Pediatric Partners of Northern Kentucky Psc

We were with Pediatric Partners for nearly four years before an out-​of-​state move forced us to find a new pediatrician. This is a wonderful practice with excellent doctors who truly care about the welfare of your child, and I highly, highly recommend them to anyone searching for a pediatrician in the NKY area. They are associated with St. Elizabeth Edgewood and Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati. This is a three-​doctor practice, and each doctor is personable and knowledgeable, but they each have a very different style and personality, and so I think the practice could appeal to many different types of parents (and varied parenting styles).
We specifically saw Dr. Cahill, who saw us through the birth of our first and second child, through illnesses, injuries, and check-​ups. She was never rushed with us, we always felt we could ask as many questions as necessary and take up as much of her time as we needed. She was calming when my wife was stressed, filled with wonderful advice for a new mother, and was accepting (though not supportive) of our alternative vaccination schedule. I feel she truly got to know my children.
In addition, the staff is warm and affectionate with the children, they are very good about getting sick and/​or injured children in same-​day without appointments (call ahead to avoid an additional fee and longer wait-​time), and they have an after-​hours answering service where you can call and leave a message if you have a serious health concern, and the doctor-​on-​call will get back to you within an hour. My wife used this service several times as a nervous new mother, and no matter which doctor was on-​call, they always responded promptly, were extremely helpful, and never made her feel that she was putting them out or being silly by calling after hours.
My ONLY complaint is that, because they are so good about seeing sick children same-​day, because they do make regular rounds at the hospital, and because they don’t rush through appointments but talk through parental concerns, the wait to see the doctor was always very long. I understand why it is long, but I feel it does deserve mention. My wife always tried to get the first appointment of the day to avoid the wait, but even so, we often had to wait longer than we expected to see a doctor. I did not deduct a star for this because, frankly, I feel the service and care my children received was worth the wait.
