text: I absolutely loved DS Ped We only stopped going because we moved Both my kids saw Dr Allred since birth My daughter had severe acid reflux and was not gaining weight Dr Allred worked closely with me to monitor her weight and come up with solutions that I was comfortable with She did not discount my input and never treated me as a first time overprotective parent She always listened to me and made me feel respected She is fantastic nnThe only reason I am giving DS stars instead of is because of Marion one of the PAs I am not a fan of him I did have to see him a couple of times for urgent appointments and I was not happy either time I do not care for his bedside manner At one of the visits my daughter had a very itchy unusual rash on the bottom of both her feet She was only monthscrying and attempting to scratch her feet constantly Marion was not able to tell what the rash was and just left it at that No attempt to refer us to a specialist no medicine given NOTHING I ended up making another appointment to see Dr Allred who was much more concerned about the rash and referred us to a pediatric dermatologist It actually took several months of visiting specialists to get the rash to go away however they did give us medicine immediately to help her itching Had I not trusted my gut and made another appointment my daughter would have continued suffering for even longernnI did see several other PAs in the office and other doctors as well and I like everyone else The staff was always welcoming and friendly The remembered me and my children and were sad to see us leave nnOne note if you are a little late to your appointment they can usually keep your appointment but if you are very late they will need to work you back into the schedule and sometimes that can take hours Some people might be upset by that personally I appreciated it I understand that things come up and sometimes you might be late especially with little babies but they should not be expected to push everyone elses appointments back to squeeze you back in This happened to me once and they were kind about it and were able to work me back in hours later nnEvery time my kids got sick and needed an appointment urgently they were able to get me in on the same day The Chandler office has Saturday hours that I utilized a few times as wellnnOverall I highly recommend Desert Shores
