Treehouse Pediatrics

I love this doctor’s office, they are very efficient in what they do here. Our Doctor is Dr. Duble and I love her, i don’t know if this is protocol for pediatricians but she came by the hospital when my daughter was born several times to do check ups before we even went into the office officially for check ups & I really liked that. She’s always addressing our concerns & as a first time mom there’s A LOT of concerns. I also love how after each appointment they never rush us out of the room because when you have a baby it takes time to actually get them situated before you can actually leave. We have to make sure she’s fed and not fussy before leaving and putting her in the car, otherwise the ride home is hell

Dr. Unite is an excellent doctor, 5 stars and no complain. He is the doctor of my children for years. Some of the nurses there are very good, some are average and not very passionate about their jobs. The office is seeing too many patients and overbooked. Recent years, our children barely got to see Dr. Unite when they need him. No matter what time or what day I called, the doctor was not available. They always scheduled us to see the NP. So, my kids were seeing a different NP every time when they were sick from time to time in months. Now, I am asking myself why I keep going back to Treehouse if my sick children barely to be able to make an appointment with Dr. Unite. He is the only reason keep me returning. I may seriously switch to another pediatric office that is less busy and closer to home.

I jumped online this morning to get some info off of the Treehouse website, and got caught up reading the Unilocal reviews. I was mostly curious, as to why anyone would give less than 4 or 5 stars? So I started reading. I was shocked with the (albeit few) angry responses that were posted. In the 18 years my family has seen Dr. Unite, I have NEVER experienced anything but kindness, professionalism, expert medical knowledge, compassionate bedside manor, and timeliness from anyone at this office, (from everyone in the front office all the way to any and all medical staff). When my son was born, we started out at another pediatrician’s office. We met Dr. Unite at that office and ended up moving with him when he left and started his own practice (Treehouse). He and his staff are amazing! My son will be leaving for college in the fall, and Dr. Unite has reassured us that he still sees many college students when they return home from school, until eventually they find their own «adult» doctor! Even the few occasions when we’ve not been able to see Dr. Unite himself, we are always comfortable knowing that we will be treated with knowledge and respect by whomever we see. Both of my children, (a senior boy and a junior girl), have always felt very comfortable around him and his staff and have never dreaded or not wanted to go to their office. I understand that good news travels, and that there have been times when their office is not taking new patients. I get it. But if you have an chance to become one of Treehouse’s patients, seize the opportunity. You won’t regret it!

If I could give Treehouse a rating of 100, I would. Dr. Addy is the best pediatrician. Period. She has an amazing balance of technical knowledge and «real world» judgment/​common sense. The staff is professional and the office is well run and efficient. I love being able to call the nurse line during business hours with questions about my daughter and get a return call within the hour — most of the time it’s faster. I absolutely trust Dr. Addy with my daughter’s care!

Dr. Chang has been my daughters pediatrician ever since she was a newborn, and he’s just outstanding. He’s always been on time (we’ve never waited more than 5 minutes for him… seriously!), and he takes plenty of time to thoroughly answer all of mine and my husbands questions. He’s very knowledgable and professional, while at the same time very personable (‘down-​to-​earth’), and NOT AT ALL pretentious.
The nurse (Adrienne) my daughter has consistently seen there, is awesome as well. She is also very personable, never keeps us waiting longer than 5 minutes, is very patient/​forgiving every time I forget to fill out my daughters charts before her appointment (oops!).
Our daughter needed an emergency appointment 2 weeks ago (ear infection in both ears), and we were able to see Lauren (one of the nurse practitioners) the next day, and she was amazing as well!
The waiting room is decorated with a treehouse theme (obviously). There’s a fish tank, toys and books, plenty of entertainment for kids prior to their appointments. The exam rooms are themed differently; we’ve been in the safari room, outer space room, a farm themed room… its pretty cool IMO! (I mean, when I was a kid, MY old pediatricians office wasn’t decorated all cool like Treehouse Pediatrics is! Just sayin’!)
TL;DR — Dr. Chang, Adrienne, and Lauren are the best. I haven’t had a negative experience with anyone there, and would definitely recommend Treehouse to parents in/​around the area!

LOVE Treehouse and Dr. Addy. She always takes her time with us and we have never felt rushed or like our concerns were insignificant. She is a great listener and you never feel judged for parenting choices. They always fit us in for sickness and they have separate healthy and sick kid sides. Anyone we have ever dealt with here has always been MORE than accommodating and helpful. They have it together at this place and I will not take my child anywhere else! We love it!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Unite and the team at Treehouse Pediatrics. You can trust your children’s health to their care!

Our family has had an amazing experience at Treehouse for all three of our children. I have looked over the other reviews and never had any of the issues listed. The staff are courteous and wait times are minimal. Most of our waits are because we are early.
Physicians and nurses are wonderful. Excellent bedside manner and they are happy to answer questions and explain what is going on.
I can say that I have not had a better experience with pediatricians than I have had at Treehouse Pediatrics.

We’ve been patients of Dr. Travis going on seven years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else! Just had baby #2 and our experience has been just as wonderful as it was when our son was born.
Dr. Travis has a very calm and patient demeanor. He’s kind, thorough and we’ve never once felt rushed.
There have been a handful of circumstances when we had to see other physicians/​assistants within the practice and they’ve all been positive experiences.
I know our family is in good hands!

Dr. Chang is wonderful. He tolerates my last minute questions as he’s walking out the door (every time). He’s very understanding of our somewhat-​hippy parenting choices. He’s a good one.

We used to go to Dr Brown over by central market but ever since she left that location to move somewhere further for us we decided to give this place a try. I really like this place and the doctors and staff is always so nice and super good with the kids. I am also glad it is so much closer to home.

Dr. Chang is a phenomenal pediatrician. We have been seeing him since 2010, had a break in care upon moving, and then resumed care upon our return, to include the addition of our second son. Not only has Dr. Chang always delivered compassionate care and sound advice with a gentle bedside demeanor, but he also shouldered the cost of a wellness exam which turns out was out of network by my insurance. Needless to say, we payed out of pocket after that, until changing our insurance this year… so worth it! Adrienne, his nurse is also amazing. Fast, efficient and funny, keeps my boys smiling. We always get right in, never any waiting. And the rest of the staff are superb as well. Thank you Treehouse, we feel so fortunate to be cared for by you!

Dr. Unite has been our pediatrician since 3 – 2011 when our DD was born. Treehouse has walk-​in hours, like a sick-​kiddy triage, from 8 – 10 every morning. We’ve also been able to get an appt same day (not necessarily with dr Unite, but a nurse practitioner or partner dr) whenever we’ve needed one. Nurses are great about scheduling appts on Facebook! Everyone we’ve seen there has seemed happy and engaged in keeping my child healthy. Clinic is clean and bright. Love the separate well-​child and sick-​child waiting rooms!

Great experience. We have been seeing Dr. Travis for 3 ½ years now. My son has had fever twice and has been correctly diagnosed and treated both times. I am very happy with all of the friendly and caring staff. Very busy practice but the quality of care is the absolute best!

Let me first say that our oldest has been a patient here for 7yrs. and I’ve put up with some of the undesirable experiences over the course of that time. For example things like unfriendly and inefficient office staff & ding-​dong NPs (not all, but a few) simply because we LOVE, LOVE Dr. Chang. He is a 5-​star pedi. we’ve also seen some of the other doctors and have been happy. The nurses are always sweet to the kids too.
However, it seems clear that since we started there, the practice is overrun with too many patients, leading to less quality care, long wait times, and basic unavailability for my children to actually ever see Dr. Chang for well-​checks and/​or sick visits.
Today was our last visit there. I took my daughter to the sick clinic and we waited 2.5 hrs just to get to the exam room. I realize it was the sick clinic option and not appt. (they didn’t have any available until late afternoon and since she’d been sick all weekend, I wanted her seen during the morning), but come on! I was told when we checked in it was 1 hr. wait, so it seems they severely underestimated. I had to ask at the 2 hr. mark when she might be seen and they said «She’s next.» Still we waited another 30 min.
In addition, I called and left a msg with the nurse last week to get a referral to specialist. Luckily, our insurance doesn’t require that referral because they never called back. I just wanted their opinion and insight on who would be good for this speciliaty area.
Also, a few months ago my daughter did have the flu, but when swabbed there twice by the NP it came back inconclusive. I refused to let them do it again because she was hysterical by that point. Needless to say, we left and went somewhere else where they confirmed the flu and treated accordingly.
I have a handful of disappointments, but will give it a rest at this point.
I’m actually relieved we are moving soon, as we will start out with a new pedi there at a practice that is less «bursting at the seams.»
Bottom line, I’d recommend you go elsewhere at this point and look for a smaller, more attentive practice. This has become a bustling inner-​city clinic and no one will get to know your child well enough to know if they actually need further attention or a deeper look, so to speak.

We had our daughter in July of 2014. We took great care in reading reviews and setting up meet and greet appointments with several pediatricians in the area. Dr. Deborati Addy was our last appointment prior to us having to choose our daughters pediatrician. Walking into Treehouse my husband and I both had different «top choices» of the doctors and practices that we had already met with. After touring the facility and meeting with the office manager and Dr. Addy my husband announced «That was easy!» as we walked out of the door. It was funny at the time because it was his way of saying that they blew the other «contenders» out of the water. We were both on the same page. The office manager patiently answered all of our questions and went over lots of information about the practice. We met with Dr. Addy and we both loved her. She knows her stuff and she is easy to talk to; she just gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling. The facility is incredibly kid friendly with themed rooms. It’s well staffed and I should mention here that we have yet to meet anyone on staff that is not anything other than friendly and helpful.
We have been in several times since and Dr. Addy is awesome! She has a way of making you feel that all of your questions matter and none of them are silly. She is gentle and caring with our daughter and she is chock full of great info.
We are both completely happy with our selection and highly recommend Dr. Addy!
**There are several 1 star reviews for the practice… however, if you read them they are mainly written by those that were unable to get into the practice due to it being so busy that they were not accepting new patients… personally I believe that a practice that does not have room for new patients at times must be doing something right!

New to the area and called about becoming a new patient to Dr. Addy. They asked if I was pregnant and when I said, «No, my son is 4», I was told they aren’t accepting patients and call back in the spring! Are you kidding me?! Call back in 6 or 7 months. The person I spoke to was named Josie and she could not have cared LESS. She told me they don’t refer to any other physicians and to check my list of providers through insurance. Really helpful advice. My son has some special needs and I need to find a great doctor for him. Very upsetting and disappointing to say the least. At least refer me elsewhere to another great practice.

Dr. Chang has been our kids’ doctor since our 1^st was born in 2010. Dr. Chang is SO patient with our millions of questions as first time parents and he is wonderful with our boys. Not only is he great but his nurse is even better. With all of the shots babies need, she is unbelievable quick and makes the traumatic experience last as little as possible. We don’t have problems making appts and when the kids are sick and we see other doctors, they have all been great.

Treehouse is totally worthy of all the hype. What a great experience. After my first, totally deflated, bummer of a review, were contacted by the new administrator and told that Dr. Unite was finally accepting new patients. It was a long wait (seven months) but we appreciated the message letting us know.
We have been in several times since and each appointment has been a good experience, even if the circumstances may have been rather unfortunate. The two times that Dr. Unite was not in, we have had the pleasure of seeing one of the nurse practitioners named, Kara. She was gentle, compassionate, sweet and extremely competent. I don’t hesitate for a minute if we have to see her as Dr. Unite’s backup.
Before joining Treehouse, due to the long wait to get in, I had assumed it would be a complete madhouse. However, one of the other great things about Treehouse is that I never get the sense that they overbook themselves. Each time that we have been in, the waiting room has only had a few people and our appointments have never felt rushed. Also, we’ve never had to wait terribly long to see someone once taken back to the exam room.
Like most medical offices, there can always be improvements made to the front desk area but there has been nothing too big to make me change my feelings for Treehouse.
It seems to be running like a well-​oiled machine; maybe this is a result of the recent administrative changes.
To anyone that may be put off by the wait to get in, it is definitely worth it. We feel very fortunate to be patients there.

WE LOVE TREEHOUSE PEDIATRICS.
My daughter has a bad case of ‘stranger danger’ and she loves Dr. Travis. All the staff we’ve met with are supportive of extended breastfeeding (still going strong at 2 years old) and they all seem very open and encouraging. The rooms are bright and fun with every room having a different theme. I LOVE that there is not only two separate entrances (one for well children and one for sick children), but also that there are two separate front desks and two separate waiting rooms! I can let my child play in the waiting room without worrying about her catching something. The only downside is that you have to remember to schedule your child’s appointments far in advance. They schedule 3 months out and they fill up quickly. My advice to you is to set a reminder in your calendar to schedule the next well check 3 months before they are due.
