I have been taking my oldest child here forever. The doctors are excellent. At first she say Dr. Mic and when it came time for a female doctor (teenage years) Dr. Eckel has been great. I like the fact that I can call when I have concerns. The saturday hours are also appreciated.

I think Ponderosa Pediatrics is one of the best in our tri-city area. I am a speech-language pathologist so I was able to ask many families their experiences with pediatricians when selecting my own for my daughter. Also, numerous professionals I work with (OTs, PTs) choose Ponderosa for care for their own children. Dr. Hinton and Dr. Mick are excellent doctors, in my opinion. Office staff is kind and they have a nurse's line patients can call for free whenever advice is needed. I have spoken to Ginny, the nurse the other reviewer referenced, several times on the nurse's line and did not have a negative experience. I also like that the office is open Saturday mornings that acts almost like an "urgent care" but would be much cheaper. I don't think you can go wrong with Ponderosa Pediatrics.

I hardly ever write reviews, but after my experience today, I really feel obligated. First of all, the staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The nurse was also nice. The doctor (Dr. Hinton) was incredible. I really appreciated the time he spent addressing my concerns. So 90% of the visit was great, but then I walk out of the exam room and made the mistake of talking to Ginny (spelling?), who was so condescending and rude to me, I am still appalled that it even happened. This was my first time at this office, and although the majority of the visit was great, that last part really left a bad taste in my mouth. I guess that's why I'm giving it a 3-star rating. I give the last part of my visit 1 star and the rest of the visit 5 stars so I guess I'll put it in the middle for 3 stars. I will probably continue to go there just because I really like Dr. Hinton, but if I run into snobby Ginny again, it may be the end of my visits there.
