Lake Tahoe Pediatrics

I love this office, granted my son is only 4 months old, but every time I’ve been here I have been comfortable and received all the information a new mother looks to hear. He also treats my son so well it’s worth the drive from gardnerville to the lake to see dr Doyle!

My children have been patients of Dr. Doyle since they were born. We have had nothing but positive experiences in the 16 years that he has been caring for them. I find him to be very thorough and he is always available to answer any questions. I appreciate how he treats each child individually and age appropriately.

Worst pedo dr office ive ever been to. The staff is rude, especially the woman from australi. Wait times are over an hour and dont ever expect to have your child seen for an appointment unless its a month in advance which what human can see a dr for anything than a physical by making a month in advance apt. Another pediatrician really needs to practice in south lake tahoe. Cant wait for either that or to move because what terrible care. Every parent ive talked to that takes their child to him says the same but there is no one else to go to.

I would never recommend this office. Had my son in for a check up and to discuss an ongoing medical issue. Dr. Doyle did a check up then said he wanted my son’s records from another Dr. so he could review them and come up with a plan of care.
It has been over a month and I still have yet to receive a call regarding a plan of action for my son’s medical care. I gave it a week and a half (PLENTY of time to get faxed medical records and to review them) before I called to inquire about it. The office manager/​receptionist (she has an accent-​Idk if it is Australian) was rude and acted as if I were a bother. She said she saw my son’s medical records come through, but didn’t know what they were for and just put them in his chart. Hmmm, if you don’t know what something is for, shouldn’t one ASK? She said she’d write the Dr. a note and put his chart on his desk. Several more weeks have passed and I have still heard NOTHING from this office.
Meanwhile, I have gotten my son into see a different physician. Complete physical, she got his records, and my son has had several diagnostic tests while Dr. Doyle is STILL sitting on my son’s chart, doing nothing. I am glad I trusted my gut and moved on. I am just annoyed about the wasted co pay I had to pay.
