept talking about the issue at hand with her in there. When I gave a look like uh...she's in here there seemed like there was no understanding. So then I said something to the effect, should my daughter leave? And Dr. Cline said yes. Her father and I hesitated and it was clear one of us would have to take her our, preventing us from discussing the issue together as we were told we could. Had I known they actually weren't going to provide a way for her to be looked after to discuss this issue I wouldnt have brought her. It seemed odd, as I'm sure they've done this many times, that they wanted to talk about the issue with her there. I dont know why I was told one thing, and then the opposite was done. I really like Dr. Cline but this situation made me uncomfortable and disappointed.

While I found Dr. Clein to be friendly enough, he barely did anything. I thought my son was scheduled for his well cold exam. There was no exam done.

This was a wellness check for a 3yr old. The Dr. did not even check my son, he did not even touch him. Granted the nurse and resident did but in all of my experience I would have liked the doctor to confirm my son was ok. I asked him "aren't you going to examine him?" and he said "You said you had no concerns" and walked out. I love my current pediatrician but it is very inconvenient but I would rather travel an hr to see her than have a doctor who does not seem to care about the patient and does not even apologize for being an hr late. My appointment was at 8am he did not come in the room until 9:20 and then he does not even bother to check my son. Unacceptable.

I brought my 3 year old daughter in because I thought she needed stitches. The doctor looked at it and said it could use stitches or he could glue it. I asked if the glue would hold up and he said "I work on cars all the time. That's all I do is super glue my hands. And if it comes off just add more super glue at home!" I really didn't want to have to added more at home but he said it would last 4 days. I didn't feel like I had much of a choice at all. Then he does glue it. Just gets one little layer on and then the "pen" dried up he said. So we came home and not even an HOUR later it popped right back open. I added more super glue. Only to have it open and bleed all over again that night. Very frustrating.

I don't even know if this is possible, considering how many patients are seen, but it would be nice to be somewhat acknowledged as a returning patient. Like I said don't know if that is even a possible request, but I get the feeling that we are treated like first time patients every time although we have been seeing this Dr. for over 3 yrs. now. I think most people feel more at ease when you are treated as though you have established a relationship that has occurred through the years.

Very good with my child but acted like he was "high and mighty" to my wife. Made her feel as though she shouldn't have even brought him in for a cold.

At one point in the visit, my daughter expressed anxiety about getting a walking boot. Dr. Cline was extremely attentive to her concern and sat and talked with her about her concerns. He's a pretty laid-back guy and I saw a side of him I had not seen previously. I was so impressed by that exchange. It was at that point that I could see why he is a pediatrician; he seems to really care about kids.
