Baylor Pediatric Center

I concur with the poor reviews of Dr Clifford. By failing to use a simple diagnostic light, she misdiagnosed ringworm on my pre-​K daughter which caused it to spread to her scalp (much tougher to treat). Seven years later she dismissed my daughter’s arm injury after painful manipulation. I insisted on a xray and, after some eye-​rolling, she acquiesced. It was in fact broken. Doctors are human and we all make mistakes but she rushes through appointments and treats the patient like a piece of meat. On another occasion, she checked my daughters diaper area by pulling on her legs until she fell backwards with her head propped up against the wall – cross-​wise on the examining table with her legs hanging off. I was speechless. She will never touch my children again.

We were referred to Dr. Clifford by my wife’s obgyn. She is a HORRIBLE pediatrician. I’m not sure why she is a pediatrician, she doesn’t seem to really care about kids.
When my daughter was about 2 months old, we brought her in for another round of shots. When Dr. Clifford came in, she grabbed my daughter and started to do her thing. My daughter cried. Dr Clifford said, «what’s wrong with your baby?» Gee I don’t know, doc. Maybe she is getting adjusted to being outside of the womb and doesn’t enjoy visiting this place where she gets stabbed with a needle every few weeks.
When she was 6 months old, my daughter had a febrile seizure in the middle of the night. The next day, we visited Dr. Clifford. Without even examining my daughter, she dismissed the seizure (almost like it was made up) and said it was probably a reaction to the most recent shot. A few days later, another seizure and a trip to the emergency room. The docs there went right to a diagnosis of a UTI. They ran a catheter, did a test and sure enough it was a UTI. Where a normal doctor would have ordered a sonogram to verify there were no kidney problems, Dr. Clifford did nothing.
At 9 months, we went in for a routine check-​up. The Dr. Clifford ordered bloodwork. The lab we were sent to pricked my daughter in the arm and the heel about 8 times. Then, they lost the blood. Then, Dr. Clifford’s office had no follow-​up on the tests. They offered no explanation of the tests or follow-​up to find out how one loses someone’s blood.
Every question we asked was greeted with a packet. If I wanted to read and study about babies, I’d be a pediatrician myself. I always felt like I was being talked down to. I never got the feeling that she really cared about my daughter the way a pediatrician should. Look, I don’t like other people’s kids either. But I am not a pediatrician.
Now, here’s the straw. After an ear infection, my daughter was prescribed antibiotics. The nurse called in the prescription, it would be ready at the pharmacy by the time we got there. Then she asked if we would like them to administer the first dose… period, that was the end of her sentence. Sure, that sounds convenient. Little did I know that dose would cost $ 185. When we got the bill, of course we called the office to inquire. After a slightly heated discussion with the office manager, we begrudgingly paid the bill. A few days later, we received a certified letter informing us that our daughter would be discharged as a patient. That’s right, we were FIRED as a patient.
Don’t believe me? Go online and look for other reviews on other sites, they all read about the same. Dr. Clifford is NOT a good pediatrician. Spare your child, find a different doc. If I could, I would leave 0 stars. Hell, I would leave negative 5 stars.

Dr Clifford is the worst dr I have ever been to!!! She talks to like your stupid, she talks over you without listening to what your saying, real snappy, and then she miss one of my babies shots and she said maybe I didn’t want it, I told her how smart ass she was, she never apologize or was sorry for her attitude, just went to next subject and walked off I complain with manager but what good will it do, it’s her word against mine. I definitely won’t ever ever recommend her.

We’ve been going to Dr. Milici since my kids were born, and we’ve been very impressed with her care. I’m blessed with generally healthy kids, so we mostly see her for yearly check-​ups, immunizations, and the random stomach bug or sinus infection. On the rare occasions when we can’t in directly to see her, we’re able to get an appointment with her Nurse Practitioner. The office is run very efficiently (everything is electronic), and Dr. Milici and her nurse are very quick to return phone calls when we have questions.

Dr. Clifford is the absolute worst doctor i’ve ever seen in my life. I litterly walked out on her mid-​sentence. She has awful bedside mannor, and didnt interact with my son one time (i have no idea why she is a peditrician.) She made me feel like an idiot and asked me personal questions that were absolutly no way related to the care of my son.
Dr. Spaeth isn’t much better.
If you must go here, I recomend Dr. Melichi. She is friendly, warm, and cares about your child.
