Rude and unprofessional.Went for sons 8year check-up,nurse says he's border line overweight.When I comment back that he's not,she says she doesn't want to talk in front of him.Shes not too smart as she should've excused ourselves in hallway.Still pretty sure majority of them are just interns,but either way doctors don't know everything like they might think they do.My son looks healthy not fat or too thin!!!Maybe she needs to lose weight!!!Also why does doctors office smell like an ashtray??I don't smoke and would like to ke... read more

My grandson who is 4 yrs old is a pt here and has been seen 3 times and told there is nothing wrong with him. We had to take him MANY times to Nite Light peds who we LOVE because they are kind, sincere and TRULY take care of my grandson. He has had 5 double ear infections, URI and very bad tonsils, so swollen that he couldnt even talk but yet there is NOTHING wrong with him according to Alt. Peds. He has been on so many antibotics that soon NOTHING will help him anymore! I have been in the medical field 30plus yrs and never... read more

I am not the person to complain, in fact this is my first time commenting on any business anywhere in the United States. I had horrible experience with the Altamonte Pediatrics, I took my baby there from 0 to 9 months and every time there was something that made me very uncomfortable. After all the visits I had with them, I am sure that all they want is to make money they do not care about your baby. Every time we came for an appointment (on time!) we would be seen at least 40 minutes after; and out of 6 visits we had there ... read more

I have been taking my children to this office for about 3 years and it was mainly because of convenience since we are 5 minutes away. The Staff is Rude, from the time you make the appointment, check in, see the nurse, they treat you as if you are bothering them. I finally got enough today and I will take my kids else where. You pretty much get the impression that every one there hates their job and do not really care about the patients. I am surprise that Dr. Harris the owner wouldn't do some thing about this since he is nic... read more

Here are the two texts I just sent to my wife : "I'd like to start looking for a new pediatrician. The staff is lukewarm, the nurses are absolutely terrible, the place is extremely unhygienic and we saw Dr Zissman to top it all off." "And on a personal note if I see him on the street there is a 50/50 chance I'll punch him in his face. Depending on how I'm feeling that day." My wife says they used to be good years ago but agrees we need to change. Oh, I'm an ER nurse btw although I don't tell that to Altamonte Pediatrics. ... read more

If I could give this place 0-Stars I would, I chose this location for my newborn due to distance from my house. He was born on a Sunday, we were discharged on Wed, Thursday was New Years Day (Offices Closed), then I was rushed to triage for an emergency (postpartum) surgery. While in triage, I missed 2 phone calls from Alt Ped. I called back explaining that I was in triage, I would call them on Monday to schedule an appointment for my baby then. In the next HOUR, I missed 3 more calls from Alt Ped, one with a voice messag... read more

Terrible! I saw 2 doctors for my 11 day old son. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt the 1st time but the 2nd visit was worse. I saw Dr. Soven who was Unprofessional,rude, rough with my child, lacked patient care for sure. Never again! Parents beware yes it's that bad!

This office just does not take ownership. We saw them for 3 1/2 years. Of that 3 1/2 they prescribed my daughter Myralax and have had her on it for 18 months. Honestly I was never comfortable with it but when I saw the X-rays felt that I needed to go a long. The confusing part for me is that my daughter had always a bowl movement every single day, so I never knew she was "backed up". The whole time I am told that once she is "no longer backed up" they would guide me and we would go over food options that may or may not be ca... read more

My son was having a checkup when it was discovered that a beetle had crawled into his ear while he was playing in the grass. The nurse yelled 'this kid has a beetle in his ear' which thoroughly frightened my child. She then grabbed his head and started digging it out roughly. My child was very frightened and she yelled at him then said to me 'can't you control your child?" His ear was bleeding quite a bit afterwards and they sent my wife home without any information. It was a nightmare and my son refuses to go back. This ... read more
